I think this Don quick analysis may have given Quick a stroke. Either that, or it's 8 paragraphs of caps which will give me a stroke.

He's getting Don Cherry to read it live on Coach's Corner on Saturday night. He can't post it here until after that.

I went to Cowboys Casino in Calgary to watch the game, the place was jammed before 4:45 am (which was when I showed up) :

We managed to get a spot on the 2nd level:

I made my way down for the Medal Ceremony :

I can't believe how many people were up at that time, and drinking from the night before. I've been sober for over 75 days, still had a great time.

YOU KNOW WHAT I HATE 'BOUT SWEDEN? IKEA. I LIKE MY FURNITURE CANADIAN, EH. WHAT'S WITH 'EM AN' JUNKY-LOOKIN' FURNITURE? AN' WHAT'S EVEN WORSE IS THEIR INSTRUCTIONS. WHY CAN'T THEY DRAW A REAL CANADIAN ASSEMBLIN' REAL FURNITURE? INSTEAD THEY GOT THAT HAPPY-LOOKIN' DUM-DUM ASSEMBLIN' BLOCKS INSTEAD. YOU KNOW, MY DAD ASSEMBLED FURNITURE ONCE. HE AIN'T LOOKED LIKE A DUM-DUM LIKE THAT IKEA GUY DOES WITH THE BLOCKS AN' WHAT HAVE YOU.

YOU KNOW, I'LL BET YOU THAT'S HOW THOSE SWEDES OPERATE, EH. "LOOK AT ME, I'M A SWEDE AN' I'LL ASSEMBLE YOU A SHODDY-LOOKIN' CHAIR 'CAUSE I AIN'T A REAL CANADIAN," EH. PROBABLY HOW THEY ASSEMBLED THEIR HOCKEY TEAM. FUNNY-LOOKIN' GUY TAKIN' THESE SHODDY-LOOKIN' PLAYERS, AN' PUTTIN' 'EM TOGETHER, PROBABLY WITH IKEA-ASSEMBLED EQUIPMENT. "PUT A1 TO A2 AN' THAT'S YOUR SKATES," EH.

AN' JUST LIKE SHODDY-LOOKIN' FURNITURE IN IKEA, THEY COLLAPSED IN THE GOLD MEDAL GAME, EH. AN' THEY LOST THAT CHEATIN' BACKSTROM 'CAUSE THE IOC CAUGHT HIM TAKIN' SUBSTANCES, EH. "ALLERGY MEDICATION"?

NOW, LET ME TELL YOU KIDS A STORY: I WAS IN THE BATHROOM WASHIN' MY HANDS, WHEN I SAW A BUNCH OF SWEDES WALK IN THE BATHROOM. THEY GOT DOORS WITH 'EM, PUT 'EM ON THEIR STALLS, AN' LEFT THOSE DOORS OPEN 'CAUSE THEY'RE EMBARRASSIN' LIKE THAT. YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DID IN THE STALL? THEY TOOK A DUMP AN' STARTED ASSEMBLIN' 'EM.

Toews has to finally wear the C in South Korea. Dude as been Canada's best forward in 2 straight Olympics now, and actually walks the captain walk, unlike Sid, who is so charismatic, quiet and fucking awkward.

You sure about that? To me Toews was kinda invisible for most of the games offensively but Crosby had been creating chances pretty much the whole tourney despite the lack of points.

FTR I would have picked Toews as captain too, to me he is more respected around the league. Crosby gets his fair share of accusations but I've never heard anyone say anything negative about Toews and my team (Nucks) had 3 really tough playoff series against the Hawks.

Toews was winning draws and playing D. A big reason why Kessel and other threats got neutralized

Toews was shutting down top lines all tournament. Plus roles hardly matter when naming a Captain. Toews is a respected leader. Doubt you could say the same for Crosby in that room.

Toews had the most difficult role of all forwards, that of playing centre against the top lines of all the other nations. It might not have the sexiness of a Crosby role, one that is 100% about generating offense, but Toews had the responsibility of being the shutdown guy, and he performed it flawlessly.

Yep, to me has was our best forward in Vancouver (unexpectedly) and again in Sochi (not even remotely unexpectedly this time). Hockey Canada really does Toews a disservice by always making Sid the poster boy/centrepiece of everything.

When I had a chance to get an Olympic jersey, there was only one name I wanted on the back of it: Toews.

Sigh...dude will probably be in Chicago forever now.

Oh he definitely will never play anywhere but Chicago. Career Hawk, jersey retired, HOFer, the works. And the Hawks could win another Cup or two STILL during the Toews/Kane/Sharp/Hossa era.
