I don’t think the size limits for pads are as strict as in the NHL. The NHL basically is making their own rules to increase scoring.

You should. But the best snipers use .50. Cal and a lot of th best are Canadian. We would all appreciate more well trained snipers to take out the enemy.

I'm the military....absolutely!

Joe civilian...not so much

Ask me how much I love my Kiwami LD Aero Trisuit

Thank you.

Maybe next time send the Leafs. They also disappoint. :-)

I think you nailed it with "most Canadians". Too many of us don't realize that there are other winter sports besides hockey and curling (which ironically nowadays are mostly played indoors in the CDN winters). Sort of like the Johnny Canuck that thinks that there are only two types of beer in the entire world - Molson and LaBatt.

Are you saying there is more to the world than 50?

Meh, no NHL players not our best. That being said I'm enjoying it, you don't know who'll win, I'm pulling for Germany now as they've never won it before.

We do really well in fringe skiing events as well, just got another gold in some snowboard jumping thing.

Labatt 50 is absolutely the worlds shittiest beer. I think every Canadian kid when in high school had their first drunk on that crap and puked their guts out that night. Surprisingly its still very popular in rural Quebec. And of course still with teenagers getting drunk for the first time. Can't talk any more about 50 as I might want to barf. Memories of that shit is just so bad all these years later.

We've been doing well in the goofball baggy pants/big air type sports. I wish we could do better in x-country skiing or the big Alpine sports. I'm old enough to remember the days of the Crazy Canucks.

Troll of the week, this time from the German Foreign Office: ;-)

Travel advisory: Germans in Canada should exercise a high degree of empathy. Be nice, don’t gloat, give hugs, buy rounds of hot chocolate. Just imagine how you would feel if Canada beat us in soccer #CANGER @TeamD @CanadaFP @GermanyInCanada @KanadaBotschaft

"Politics is just show business for ugly people."

We have German friends, I thought it was funny. Our reply back was pretty good too. I like when people have a sense of humor.

Yup. That reply back was GOOD. :-)

"Politics is just show business for ugly people."

Wait, what? we sent the Maple Leafs roster to Korea?
Bazinga!

Remember - It's important to be comfortable in your own skin... because it turns out society frowns on wearing other people's

And now one of their athletes has been arrested for stealing a car. Apparently a skier, his wife, and his trainer were out at night, felt like it was really cold, so they just decided to take a car that was unlocked and running. Shockingly, alcohol was involved, something like 3 times the limit in S. Korea. I’m sure he’ll say he’s soory.
