A surprise silver medal? On your 20th birthday? And you are just adorable? Well that earns you Hottie of the Day, Marianne St-Gelais. Just a fabu performance to get a silver in short track 500m for someone who was only suppose to medal in 2014. Félicitations Marianne!Around the Olympics, Jaro was outplayed by Tomas Vokoun in the the Slovaks' 3-1 loss to the Czechs, with Pleks scoring the 3rd goal. The Canadian women just crushed the Swedes (defending silver medalists remember) 13-1. Our "Canadian solid performance" of the day goes to Britt Janyk and a quality 6th in the women's downhill.
On the other side of the coin, there was Canadian chokage yesterday aplenty. Emily Brydon a very disappointing 16th in the downhill. She is ranked 5th in the world. Even worse was Denny Morrison in the long track 1000m, just terrible finishing 13th, when he was really expected to medal. Own this podium, losers [/grabs crotch].
OK, hockey. Bring on the Swiss! 7:30 pm on CTV. The Swiss are coming off a 3-1 loss to the USA to open the tournament. Brodeur will get the start. Don't underestimate the Swiss. Outstanding goaltending in Jonas Hiller and Martin Gerber. And I believe we all remember losing to them 2-0 in Turin in 2006. Iggy scored two goals against Jonas Hiller over the weekend in a Flames win over the Ducks.
Be sure to taunt the Swiss Mister in the comments.

The Swiss don't have Hab hero Paul DiPietro any more - so no fear.
Looking forward to Russia vs Jaro tonight! The Jaronator usually elevates his game in what should be a blizzard of pucks! The Swiss...meh!
Not a hottie, but you gotta love Shaun White, he puts the D in dude. Won gold for the US in the half pipe snowboarding competition.
Moey, there's 2 d's in dude.
My kids are huge Shaun White fans - Shaun White on Wii that is. I honestly didn't even know he was a real person until I turned on the snowboarding highlights. Whenever they play his games at home, he's always at the top of the leadernoard. I was like..."wtf - they are playing video games at the Olympics?? - Cool!"
wv - fryaliq - sorry...struggling to link it to the Swiss Mister - poor effort I know...forgive me...
It's time, it's time, it's time to hate the Swiss.
Maybe if Webber scores we will question his heart with the Bulldogs and the Habs? Who knows...
WV : chbot...you come up with something.
Two man Luge. Who the hell came up with that idea? Ok you lie down on a piece of wood with two skates attached with duct tape and I'll lay on top of you and we'll catapulte ourselves onto a track going 120KM Hr.
I can just see how that started one day on top of the track. Bobby's's sled broke down. Jimmy and him were the two last sliders left and the track was closing. So Jimmy says to Bobby, ''Hey Bobby i'll give you a ride (huummmm... lift)''. So Bobby thinks about the potential walk down to the bottom of the track and says, ''hell why not, i haven't had a good ride in some time''. So Jimmy lays down and says to Bobby, ''(hop) on''. So Bobby gets on (wink) and the ride begins. Half way down going about 150km hr Bobby if feeling rather scared and nervous (as well as something kinda hard). He yells to Jimmy, ''you think were gonna be alright''? To which Jimmy replies, ''I'm hard...I mean I'm fine, but your gonna die Bobby!''
Great to see the birthday girl pull one out for ''Les Canadiens''. Man those women are intense and they are some serious athletes. Love the racing suits.
Vonn is hot but Mancuso is even hotter. Love women in racing suits.
Shaun White. What can you say? Once in a while you get to see pure greatness in a sport and he by far shows just how much better he is then everyone else.
I still cannot figure out with like 6 Canadian networks covering the games why it is you cannot ever know what your going to see next and why you get to see things that happened two days ago. Talk about fucked up coverage.
Icky yucky stupid stinky Switzerland.
@moeman,
Don't make me come over there and give you a good and proper spanking, er smack on the head.
