Congratulations.

As sad as I was to loose to you guys in todays game, I'm happy for you as a great neighbor.

You did a great job in hosting the 2010 games and a great job performing in them.

Hail Canada.

[SouthernWingsFan]

Started by a Canadian. Just a statement of fact.

That doesn't make it any more right/wrong. Who gives a damn. It's petty bantering and it's stupid. You can be proud of your home country without giving s**t to the other country. It's not diffucult.

[redwingfan19]

Let me direct you to your own post.

You're right, that's dripping in class.

[Howard He Do It?!]

Haha yeah bring up something that happened that long ago, keep feeling big with all those silver and bronze I personally love gold myself though.

Statements of fact really suck when they go against you.

YOU WON OLYMPIC GOLD?????!!!!????? Wow, congratulations. I know personally if I trained my whole life for a sport and won any olympic medal, I would be ecstatic...kinda like Michaels Phelps who says he appreciates his silver and bronzes just as much as his golds.

Does anybody outside of Canada really care?



*crickets.....

Well theres already been about 15 posts in here so it looks like it?

but if not, then just let the Canadians post in here, I know theres plenty of posters from Canada on the site, this thread was ade for them.

What? Curling is not only the 2nd best thing about the Winter olympics, but Sweden also beat Canada in the women's curling final.

However, Women's hockey shouldn't be in the Olympics that's a free gold for canada.

And I'm not sure exactly where canada got most of their golds, but I feel like all the different snowboard events have been very dominated by canada and the US.
there are constantly these new sports being added to the olympics, making it easier and easier to get a high medal count, especially for the big countries like US and Canada.

We didn't just win in the made-up sports. Men's and women's hockey, curling, long track speed skating, short track speed skating, figure skating, women's two-person boblsed, men's skeleton, as well as snowboarding and he freestyle skiing. A lot of different skills and sports involved.

Hopefully, the athletes don't get their funding cut by the Cdn government. On to Sochi.

Try having a point next time you post. It makes it so much more interesting to the reader.

I wouldn't exactly call it butthurt to point out the hypocrisy of the OP.

[titanium2]

I've got an impression that Chinese would disagree

A Canadian on here then says, "Yeah but they cheated."
Someone else on here says, "Right... 3/4 of the officials on the ice were Canadian, what's that about?"

Just trying to speed things along.

Silver and bronze are pretty good. You treat them as if there is only 3 competitors in each event, and bronze is dead last. The gold, silver, and bronze winners in each event are separated by such small fractions who knows what would happen on any given day. Look at how many competitors are in each event. There is hardly a difference between bronze and gold in most events.

sure... and good, hard-working Canadians achieved everything with their work, huh?

welcome to the dreamland...


it's 55 to 14 in this case. do you really insist on challenging this fact? with "they cheated"...

No i know bronze and silver are great but when it got brought up in another thread every american in there was tlaking about how huge their medal count is and how we're just the little brother still and blah blah blah.

We set a record for most golds at the olympics, pretty much the biggest thing you can win in sports and its being downplayed in other threads as if its not that great.

Fact of the matter is, we did win the most gold and its something for every Canadian to be proud of in here. It shows the strides our country is making in sports especially compared to the last few olympics and its great to see. The states have dominated most sports for a long time and it seems alot of posters dont wanna give credit to Canada in here where credit is due. I'm not saying everyone but theres plenty that don't.

[Original-Six]

I would be more impressed if they broke the shutout or fewest goals allowed record. Blowing up backwoods euro teams including the 2 worst in the tournament in just meh. Not to mention they also played the max number of games possible.

most golds in the WINTER OLYMPICS. China holds the record with 51 golds in a single olympic games (Beijing 2008)

[Chairman Maouth]

With Canada sealing the deal on the hockey game they set a record for most golds at a single Olympics.

What a fitting way to set the record, proving hockey belongs to Canada with Gold in both men's and women's.

A great day to be Canadian.

And before anyone brings up the USA medal count, yeah we get it you guys were the 1st loser and the second loser more then us but we have the most gold which is what really matters!

Well it finally happened. I finally met a Newfie I didn't like.

Wrong.

What you want to say is that Canada set the record for most golds at the Winter Olympics. Get your facts straight.

Good for Canada.

Haters need to go away and stop bitching about it.

[Yellowknife Redwing]

As a Canadian, I'm embarrassed by this post. Great game by the USA, great final.

Chinese are more than a billion, they should not count

Canada did great.
Much better than in Calgary for instance. Nobody expected them so good. And they won the gold in hockey.

It's always hard to compare olympics cause new sports are added...
I guess 13 gold medails for Soviet Union in Innsbruck 1976 is still the most impressive performance ever.

[Tane]

How did you guys in Canada do last time you hosted the Olympics in the gold count? I recall you guys doing pretty well last time.

we were s***. 0 golds in 88, 0 golds in 76.

We've improved by 14 Gold medals since 88. How many have you improved by?

We've improved by 14 golds since the last time we've hosted how many have you improved by?

Canada Owned the Podium this year. Think silvers count? Go tell the Buffalo bills that Silver Matters.
