A couple with oblique references.

Miracle on Ice happened in Lake Placid with some Wisconsin Badger Hockey players on Team USA.
One of those was Mark Johnson. Who is the current Coach for Wisconsin Badger's Hockey.
Currently there are 9 Wisconsin Badger Women's Hockey players competing in the Winter Olympics. 5 on one team, 4 on another. Team USA and Team Canada are expected to be opponents in the final game for Gold. All 9 players could be in the same final game.


Sounds like USA played Canada for Olympic Gold vs Silver. And USA won. These 9 women must have been psyched to be on top of the world for that game.


I guess Canada jumped ahead of Germany for 2nd highest total of Medals.

Is Jocelyne Larocque the Canada Poster Child for Poor Sportsmanship?
Or is somebody else in Canada an even worse Sport?

I made a mistake in a post and instead of redoing it, I just deleted it. Sorry for the confusion.

It wasn't anything important.

I just went and read what happened and she has apologized for taking the medal off and being ungrateful.

Apologizing is good.

My MSM News, on the Olympics Broadcast Network, just reported Canada has 29 and Germany has 28.
