Monday Moaning (Oh Canada edition)

Well, again Canada showed their dominance in the sport of Hockey, to the entire world...First there was the Canadian women beating the U.S. women in overtime, for the gold medal...

Then in the men's semifinals, the Canadian team shutdown, and dominated an American team that had looked strong the whole tournament...The Americans looked flat most of the game, losing a tight defensive battle, 1-0...

The next day, the U.S.  fell flat again, looking pitiful in a 5-0 loss to Finland...Now, while Goalie Jonathan Quick played great against Canada, and he did play okay against the Finns, I would have started Ryan Miller in that game, just to give Quick the day off after the tough loss...I like Miller more anyways....But it didn't really matter...Quick was left hung out to dry most the game, as most of the Americans were looking flat, or in the case of Patrick Kane, pressing too hard...

So Sunday I had my money on Sweden who rolled through the tourney...But Canada played the same stifling game they put the U.S. through, and beat the Swedes 3-0...Canadian goalie Carey Price was totally out standing throughout the Olympics...

Those Canadians produce good looking goalies...

I wonder how well she can stick handle!?!

There is something unique about Olympic Hockey...I watched a lot of these Olympic games, minus the figure skating...And I got up early or DVR'ed a number of the hockey games...In all other Olympic events, winners of the Silver, and Bronze for the most part, are thrilled...They look genuinely happy when they finish their races, or what not...And they look happy to be getting their not Gold medal...But in Hockey, those Silver medal winners look just miserable...

Odd right, cause look how happy these two losers look standing on the sides of the chick that smoked them....

Is it that hockey players just care more?  Do the athletes in these others sports just have more fun, and are just happy to be there?  What is it?   I mean over time, I'd be happy to have my Silver or Bronze medal hanging on the wall, but that day...Right after some one beat my time, to take first place, I wouldn't bee smiling...I'd look pissed, and upset like the hockey players...

But now the Olympics are over and people can stop dreaming of another 1980 like "Miracle"...Every Olympics the 1980 U.S. Hockey team is brought up, and it brings us such joy...But it's time to knock it off...It will never happen again...Something that magical, and shocking, and thrilling won't happen, because, we have pro hockey players in the Olympics now...There is no dream of a bunch of college kids beating Russia's best...The Cold War is over...Their best play in the NHL, with our best, and Canada's best, and Sweden's best, and the rest of the best...Those moments are gone for good folks...

And for the few folks out there who were saying "Fuck Canada" over the last few days, I saw a great response to that on twitter Sunday morning...

"actually I'm pretty sure Canada fucks you" followed by this pic....

Pretty funny shit there!

Have a week...

Canada Takes Hockey Seriously....

That includes Ball Hockey...

Canada and the Czech Republic were squaring off in the World Ball Hockey Championship, and then this shit happened....




It's bad enough when you play Beer League or Late Night Hockey, and come across Johnny Hard-Ass...But I guess they have that guy in Ball Hockey too...Ball Hockey, for Canadians that can't skate...I didn't know they made those...

Dude just snapped and kept firing punches...And wow, did the Czech team ever live up to the hype about Euros being pussies...The only guy on the team that showed any guts was the goalie...And all he did was jump on his teammate who was getting pounded...He must have figured, 'I can't take this psycho Canadian, but I have more pads...Maybe he'll punch himself out on me.'

Doesn't look like that plan worked out to well for him...And the ref got fucked up too...He's laying there grabbing his knee, that got rolled up on...One report I saw said his MCL got shredded...A ref in Ball Hockey got his MCL wasted trying to break up a fight...Now I've seen all...

I always knew Hockey was a serious thing with our Neighbors to the North, but damn...Dude must have some issues about not getting any pub for his Ball Hockey career...I don't know 24, try to learn how to skate, and then play like a bad-ass...Maybe then the Hockey News will do a cover story on you and all your douche-baggery!

The Beeze.

"New Year's Rockin' Eve" My Ass!

Seriously, look at that orange bastard...Every year ABC has Dick Clark ,and his moosh mouth, propped up like another sequel to "Weekend at Bernie's"...This shit is ridiculous...Since his stroke a number of years ago, Dick has struggled with the countdown...Shit, he's struggled to talk, but it's his show, and whether it's him, or the network, the son of a bitch is there every year saying "Nappy Dew Year!"

