Go CANADA Go Olympic Thread

Canada about to go on the power play

Going to overtime

Even if they lose, if they beat the US, they win the pool & get the 3 seed

Team Canada wins, in a shootout

That makes them 2-0 up against the USA at 2-0 this Sunday, winner gets the pool win and a bye

Apparently the German Ladies' Curling Team thinks the crowd is too loud.  Doesnt like that the crowd cheered at crucial plays for germany but got quiet for canada's plays

(10pm)Ladies' Curling; (4-0)Canada vs (4-2)China

The Ldies' only needed 7 Ends to beat the US, Canada is now 5-0 & could guarantee a playoff for the semis with a win tonight over the World Champions

All 3 Canadians in the Ski Cross qualified for the next round.  Only 1 rider from qualification didnt qualify though,  - Canada's Chris Delbrasco had the 2nd best time though

Delbrasco hit a snag on the 2nd last jump & crashed, finishing 4th

Worst Case for Team Canada tonight would be a loss in regulation of course, it would make Canada the 6th seed.  They'd get the lowely Germans in the first round. 

Last place Latvia will get either the Czech Rep or Sweden and should lose easily which would mean that a loss tonight & a win against Germany will give Canada the Russians in the quarter finals

Not good

If Canada wins, they get the 2nd seed, they could still get 1st but would need sweden/finland to go to overtime and canada would have to win goal differential

At the 2 seed, provided that norway doesnt pull a shocker, canada would get slovakia in the quarter finals

A loss tonight isnt the end of the world but it will make a huge difference on making the semis

CANADA'S NINTH MEDAL OF THE GAMES!!!

Kristina Groves' SECOND medal of the games!!!!

She takes Silver in the Ladies' 1500m Long Track

Totals: 4 Gold, 4 Silver, 1 Bronze

Canada just won 7-5, Canada is now 7-0 & guaranteed first ro second

I instantly thought the same at the moment they flashed his mug up....

Schedule for Monday the 22nd:

(12pm ET)Men's Curling; (7-0)Canada vs (2-5)United States - A win gives Kevin Martin's rink 1st overall for semifinals

(1pm)Team Large Hill - 1st Round; Mackenzie Boyd-Clowes, Trevor Morrice, Eric Mitchell & Stefan Reid will all jump first in each go around - Second Round is at 2pm

Besides, we had a Gold within grasp tonight & that's what im focused on
