2018 Winter Olympics

Post by JEBar » Sat Feb 24, 2018 6:49 pm

I've really enjoyed following several events in the Winter Olympics, most notably the Men's Curling and Women's Ice Hockey events .... I can identify with the old guys on the Curing Team, they really seem to be "good old boys"

We always watch the Winter Olympics. Skiing is a big deal, up here, so very relevant sport for us. Biathlon is my favorite, of course.

It always dominates Canadian TV. We don't follow it. Been watching lots of movies. About the only sports I watch is NHL hockey.

My girlfriend followed the skiing and skating. I didn't watch much. I'm with RR, but I don't follow any sports anymore. Never had much time for it.

Of what I did see, I was impressed by some. Always someone great waiting in the wings.

Been a hockey fan since I was a kid. I go to the local minor pro team games all the time. Next year the local team will be right under the Colorado Avalanche. Colorado Eagles will be an AHL team. Cant wait to see what happens. Last year the Eagles won the ECHL Kelley Cup. There i n first place again this year. Will be interesting to see what happens.

I like how after the Americans won the Curling medal (or maybe it was the semis, either way) the guy said he was going to celebrate by heading back to Olympic Village and getting a McFlurry.
