Monday musings

Here's how the world looks to me at the start of another work week:

• Team Canada's weaknesses (ie: Chris Pronger and Joe Thornton) were absolutely exposed by the Americans in last night's Olympic men's hockey showdown.
• Pronger is a definite liability on defence against a fast team. And Thornton continued his trend of disappearing in big games.
• Regina's Ryan Getzlaf needs to pick up his game as well. His passing was....not great.
• On the flip side, Rick Nash is a beast. Imagine what he could so with any sort of a supporting cast in Columbus.
• It sounds like it was quite a gong show in Brandon Friday night, as the Wheat Kings hammered the Regina Pats 10-2. Rod Pedersen's blog may have set a new record for comments about a junior hockey game in the wake of that one.
• The Pats beat Chilliwack 5-3 the following night, to keep their slim playoff hopes alive.
• The J-man's hockey team took a 12-2 beating Saturday morning. I guess they were trying to emulate the performance of the Pats the night before?
• The Toronto Argos were busy cleaning house this weekend, releasing quarterbacks Kerry Joseph and Cody Pickett and linebacker Zeke Moreno.
• I wonder if KJ is regretting his decision to leave Saskatchewan after the championship season of 2007?
• Granted, it wasn't totally his decision, as he was traded by then-general manager Eric Tillman. But still...
• Do the people who come flying out of grocery store aisles without looking drive their cars the same way they operate their carts? I called two people morons at Sobeys yesterday, and I'm guessing they still haven't figured out why.
• Is it Friday yet?
