    (well, snow actually)

    Can you believe it? We didn't get a gold in the Montreal or Calgary Olympics !

    But now we have one ... hopefully the first of many.

    Awesome performance! The bond with his brother is so inspirational - it was beautiful to see! Go Canada!

    Watching his brother was amazing - definitely Alex's biggest fan.

    If anyone is wondering why Alex uses the now politically incorrect English word "handicapped" it is because in French they still use the word "handicappè" and he is making a direct translation for the word

    My daughter [so proud of her] works with Austistic younger children both in the Vancouver school board and privately and this reminded me of her.

    As a hockey fan there is one gold medal that is near an dear to my heart. I am looking for some redemption from Turin in 2006.

    And I want to beat the Russians doing it....otherwise it just won't be the same.

    It's hard to be an American and root for Canada... Thats who I want to see in the Gold medal game.

    Btw, I know this is a cold war hangover, but seeing Russia lose at anything never gets old.... The Ovechkin Ovechkins are going to rock their way to 4th place, Bronze if they're lucky.

    One commentator said his name was called the "Ice Man" Watching his face I could understand why. I also saw an interview of him. Man what a snot-nosed little brat. He said he was there for the interview because he was told to show up. He was belligerent and rude and clearly wanted nothing to do with the press.

    Then I sawe him on the podium - the epitome of poor loser
