Thats fuckin ridiculous. Newscasters and Sportscasters are saying this olympics will be known for the insane fan support in Vancouver. Its being said to be one of the best olympics in history in regards to the fans contribution.

Probably because everyone in Calgary is an intolerable jackass who has a mullet and wears as much denim as possible. BC is one of thr few redeeming qualities Canada has, while Alberta on the otherhand is only good for producing hockey players and oil.

BC Produces far better hockey players anyways.
Just on this years roster we had 4 BC boys I think.
Weber, Seabrook, Keith, and El Capitain Scotty Niedermayer.
Might as well mention a former Team Canada Captain Joe Sakic.

Me too. Plus Nickelback, Avril Lavigne, Hedley, and Simple Plan (I didn't even know they still existed) all performed songs. How embarrassing! That's what the Canadian music scene has come down to, and now it's been presented on the world stage!

That sounds pretty damn elitist.

Oh come on now. State-side, we have our own elitism too. Like for example, for some reason the ungrateful slaw that inhabit Texas seems to think its too good for America lately.

Kesler is a serious exception.

Should be settled over a third game, or even a gold medal three game series. I noticed the Canadians do however play with more dive in their game as well.
