It's about time some of those crooked Korean speed skaters got DQ-ed. Looked good on them.

Well done girls.

It was a good time to take in the Free Beer for Medals Night at the pub. Just as your about to leave, the medal haul starts.

Okay... the Olympic rings are in Coal Harbour, which is in the southwester part of Burrard inlet. The closest "bay" is English Bay which is on the other side of the First Narrows (Lions Gate bridge), Stanley Park.

Well then H why dont you take that up with CTV

You would think CTV would be a little more on the ball than that, one really has to wonder who does their research! but after the latest gaff....

Canada's women win third straight hockey gold medal

$1:

Home-ice pressure? No problem.

The Canadian women's hockey team has embraced a nation's desire for hockey gold and it has delivered just that.

Led by an 18-year-old scoring phenom and a goalie most considered the sure No.3 just a few months ago, Canada skated to a confident 2-0 win over its rival from the United States, and seized its third straight Olympic gold medal.

Marie-Philip Poulin of Beauceville, Que. scored two goals on U.S. netminder Jessie Vetter - both in the first period -- to lead the charge in just her first Olympic Games.

The rest of the game was scoreless for both teams. Shannon Szabados was impenetrable in the Canadian net, making 28 saves, many of them the sort that made jaws drop and the crowd erupt. The native of Edmonton, Alta., made several of her signature sprawling glove saves, giving her team a huge burst of momentum.

Also a first-time Olympian, Szabados was a big part of a disciplined Canadian penalty-killing effort that killed off numerous U.S powerplays, including a critical five-on-three early in the second period.

Canada's women errupted in celebration before a deafening crowd as the final buzzer sounded, piling onto Szabados for their long awaited victory hug.

Fabulous game by our women!

After seeing that "Play like girls" cartoon that was posted on the site a few days ago, Trevor should look into adding jerseys to the CKA store.

After that gold medal game, I'd gladly wear one!
