TFK Winter sports appreciation thread

12 minute intermission did he just say? Fuck’s sake.

Sidney Crosbie will have nightmares about missing that one on one for the rest of his life if Canada lose this. The Canadians will be hoping to avoid a shootout at all costs, the memory of Lillehammer in 1994 and that shootout in the final against Sweden still haunts the nation. But it will be nothing compared to a loss here.

I know, ridiculous

Not since Suwon in 2002 have I had such a feeling take control of my senses.

A moment of pure perfection. Sidney Crosbie, this is your moment.

That was class. Great sport. Beats the shit out of that padded hand-egg nonsense anyway.

In truth it hadn’t been a classic until the last ten minutes. Then it became utterly engrossing. Very appropriate that the “new Gretzky” should score the winner. Whets the appetite for the Belfast Giants’ domestic league campaign.

This picture of Canadian supporters celebrating is just in:

Condom Shortage In Vancouver

Vancouver’s Olympic Village is short on condoms and an emergency supply has been shipped to the sex-crazed colony to ensure that each and every athlete is safe from STDs throughout the rest of their stay.

This is a remarkable achievement and, according to a source close to reporters stationed in Vancouver, an Olympic first. Apparently, the 100,000 condoms provided to the Village were used up in record time. “After one week,” the source said " most of them were already gone." Impressive.

That was a quality game last night. I didnt see all of it. Any repeats on anywhere or even a download?

WTB is looking for a beat down.

eztv will have it flano. Great with for the Canucks, part of me was hoping for the shootout, but was happy to see Canada win it, they went hell for leather for it in sudden death. Some Olympics for them, astonishing medal haul.

Well my fellow wintersports loving chums, I greet you from spring skiing in the French Alps
Mt Blanc looked majestic today, A pity the skiing didnt match it
Snow is tacky and soft, sunshine is lovely but its like league football, tolerable but no substitute for the real deal.
Anyway we are close to the end of this years festival of wintersport so I thought it appropriate to remind ourselves of the fantastic season gone by, crowned by the glory that is Ms Vonn

That gut is very slender for Ms Vonns shoulders and thighs WB

A world class skier and a great model for the sport, so I’m surprised Lindsey or Lindsey’s people needed photoshopped trimming to sell her.

Don’t be so cynical Maire
I firmly believe thats what Lindsey looks like, they had a video montage of the sports illustrated photo shoot and she looked pretty much the same to my uncultured eye

I’m sorry WB but no way does Lindsey Vonn need a body double.

Thats someone elses midriff; either that or she’s had a left rib taken out and applied a stripe of sunscreen

Of course she doesn’t need a body double, she is one of the hottest women on the planet. We’re arguing here about this instead of admiring her beauty. Its like arguing over whether a Chateau lafite 2005 is better than a 2006.

Skiing was much better today. Les Grands Montets with some decent off piste.

piss off

Time to resurrect this thread
Any intentional or unintentional winter sports activity of late?

Preferably not like this gobshite

Didn’t know where to post this but looks as though there was a terrible tragedy yesterday with one of the top Russian ice hockey sides and others being killed in a plane crash

Lokomotiv Yaroslavl.

Should have stuck to the Lokomotivs instead of the planes.

This news saddened me.

RIP.
