That might be true, I know our ladys were not happy with their silver in hockey. I was really disappointed when one of our gals said silver s--ked. I think most are so happy to be part of the Olympics, medals are nice but what a great accomplishment to just be able to compete. Like the guy from Nigeria (I think), the only athlete from his country. What a happy and humble guy he was just to be part of it all.

Hey, I love Canada, have been their many times and have spent many vacations, in the Canadian waters as well as Victoria, Whistler and Vancouver. I could definitely have dual citizenship, no problem.

As sad as they looked, those silver medals were pretty nice!
