There is a local interest .. Kristan Bromley is originally from Cowpe in Rossendale and went to BRGS ... hes going in the skeleton bob ... the one where they go down head first on what looks like a tin tray .... 
Something for Eric ..our canadian friend ...
Then, its time to strap yourselves in/hide behind the sofa as the potentially explosive men's ice hockey final begins at 1215 local time (2015 GMT). All of Canada will be closed at this point of the home side are involved. A day of mourning will have been held if they are not.
(I think the final will be America and Russia!!! but we'll see) |
Canada will shut down at 7:30 pm EST as Canada and the US take to the ice .... it will be a barn burner of a game ... America and Russia? I don't be thinking so .... of the top 10 point getters in the NHL, 6 are Canadian .... But tonight's game will be great .... blood on the ice
(And that doesn't mean there will be a demonstration of baby seal bashing at the end of the first period) .... It's our game, played on our ice; and I'm hoping that both the men and the women win gold.
