Since I got my sour grapes out of my system in ANOTHER thread, let me offer my sincere congratulations to Canada. While it's never fun to lose, the Americans did a hell of a lot better than all the experts who said we had NO shot to win after the way the Canadian routed Russia last week.

Speaking of Russia, I expect them to own BOTH our @$$es four years from now in Sochi. Especially MY team---they've been waiting 34 years for payback, and I think Ovechkin will give it to them. But if he brings my Capitals the Stanley Cup I may learn how a few words in Russian to cheer his team on. (When they aren't playing the U.S. that is!)
