- When I was trying to predict who would score the overtime winner (for Canada, duh!) in yesterday's men's gold medal game, the first name that came to mind was Sidney Crosby. However, I rejected the idea, as Crosby had done nothing offensively for about three games.
- Always trust your gut, I guess.
- So, how does Crosby's goal rank up there with Paul Henderson's in 1972? Or Mario Lemieux's in 1987? How about Darryl Sittler's (first Canada Cup) in 1976?
- I'd put Sid's goal third on that list, behind Henderson and Lemieux.
- Is yesterday's result what Leafs fans can expect if Burke, Wilson and Kessel get us to a championship game? I'd still take it.
- It's not going to be easy to go back to watching regular season NHL games after that fantastic display of hockey at the Olympics. Canada vs the U.S., or Toronto vs Edmonton? Hmm, tough call!
- Congrats to all the Saskatchewan athletes who represented this province so well at the Olympics. 11 athletes from Saskatchewan took part, and nine of them brought home medals. Impressive!
- Joannie Rochette was absolutely the right choice to carry the Canadian flag for the closing ceremonies. Her courage and grace in the face of incredible personal adversity won't soon be forgotten.
- Although the opening and closing ceremonies were a bit "out there", I think the folks in Vancouver and Whistler deserve a huge thumbs-up for putting on a terrific Olympics.
- And that's despite what the English (bitter and buck-toothed) and American (jealous) media might say!
- Now it's back to reality, I guess. And the reality is, the Regina Pats aren't going to make the WHL playoffs for the second year in a row.
- This, despite having three NHL first round picks in the lineup. And super sophomore Jordan Weal.
- With a beefed-up offensive line, an elite receiving corps, key additions in Dominique Dorsey and Prechae Rodriquez, and another year of experience for Darian Durant, is there any reason to think the Saskatchewan Roughriders won't have the CFL's best offense in 2010?
- Now, about that defensive line...

You go ahead and nurse your Olympic hangover. I won't be too loud:

Very curious if the wise ass who had the commentary regarding the reasons Haitti got hit with and Earth Quake could explain why Chile got nailed?
Maybe God is angry because only 85% of the Chilean population is Christian? It's all the fault of that other 15%.
/sarcasm off
Exactly....and that's where I was going with that.
Of course being the good Christian he is he hopped the first plane. I'm sure he's in Haitti or Chile right now pitching in, and helping out in anyway he can.
Note: This is satire, not truth, but it fits:

The comments on that post scare me. Hence the need to point out it's satire, I guess!
Yeah. I try very hard not to read comments on certain posts -- like this one, or on any newspaper article -- because I'd prefer to live in a la-la land where everyone has brains. Unfortunately, many commenters don't.
Of course, I probably just said something about myself...
