Congratulations, Canada!

In sudden death overtime, Canada's men's hockey team scored and won the Olympic gold medal 3-2. I didn't watch any of the game, only listened to bits playing in the other room while working and such.

Proud as I am of how well US athletes have done in the rest of the Olympics, I'm delighted that Canada came out on top in hockey, and that the US gave them such a good run for the gold.

Yay, Canada!

Only if the other country was Canada. Or if there weren't any Americans anywhere near medal contention. Clearly they felt that talking enthusiastically about Korean or Chinese or Bellerussian athletes was preferable to dead air time.

But if you were actually trying to WATCH any of the events you would have discovered that they were constantly cutting away from events in progress to cover one American heading down a ski jump and then cutting over to another event where Americans were hopping into a bobsled and so on.
