go, team canada, go!

I like the Olympics. They're pretty fun to watch. I enjoy watching our dear Country's "medal count" go up, and I cry as the olympians crash or fall. There are a lot of good events in the Olympics. Figure skating is always interesting to watch, and ski jumping, and speed skating, but there's one event in particular that I just can't get into. It's hockey. Maybe it's the rather boring jerseys, or the fact that we'll probably win, or at least do really well, or maybe it's just because a lot of the other countries I've watched them play so far don't seem to stand a chance against the Canadian team, but it's just stinkin' boring to me. Don't get me wrong- the idea of an all-star Canadian team comprised of our best players is an exciting prospect, but I just can't seem to get into it. Maybe my love of hockey is fading a little these days. Maybe I was put off by the long break from the NHL and I just haven't gotten as excited about it all since then. Maybe it's not all it's cracked up to be... or maybe my hockey helmet is just on a little too tight.
