Here are a few things that caught my eye:
-The Men's Hockey Tournament was amazing. Congratulations to Canada for winning the gold medal in a sport that they were supposed to win. The United States had a heck of a run but I don't think anyone really expected them to beat Canada for the gold medal. There was a glimmer of hope when Zach Parise scored the equalizer with 24.4 seconds remaining in regulation, but when Sidney Crosby scored the game winner in overtime, I came back down to Earth. Once the game was over, I switched the channel to the Laker game to see them come back to beat the Nuggets. I didn't even see the medals ceremony.
-Apollo Ohno continued his dominance in short track speed skating. We've seen him do real well before in the Olympics. He's the Michael Phelps of the Winter Olympics.
-Curling is an enjoyable sport that doesn't make sense. I just watched it for comedic relief.
-USA, not Canada, owned the podium. We ended up with 37 medals to Canada's 26. Canada did win the most gold medals with 14 to USA's 9 but we got the last laugh.