@robbie
the trick id to watch it online where they list not only wha't on for the day but also which channels are carrying what.
last night CTV, RDS and TSN were all showing the same hockey game and only Rogers sportsnet showed the short track skating - talk about crappy overall coverage
Je t'aimes Moey.
I believe there is a Brian Williams minimum content rule. Hopefully we reach it before the games are over. He is just so fucking beige, bland and so ever non-contraversial. We need a good scandal to pick things up a bit. We should send B.R. and Lise Beaudette over to Van to straighten out that lack of french thing.
@Ben D -
Those fucking tax-evader enabling, crappy chocolate promulgating, war-avoiding but mercenary breeding, intolerant mountain boys are gonna head for the hills after tonight!
Sick of the Swiss
Fucking hate Switzerland for their anti Muslim and anti minaret stand. Also their "neutrality" which is bullshit and just means "collaborate with the fucking Nazis".
In case you didn't get it, I hate Switzerland.
Wow. I've never seen so much hate for the Swiss. Well, I don't care if we're supposed to hate them, no fucking way am I giving up my Swiss Army knife. How the fuck else will I open my wine in my tent in the Alps? Fuck. And what about watches? Don't they make kick ass watches? And is it still a good place to fraud the government by hiding your money there? And Michelle Hunziker - don't forget about her. Stop the hate people. Oh and what the fuck else would you eat with your ham on rye? Eh? EH?
@L Dude, watch the video.
I'm rather fond of Geneva. I can't muster up a hate for Switzerland. Sorry.
I just love a good yodel every now and again.
WV = ricola
Why do you think the Japanese are wearing thongs on top of their uniforms?
Speaking of speed skating thong uniforms...
Another gold for Canada. Nesbit 1000m.
Congrats Christine!!!
DutCH band plays O' Canada for her. Camaraderie lives!
I remember when I was around 7 years old and I had just started snowboarding and my parents got me a snowboard magazine that featured Ross Powers (former halfpipe gold medallist), and he talked about how he had some 14 year old kid training with him and his team named Shaun White. I don't know why I remember this. Already when he was only 14 they knew he was going to be one of the best of all time.
I guess he's sort of like the sidney crosby of snowboarding
Swiss unis look like they belong on Red Cross workers or something
Allez les pantalons!!
/most French heard in the Games so far
Swiss Mister 1.0 and 2.0!
this PP is an embarassment
Heater!
HF29,
I was just thinking they need the Habs PP.
Good old McSplooge "their sticks have been really active"
Goal!
How cute. Streit is #7. Weber is #77.
So who didn't want Heatley on the Habs? I'd still take him, the fact that he may or may not be a jerk is irrelevant. I just want a cup, then he could fuck off.
Moey i dont think we're getting Heater off that San Jose line right now anyway. moot point
(w)interlude ...
HF29,
I was thinking back to before he went to the Sharks, when he wanted out of Ottawa. Some people were trashing him, saying they'd never want him on the Habs. Not on FHF, but other forums. A bit like the Sid trashing that goes on too. I'd happily take either one of them if we ever had the chance.
Anyone else worried that the Russians are going to destroy these big dorks?
nice moe. very underrated tune imho. and i always love Pete singing. though his hair in that vid needs some work
@Moey, yeah i remember. he really was sort of blackballed. not just by the Habs and their fans, but many other teams too. now look at him
totally off subject, but our favorite Dallas Star has a four page write up in the new Fourth Period magazine. He really is douche bag!
@B B - Marty Turco? ;)
@B B,
Brendan Morrow?
on another completely different topic, i just added OLN to my cable when i found out they have Olympics too. for those of your who complained upthread about the Olympics coverage in Canada, you don't know how good we have it compared to the Americans, where the bitching about coverage and commercials and tape delays has been endless
@B B,
Stéphane Robidas?
At this point I'd pay a fee to have make the Olympic song go away.
@LN11, and jennifur hedgehair.
go Sharks!
Swiss Misters are Shark-bitten.
2 hours and a bit for Christine Nesbitt's GOLD medal presentation. Bonus, not one but two DutCH cuties alongside our gorgeous, golden Canadian gal.
