captainsblogCanada's Twitter status has been downgraded:
from uncontrollable weeping to toaster-in-bathtub.
Now to convince Buffalo's nay-Sabre-sayers that, yes, having an all-world goalie is a pretty good thing if you merely qualify for the tournament.
A few helpful tips to my temporarily unhonourary place of citizenship:
(1) When you're down by two goals, giving up one stupid penalty after another really cuts down on your chances of coming back;
(2) Since there are no commercial breaks in Olympic hockey, you might want to try putting in a goalie who's younger than that aging turnstile you put back there; and
(3) That thing you're shouting to cheer on your national team is just a variant on the "Go Leafs Go!" chant which supports a team that hasn't come close to winning anything since 1967.
We're off for a few days. You're noot. Beauty, eh?

It did bring back memories of the nasty things we used to yell at goalies at ECAC hockey when I was in college. "Hey JR! Your mom called! She says YOU SUCK!" "You're not a goalie, you're a vacuum cleaner! You're not a vacuum cleaner, you're a black hole! You're not a black hole, YOU JUST SUCK!"
Yale Precision Marching Band: for God, for Country, and for making goalies cry.

(What's that chicken icon got to do with it? No idea....)
