Women's Hockey (XXth Olympic Winter Games (2006))

Olympics Forum

At this moment it is period 3 of the fight for gold between Sweden and Canada.

Having recently found out my natural father, even though he was a prick, was a full blooded Swede...

I cannot help but speak from the Viking in me:

Go Sweden!!! Kick Canada's ass!!!

Down 4-1 currently, and having watched the Miracle movie about the USA men's team over and over during training.....I hope they comeback soon!

But even so, silver is good too.

Sweden wins silver!

Canada? Who cares.

They just played the Oh Canada anthem.

I am protesting by playing my "Svenska Klassiska Favoriter" CD and also saying a prayer in Swedish as I was forced to do every night at bed time....
really not a prayer IMO...

translated. "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep."
translated. "Now, I am going to go to sleep and I will die in my sleep, but the Lord will keep it.

No, I guess I won't utter those Swedish words...
but I am now playing "Svenskt Festspel" by August Soderman as a tribute to the fine playing of the Swedish Women's Hockey Team!!!!
