Forget the 0-7 the past few days, 2-0 today.
Finally, "the Rock(s) have come back to the US"..........do either team still have a medal chance?

Teemu Selanne's assist on Timmonen's 2nd goal gives Selanne 37 career points in the Olympics, a new record.

Bernard draws it dead center on the final throw. Canada 4-0.
2/20/10 | Chief_aka_James | 3286 respect
Canada playing it smart and easy in the 11th, just peeling off any sort of blockers Denmark is trying to put up, and will be down to Cheryl Bernard again.
2/20/10 | Chief_aka_James | 3286 respect
Cheryl Bernard with a great shot, and Dupont was able to replicate it. Tied up, going to the 11th.
2/20/10 | Chief_aka_James | 3286 respect
Russia had a 5-0 lead on Switzerland too, but end up losing 8-5.
2/20/10 | Chief_aka_James | 3286 respect
Japan puts a 5 spot up on England to win it 11-4.
2/20/10 | Chief_aka_James | 3286 respect
Denmark had the chance to clear the 9th end and take the hammer to the 10th tied, instead Dupont whiffed, and Canada steals a point. 4-3 Canada, but Dupont/Denmark still have the hammer.
2/19/10 | Chief_aka_James | 3286 respect
Japan had an easy draw to take a 5-3 lead in their match.
2/19/10 | Chief_aka_James | 3286 respect
Dupont with a nice throw and the Danes take a 3-2 lead.
2/19/10 | Chief_aka_James | 3286 respect
Yea, those Dupont girls are nice, I'm definitely liking Cheryl more and more though.
2/19/10 | derms33 | 17300 respect
do women curlers make good wives? They can sweep the $hit outta your house
2/19/10 | Chief_aka_James | 3286 respect
Bernard misses a chance at 4? I didn't think that was possible for her...
2/19/10 | Chief_aka_James | 3286 respect
Uh oh, the Canadian womens curling team just said "sh*t" on live tv. Anyone expect a larger uproar than the Shaun White one...
2/19/10 | Chief_aka_James | 3286 respect
Bad news: No US womens curling match tonight.
Good news: That means Cheryl Bernard and Team Canada are playing.

That Italian dude took a HUGE fall on the Super-G run. Took out a gate.
2/19/10 | Chief_aka_James | 3286 respect
Dufour doesn't get it, US wins! 4-3.
Forget the 0-7 the past few days, 2-0 today.
2/19/10 | Chief_aka_James | 3286 respect
Final throw for France, US in a great spot right now.
2/19/10 | Chief_aka_James | 3286 respect
Of course while we say that, France does pick up two, but still - 3-1 after 7? Seems remarkably low.

It's really amazing how long it has stayed this low scoring. What a weird game.
2/19/10 | Chief_aka_James | 3286 respect
A Schuster-less US team is still looking decent, but not sure how long it will be this low scoring of a match.

Well I'm not getting hard watching curling, but they are attractive..
On a side Olympic note, I would like to vent about the my latest run in with sh*tty NBC coverage.. I had to wrok late last night, so I DVRd the Canada - Suisse hockey game. All I wanted to do after a long day was grab a beer and watch that game.. So I hit play and it's curling.. not so bad, I'll fast forward a little bit,. Then a little bit more.. then a little bit more.. Finally hockey.. and there's aunder two minutes to go in teh first and it's 1-0 Canada.. Mother F*ck.. Then in their constant attempt to shoehorn in a 30 second commercial in a 20 break for a faceoff, Switzerland scored thier first goal.. It is so damn irritating.. There are three awesome matchups on Sunday, please don't ruin them
That is all
2/19/10 | ary201 | 213 respect

2/19/10 | Chief_aka_James | 3286 respect
