Sorry...this made me laugh. Eight years of parochial schooling including daily bible studies and I still didn't know God was a hockey fan.
I'm sure I read that in the Holy Bible somewhere.

Re: Canadian Olympic Team drinking champaign
You still can in Erie.... sat at a bar and shared my cigar smoke openly with everyone there! I'm sure it's just a matter of time though....
Re: Canadian Olympic Team drinking champaign
And were the Lakers there, breathing in the poison
When I played, there was a fan who used to come and watch practice. He smoked a cigar, and at first we couldn't figure out what was making us all nauseous. Coach asked him to leave, and don't shut the door behind him.

Re: Canadian Olympic Team drinking champaign
You can't smoke in any building here either.
According to an article in today's Toronto Star, they were not actually smoking the cigars anyways, they were just using them as props for the photographers.
Isn't is wonderful?!...the women's hockey team is STILL getting mentioned with two more photo accompaniments FOUR DAYS after they won! As i said before, this brewhaha turned into the best thing that every happened to women's hockey....not to mention getting Olympic sponsor Molson's, the "official drink of the Vancouver games" extraordinary additional mileage out of their sponsorship. Never hurts to make a sponsor very happy.
In Olympic post-analysis coverage today, each of The Star's 12 reporters at the games wrote a column describing their single best memory over the past 2 weeks. Paul Hunter, a hockey reporter who usually covers the Maple Leafs, surprisingly didn't chose anything to do with the men's final game--certainly one of the best games in hockey history--as his choice. What was his Olympic highlight? The women's hockey post-game celly....
Here's an excerpt from his column today :
"Rare are the glimpses into the private moments of hockey players during the Olympic tournament. They are mostly sealed off from the media....So it was indeed special for a few reporters when the party came to them.....They posed for pictures, using cigars as props, and--egads!--sipping beer and champagne.
It was great giggly fun.
Hard to believe some people had to have a pickle surgically removed when they learned a gold medal was being celebrated with a cold beverage and unrestrained joy. The women, still in uniform and wearing their medals, even positioned the Zamboni for better photo ops. Beer, Zambonis and a hockey gold medal. Doesn't get any more Canadian than that, eh?"
No, it certainly doesn't.
And, for a veteran NHL hockey reporter, that this particular memory was so special as to overshadow one of the most incredible men's finales ever...well, you just can't do better than that, can you?

Re: Canadian Olympic Team drinking champaign
Again missing the point!!! Celebrate all you want but do not put yourself in the spotlight for critics it is hard enough to get people to buy into women's hockey. You do not know how many people asked me about that lack of class
It does not help the women's game it just makes it a joke!
And by the way calling someone an idiot because you don't like their opinion lacks class also you must be a republican!!

Re: Canadian Olympic Team drinking champaign
Are you kidding us? For the first time in history the women's game was on the front page of most newspapers globaly...in fact hearing now that they want to make a made for TV movie about the whole affair! I'll leave it up to you to guess who's behind that.
Sorry but if this is what it takes to put women's hockey on the map...the Canuckleheads won't be to shy to take the credit for it. Afterall everybody knows who Bob and Doug McKenzie are..."Beauty eh!"
Ka-ru-Ka-ru-Ka-ru-Koo-Koo...

Re: Canadian Olympic Team drinking champaign
WOW a little uptight, aren't you. I sincerely doubt that the conduct immediately after the biggest game of these athletes lives, is going to tarnish the women's game.
with regards to your other comment, I guess you should be happy you were only referred to as an idiot for disagreeing with an opinion. It is a lot better than being called a racist, terrorist, nut job, uneducated, redneck, etc...that those who disagree with Obama and the democrats are called these days.

Always hijacking to spread your personal, twisted, partisan political view.
Were you around when anyone who voiced disagreement with any Bush/Bush/Reagan/Republican policy was labeled a looney, leftist, uneducated, traitorous, unpatriotic treasonist?

absolutely, I was and I didn't agree with that either. I was not the one who started the political debate here brooky, pomminville threw that gauntlet out. For the record I am neither a democrat or a republican.

I'd wager that the "Canadian Team Drinking" thread followers don't really give a rat's arse what political affiliations any of you have.
If you want to talk American Politics, and I can't imagine why anyone would, take it somewhere else...nobody here cares.
