I am Canadian. Congratulations to the USA team for their win yesterday. I also want to commend the team for acknowledging Johnny Gaudreau - that was classy and should be recognized as a heartfelt tribute to a team member. Canadians find very little about Americans "classy" in today's world so it is important to acknowledge when USA team members step up. While Canadians are "suffering together" at the loss we are not "psychologically wounded". Instead we philosophically agreed that we can let the USA team win every half century. See you next time and don't expect a repeat!!
Just finished listening to Keith Olbermann wonder why the NHL had to shut down its playing for the two weeks of the Olympics while the pros played thus risking injury(it happened)and playoff chances. Since I know less than nothing about hockey, except that old saw about it being a fight where hockey breaks out, I’ll keep my thoughts to myself EXCEPT to say congratulations to the women’s hockey team that also beat the Canadian woman’s team for gold as well. Well done ladies 👏🏻👏🏻!
Loved Teddy Roosevelt’s quote about the Grand Canyon. Thank goodness for his foresight and its preservation. I’ve had the good fortune to have witnessed a Grand Canton sunrise and an up close and personal view of it as my friend and I rode all the way down into it after an historic snowstorm almost derailed our plans. Heard one of the best National Park Ranger talks about the formation of the canyon that I had ever experienced. The whole trip was truly one of the highlights in my life.
You mean the predictably bitter and increasingly unhinged Keith Olbermann, who turned a gold-medal celebration into a partisan grievance aimed squarely at the men's hockey team and the president.
Olbermann called the men "misogynistic" for not immediately declining an invitation to the State of the Union, effectively reprimanding them for their American pride....According to KO, the only way for men to respect women is to snub the President of the United States. Gotcha!
Save your breath Danny. The men’s hockey team was a disgrace and rightly called out for their idiotic display with Krazy Kash. That told their story right there.
The women’s hockey were more amazing, no mention. Rosalind had as much to do the the double helix, but in the pecking order of who does the work and who claims the credit, history is written… oh yes, it was 1953 and she was just a woman.
As thrilling as the game was, the after-game locker room party spoiled it all with its offensive misogyny and Kash Patel crashing it to drink beer. After all, the women won gold before the men and displayed much better sportsmanship than the men did.
Tretiak had been pulled after the first period. The last two,goals were given up by Mishkin.
Yes...it's a miracle that the planet known as earth allows human to plague its pristine nature and natural beauty.
Awesome Bill. Sometimes, its lije youre right in the same room, your enthusiasm comes through!

I'm sorry you had to listen to Olbermann though you recovered well enough to produce a good comment.
I never miss him.

How gratifying to see the Gold Medal winning hockey team at SOTU while you and Keith grouse for no reason at all.
The women’s hockey were more amazing, no mention. Rosalind had as much to do the the double helix, but in the pecking order of who does the work and who claims the credit, history is written… oh yes, it was 1953 and she was just a woman.
Bill - do you have females in your life?
