So the head of the Canadian Olympic Committee has officially stated that we will not own the podium however; we will be renting it from the USA when need be.

Pronger is actually the worst defenseman on the team. He is always making stupid plays and taking stupid penalties.... he has a good shot, which he never takes. He is not in his prime anymore. I would have taken Mike Green over him after all this.
I'm surprised Pronger even made the team.

As our gold winner Nesbitt said: it's the first time/Olympics the own the podium program is in effect and it's natural that some will buckle under the pressure while a few will rise to the top. It's about time we have something in place that not only supports our athletes but gives them a realistic level of expectation that they will face when performing at the world's highest level of competition. I personally am sick of us always being so complacent of simply being there. I'm in full support of the program. If the program is in effect for London, I bet we'll see an even better result as both the athletes and the commitee will now know the type of scrutiny they will face/be under.
They might have made a mistake in saying "we WILL own the podium" when they should've said: "we need to go in with the mentality to OWN the podium as if it belongs to us, even if it doesn't".

Is there anything you guys can do without us?
Completely joking. Truth be told I'd actually rather be Canadian. You guys are way more chill.

these olympics have not disapointed, epic drama + "dreams do come true" moments, etc etc... I don't want the games to end!
