Let's hope Canada can best Finland and their skip with the ridiculously long name. 
Sorry but I have to root for the motherland... go Finland!!!
Uusipavelniemi is a mathematical genius you know, with a mean draw and a wicked hammer, although it should be a great game no doubt.
Kinda funny that Canada's best shot for gold on ice is in curling...hah!
...right. Um, how many gold medals does Finland have? That's what I thought.

I'm getting up at 5:45 so I can watch the live broadcast at 6a.m. of the bronze metal match between the USA and Scotland(playing under Great Britain's flag)
Wow. Now that's dedication. Even my parents (who are avid curlers) would say fuck it and wait for the replay.
Only they wouldn't really say "fuck it".

Let me get this straight...you think baseball is boring....but sliding rocks...across ice...with brooms...is exciting? 
Baseball is really boring.
But so is curling. Just not quite as much.
Baseball may be boring to you, but baseball is not in and of itself boring.

Seeing Gretzky spit over the rail then leave with a scowl on his face was heartbreaking. 
I must say I don't know what the 'oooaaa' smilie means, so I don't really know what you mean. But, one thing I'll give Gretzky is that he never once dodged a question (even during 'the scandal'), spouted bullshit, or held back his feelings during this tournament. I know the amount of emotion during the Olympics can sometimes get uncomfortable to watch, but those in high offices (General Manager/Great One) can often frustrate in their lack of candidness.

I missed most of the Finland/Canada match (as I was drunk), but I did manage to catch the last two ends. Later read about the sixth end, which was devastating.
Oh well, I'm still insanely proud of the team, and especially of Uusis/M-15, who is just an amazing guy. He can solve the rubik's cube in 25 seconds, he's a mathematical genius and was at one point an extremely promising diver, until an injury and money troubles forced him to quit. The rest of the team is pretty damn impressive too, especially considering how small a sport curling is in Finland (I think less than 1000 active players).
Yes, they did put up a valiant effort.
