$10,000 for Sidney Crosby's missing stick and gloves


There's big bucks in store for the person who can turn in Sidney Crosby's missing hockey gear. Reebok Canada is offering a $10,000 reward, no questions asked, for the return of the stick and glove Crosby used to score his winning goal in last weekend's gold-medal game against the USA.

Hockey Canada says all of the equipment was collected and was being put into the players' bags when it was noticed Crosby's stick and glove were missing

Canada 3 USA 2 OVERTIME



So Canada wins...Tim Horton's 3 Dunkin Donuts 2.....and I suppose on the bright side, prevented a lot of suicides.

Three of the five goals in the game were scored by guys who went to the same Minnesota High School.... Parise, Toews, and Crosby.

Look for a run on poutine and Labatts............

I have a new found appreciation for women's hockey

The International Olympic Committee will investigate the actions of Canadian women's hockey players who celebrated their gold medal victory Thursday night by swigging beer and smoking cigars on the ice in Vancouver.

A number of players, including 18-year-old superstar Marie-Philip Poulin, were drinking alcohol on the ice following the team's 2-0 defeat of the United States. (The legal drinking age in BC is 19.)

Players lingered for more than 70 minutes after the awards ceremony reveling in the arena, which was empty except for media and arena staff.

When pepfests go horribly wrong...Gotta love that Canadian education!


If I wasn't actually watching this I wouldn't believe it could happen. Back in the day...we were just hoping to catch some cheerleader doing a high leg kick who forgot to put the panties on...Now days nothing gets the student body more fired up than a sexually-suggestive dance between two teachers eh?

Welcome to Winnipeg Manitoba, where a couple of teachers decided that a pep rally would be the perfect time to give their students a quick lesson in Sex Ed.

During the rally, one student captured two of the school's teachers performing a sexually suggestive dance in the middle of the gym floor, which they have since titled "Two Teachers, One Chair." With the music blasting and the female teacher seated on the chair watch the video to see what happened.

I'm sure these kids know what a lap dance is....you'd probably find way more porn on their ipod's than this little dance, it's just mind numbing to think you'd get two teachers to go along with this.

Danish Curler Madeleine Dupont Shows Off Hot Body In Nude Photo

(yes....you can click to enlarge)

A Danish curler was brought to tears after a boisterous Canadian crowd intentionally distracted her during crucial shots in her team's match against Canada. With the crowd stomping and making deafening noise, Denmark skip Madeleine Dupont missed two potentially game-winning shots and tearfully blamed the fans for it afterward. Canada won the match 5-4 in an extra end.
Madeleine is just one of the European Curlers who posed for the Calender 'FIRE ON ICE' with 26 more or less naked women....with this being her take on the pose. "If a picture of me in panties can get more people to watch curling on TV, that's a good thing."
You'll get no argument from me...

U.S. 5 Canada 3...Take that you hosers!

Take that eh?......you hosers. A sign at Canada Hockey Place read, “This is our game.” But the U.S. came into Canada's home rink and stole it.

The win was the first for the U.S. over Canada since 1960 in Squaw Valley when they won gold and it means the Americans will get a bye in the first round of the medal playoffs.

It was fun to watch and it's fun to rip on the Canucks..... but it really isn’t that huge of an upset like the media would like you to believe. Trust me...Canada wanted it badly though. The U.S. was outshoot 2-1, but couldn't dent Miller. There is a lack of chemistry on these teams since there is zero practice time, so whoever gets the hot goalie play can usually ride that.

They've got a kick ass fight song....but it didn't do them much good.

"Green Technology" = Fail at Winter Olympics...Zamboni to the rescue!

They’re called “Olympia machines” — electric versions of the old Zambonis — but, like many brilliant “green” ideas, they’re expensive and don’t work:

The electric Zambonis — part of Canada’s attempt at a green Vancouver Olympics — failed multiple times this evening, causing a massive delay in in the middle of the Men’s 500-meter speedskating event.

The Canadian-built electric ice resurfacers used at the Richmond Olympic Oval are supposed to help the environment but it cost the second half of the 500M speedskating pairs after one ice-resurfacing machine couldn’t properly clean the ice. Then a second machine failed. Then they brought in a third and it, too, screwed up the course.
With speeds of up to 40 MPH reached on the ice, the rutted and uneven surface was considered too dangerous to skate on. It was eventually fixed but American Shani Davis, prepping himself for a gold medal run in the 1,000-meter, decided to withdraw.

Three electric Olympia machines were used, and none did the job. Now those things, along with their batteries, will probably end up on a scrap heap somewhere, and the Vancouver Olympics organizers are airlifting in a good ol’ gas-powered Zamboni from Calgary so there are no more long delays at the rink. “Carbon neutral” baby..... I can feel it getting warmer outside already.

Yeah, let’s put the greenies in charge of the whole world!

Worst dressed Olympians...the Norwegian Curlers

The Norwegian curling team drew some curious looks from onlookers when they showed up for a training session on Sunday wearing pants purchased from Loudmouth Golf, the very same California-based company that outfits John Daly with his retina-scorching trousers.

The Norwegian team originally planned to wear the outfit for training, but considering the rock star status that curlers have in Vancouver... it might become permanent.

Personally, I think they're awesome. I see no problem with curlers bringing a little style, or lack of it.... to game.

My only concern is that the pants might have some sort of negative John Daley psychological impact on the curlers. The last thing these Norwegians need is to develop an addiction to white trash women, Diet Coke and Marlboros.

Luge Crash video from Vancouver Olympics


Watch CBS News Videos Online

Hey guys, you know what would be really great? If we lined the track with some huge steel beams. When a bad day at work involves slamming into a metal pole at 90mph, it's probably a good idea to look into a different occupation. Nodar Kumaritashvili, from the country of Georgia, died in a luge training run this morning.

The Winter Olympic version of NASCAR relies on pushing the envelope. How close can we get these people to the edge? Luge and skeleton, and to a lesser extent bobsleigh, will now go through the same crisis as NASCAR after every driver's death.

It's one thing to design a track that is so fast that it ends up being dangerous.... another thing entirely to have huge exposed metal poles right next to that track and to not put any padding around them.

Lindsey Vonn poses for Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue

The Minnesota kid from Apple Valley is making a big splash for her provocative photos in Sports Illustrated.....but this mornings announcement that she can't even get her ski boots on because of a training injury last week....and those photos might be all she ends up with from this Olympics.

I tried my best to ignore this because I hate the Olympics, (except for hockey) but even I have to admit this Lindey Vonn SI Cover controversy kind of caught me off guard. Seriously what am I missing here?.... because for the life of me I can’t figure out what the feminists and skiers are upset about here.

Not to mention the fact that 99% of the country has no idea who this chick is. If you want people to get to know her then you need them to be able to recognize her. NEWSFLASH...... nobody gives a rip about skiing.

More people will be interested now in watching her after seeing her face, rather than seeing her on TV with her helmet on. C'mon it’s a known fact that Americans don’t root for ugly chicks.
Head over to Sports Illustrated for all 45 shots.

Some killer BC Bud


Vancouver Olympics organisers are amazed that people think their Olympic torch looks like a joint.
The number one cash crop in British Columbia is marijuana and the province seems to be the headquarters of the Canadian cannabis culture.