While that's annoying as hell, I can get past the freak show aspect...But I have a big problem with the title..."Rockin' Eve"?????? There wasn't a a rockin' act all night...There wasn't even rock act...It was all Pop, Rap, and Country...It was garbage...

That annoying cunt Lady Gaga was on, doing her 'Look at me, I'm so profound' bullshit again...Hey, Gaga we already saw Madonna do this shit years ago...You try to sound like her, and you try to make a spectacle like her...You aren't profound or original...You're just a another dirty gash!

But then I got really pissed, when fucking Justin Bieber rolls out...Sitting at a piano, trying to talk all deep, and share his life lessons with us, and then he jumps into The Beatles "Let It Be"...Fuck you! This little shit ruined it...And for the guitar solo they wheel Carlos Santana out there...They got the Biebes playing a Beatles tune, with old ass Santana...Hmm, you think they are trying to sell him to an older audience as well now!?!



Fucking disgusting...

And Fuck Santana too...For a talented mother fucker, he loves jumping on other peoples coat-tails...His last couple hits were with other singers like Rob Thomas...Hey Carlos have some faith in your talent, and skills, and stop letting other people carry you...

I have some Canadian friends, and they just love it when they can say, "We do that better then you!" Well guess what...They did New Year's Eve better then us...They at least took care of the Rockin' part...New Year's Eve at Niagara Falls, with The Sheepdogs, Simple Plan, and Our Lady Peace...I don't actually know Simple Plan, but they play guitars, and do a rock like thing...The Sheepdogs got a Southern-rock vibe, and OLP made their name in the '90's during the "Alternative" movement...




Hey ABC, Dick Clark, Ryan Seacrest, and Justin Bieber, That's rockin'!





"HAPPY DEW YEAR!"

The Beeze.

Oh Canada....

That may be the only positive moment of the riot last night...Nothing like a riot to get the ladies wet!

For those who don't know, Vancouver Canucks fans, decided to go bat-shit crazy and riot last night after they lost game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals...Before I get ranting, here's a taste of what happened...



There are tons of videos out there, if you want to see more...

Fires, Multiple stabbings, guy pushed to his death from an overpass...Busted windows, overturned cars, looting...This is how Vancouver deals with a loss in the Stanley Cup Finals...And it's not the first time...These fucktards snapped like this in 1994 when they lost to the New York Rangers...

And before we go any further, YES, I'm judging the whole fucking city based on the action of a few...A few thousand that is...I saw a video earlier today, where some of these assholes were busting windows out in a store and a guy tried to stop them and calm them down...They proceeded to jump him as a mob, and beat the fuck out of him in the street...Is this the nice, safe, passive, you can leave your doors unlocked, Canada that Michael Moore went on and on about in his movie, "Bowling For Columbine"? Fuck that!

This is really got me pissed off...A couple weeks ago, my Canadian pal Hotch wrote a blog that had a section about how the Anti-Canadian sentiment was really pissing him off...I agreed...I loved the trips I have taken there, including when the Mrs. and I got hitched there...There is a lot of great things about Canada, but last night, made all of that harder for people to see...My wife and I have always talked about taking a trip too Seattle and then heading up to Vancouver...Guess what? I won't be going to that asshole city anytime soon...

Yes, I'm putting it on the whole city! I heard one asshole say that these people weren't real Canucks fans...Just hooligans wearing Canucks jerseys and shirts...REALLY? FUCKING REALLY!?! What a crock of shit!

And Vancouver, not only is your whole city being judged as being a bunch ass-hat, fucktards...But you have a lot of people feeling that way about your entire country...I know all of Canada isn't a bunch of idiot Canucks fans, because I've been there...Just as I know all of the United States isn't a bunch of idiot Cleveland/Ohio State fans...But not everyone has that same point of reference...

During the Finals I really started hating the Canucks...I always hated Luongo, but as the series went on, I started disliking the whole, trash talking, finger biting, dive taking, turtling, chicken-shit, choking team...But I never would have held that against the city...So what does the city do? They make it easy for me, and many others to hate them...Good luck washing that fuck stain off your city!

Later, The Beeze.
