Topic ONE:
I gotta say that it's been a long time since I've been THAT disappointed in a hockey loss. Canada gassing a 3-0 second period lead and losing to the Russians 5-3 in the Gold medal game was simply stunning and devastating. But that's junior hockey- things can turn at the drop of a hat. I still can't figure out who and when the hat dropped. Congrats to the Russians.
Topic TWO:
Pierre Mcguire could have sounded a little less bitter after the game. But at least he sucked it up enough to give Russia a little credit for showing a ton of heart and desire in the third period. We in Canada often think that we're the only ones capable of showing guts and determination. We do NOT have the market cornered on these things. There's a lot of great hockey players on this planet- which is fantastic for the future of the sport!
Topic THREE:
John Elway mastered many a spectacular comeback for the Denver Broncos, but this one might take some work. Elway is a classy guy (who I've met and he's as nice as they come) and now he takes over as the Broncos executive vice-president of football operations while chief operating officer Joe Ellis becomes team president. Happiest guy on the planet? Tim Tebow. Just a guess on my part, but imagine being able to wander down the hall for a pep talk from a Hall of Famer?
Topic BONUS:
Thanks to my friends Rod Pedersen and Mitchell Blair in Regina for adding my blog to their Blog Favourites. Same deal for Guy Flaming and Dean Millard in Edmonton. Cheers fellas!
