I was going to be all mopey about Team Canada's 2-0 loss to the Russians, but then I remembered that today was a great day for Canada at the Olympics. We're now in 4th place in the medal standings! Can't complain about that. Canmore's Chandra Crawford won a cross-country gold and radiated her 10,000 watt excitement all the way home. There was a short track relay silver, and Cindy Klassen won her fourth medal of the games, a gold in the 1500 m speed skating race. Her teammate Kristina Groves won silver! So really, we kicked ass today. I hope tomorrow's papers remember that and don't have a ten page insert on "What Went Wrong", and "How It Is All Gretzky's Fault". It wasn't a bad hockey game, for that matter. We just lost. And the women's team won gold the other day. So it's all good. The millionaires can come home to their NHL teams and try for Mr. Stanley.