Sid wanted one there
uh oh. it's a game
uh oh, it's a disaster
Sid needs to start shooting and stop passing. And someone needs to smack McIdiot.
(w)interlude 2 ...
Time for the Babcock to pull out the Herb Brooke's speech.
Well played, Pronger. Well played.
Kypreos ripping into Pronger. I never thought Id be agreeing with Nick Kypreos
Moe thanks for 5 minutes of rocking and kim gordon fantasies
Bell fan choice award for best team uniform goes to
(drumroll)
Norwegian curling pants
Bien-VAN-noo 29.
Now I know why Mitch Melnick turns the volume off when he watches professional sports. Talk about milk toast for the masses, what a load of shite commentating.
Still lots of time and hockey to play and I don't expect a Stevie Y. 'the world hates us' rant.
The best is to mute the game and play Yakety-Sax. It's awesome.
Brodeur doing the Carey Price in the "fuck this shit gimme the puck and I'll clear the zone!" way.
Methinks Team Canada went to Shaun White's party.
heh@N31, too much pasta in torino, to much weed in Vancity.
mcsplooge is leaving his residue all over Streit.
@moeman
too many big dunces on the team in both cities.
Hiller > Gerber Baby
I hear ya Boob.
Good one N31.
McGuire really is an idiot.
They need to start hitting Streit?
This is exactly why Canadian hockey is in trouble. They all think that way.
They need to score you dweeb. They need to freaking out-skill the others and create scoring chances.
You don't need Morrow now - you need a Mike Green or Martin St.Louis.
mcsplooge, SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Pfff. Kirk Muller should have been hired as PP coach.
im speechless
The Sharks must be having some bad flashbacks from that playoff series last year.
just being in OT is a failure
Olympic hockey is about skill, hard work, and playing every game like it's Game 7. Team Canada has been too All-Star Gamey about this whole affair so far.
Imagine having to go to a shootout!
I may have a heart attack.
McGuire: shut the fuck up about Patrice Bergeron.
Too All Star-y. Exactly. Leave the NHL out of the Olympics.
a shoot out. un fucking believable
Let me guess. Send in the Sharks? That sounds like "Send in the Clowns".
It's a big improvement over Turin.
thx for the lol boob
lost control of the puck. jebus
Ouf!
sigh of relief, sure Chris. but fuck that was not good
Siiiiiiiiiiiiid.
Take the points.
Biggest fucking embarrassment = mcsplooge, what a fucking horrible loudmouth POS.
McIdiot is like that kid going "See! See! I TOLD you guys!" Guh.
I wonder how annoying it must be for the teams to have him between the benches always hovering around bothering them...
Get well Paul Henderson and fight the battle!
Re: Henderson; http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/story/2010/02/18/sp-henderson-cancer.html
So this Krueger guy is Canadian by birth and coached a sub-par team to a virtual tie with the Canadian Dream Team? And he's living/coaching in Switzerland so he must speak some French...
Ronan is onto something.
Fire JM.
Call up Guy BouCHer.
Hire Krueger for the Bulldogs.
Get Streit back.
Shea Weber 3, Yannick Weber 2. Lack of team speed a real concern. Marty St. Louis and his ilk would have been nice tonight. Losing 13/16 D-zone draws? How will that turn out against Russia or Sweden? I am scared.
The dumbing down of Canadian hockey.
Yzerman on why he would have picked Jeff Carter as a replacement: "we like his size".
Cavemen were pretty big too.
The dumbing down of Canadian hockey, part 2.
Pierre McGuire, with 7 minutes to go: "they need to start hitting Streit. That's why Morrow is on this team. He can turn it around with a big hit."
Christine Nesbitt...what a hottie!
Patrick Chan or KD Lang?
I suggest this picture of skiers Chemmy Alcott and Julia Mancuso for hottie of the day.
It is what the Olympic spirit is all about.
RIP John Babcock
JA-RO! JA-RO! JA-RO!
We need a Jaro post for this .Just saying.
