Shit. Oh well. Shuffleboard on ice. Canada would lose badly at table shuffleboard. Yes they play it up there as well.

How that has is an Olympic sport boggles the mind. I could probably master it in a couple hours.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Trust me, you have no fucking idea what you are talking about.

Their right ice scraper really came through this year with a clutch performance. I'll admit I counted him out, but he proved me wrong. His scrapping was consistent, timed well, and on point.

I tried it in Anchorage a couple times. Definitely not easy by any means.

Agree. JUst not sure why teams with a lead do not bang weights and give up the minimum? I have seen to many teams getting cute. And losing over the years.

Curling was basically invited to be an Olympic sport because Canada routinely got the shit kicked out of them in every single sport of consequence, and the Olympic committee didn't want them to feel bad. This is historically accurate and factual.

It's basically a step above a "participation trophy".

Come on Bush. I've come to expect far better from you. You can do much, much better than that.

I wasn't really trolling, just trying to keep this accomplishment in perspective. This is like the losers in grappling tournaments who brag about getting bronze medals, only to find out that only 4 people were in their division.

I was also a little stunned from seeing you saying "you mad" and attempting to use an internet meme as a 50 year (or whatever) old man. Tell me, tomorrow, are you going to ask your children "who let the dogs out?" while you go skateboarding, wearing your cap backwards?

Please elaborate on this however you wish.

Curling is awesome.

As far as Canada - pretty sure Hockey is a "sport of consequence"
