Well here we are just wrapping up day 2 in Vancouver and all the hype spewed out by CTV and TSN about our best Canadian chances for gold medals have come and gone on day 1 with a choke and a silver.... own the podium...we have been hearing......honestly I hope that during the remaining days Canadian athletes do own the podium........whether we believe in a jinx or not.... having TSN and CTV pinning all the medal hopes on these already stressed athletes is just not something that should be done...........as we hear........."coming up next Canada's first guaranteed gold medal winner"........ add more pressure......add a jinx.........and what happens........nothing............so the women's hockey will win a medal.... it won't be gold..........men's hockey is a team to beat.......and they will win a medal......it won't be gold.
Canada will listen to the experts stating that "he should be overjoyed by that 15th place finish as he wasn't expected to finish that high" That's an amazing performance by the young Canadian.....just 17 spots away from the bronze.......Canada as it has always done thrives on the mediocre....and accepts it............it's not acceptable.....it's not owning the podium...........Canada owns the gold medal of mediocre.
