No way! If you can destroy France and Poland, you'll be almost slightly average :-)

I'm all for Canada kicking ass but...burning other countries is almost trolling, so let's not get in the habit.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

Hey.. I'm from Canada too but we usually don't allow for sports and political talk in these parts as it usually ends up in a flame war of some sort. I think it's safe to root on your athletes, just don't knock other countries please.

Go Canada!

It wasn't intended to be an attack on Norway they just happened to be the team Canada played against. In any case, no flame war nessecary. :)

Expect in team sports, where the team represents their country. :P

May the best team win, I just hope it's Canada, on Canadian soil it better be. :P

Too bad with the time difference. Olympic hockey is an awesome tournament.

I watched the US game vs Switzerland and Sw put up a decent fight. Though it's going to be tough to kick Canada's ass on their own turf.

Don't get mad, but I watched the junior world cup this winter and last year and even though Canada always have a great team, the also have slight advantage with the refs most of the time.

Never the less, I'm looking forward some great games with Russia, Sweden, USA and Canada. Also Finland looked pretty good yesterday.

piz out!

Go Sweden go!!!
