Alright, so I couldn't decide whether to post this as a sports topic, or a Bitch topic, but I landed on sports so here we go:
I live in Buffalo, New York, and as some of you may (or may not) know, this year we played host to the IIHF World Junior Hockey tournament. The United States was the defending gold medalist from the previous tournament, but this year got bounced by Team Canada 5-1 in the last game before the medal round. Sucks to be American, I guess.
I'm Canadian, so I was thrilled with that. Canada had struggled in the preliminaries, and the U.S. was defending champ, so it was a big victory... yadda, yadda, yadda.
Last night was the Gold medal game, Team Canada vs. Team Russia.
Canada leads 3-0 heading into the third period.
Canada loses 5-3 after an incredibly epic choke, Russia takes the gold medal.
Fuck.
My.
Life.
I don't think I really need to write anymore, you get the point. As an amusing side note, though, Team Russia was kicked off of their flight home because they were all drunk, so they had to sleep in the airport or some garbage because they spent their entire budget already.
That doesn't make me feel better, though.
