TrueBlueGED Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Just when you thought the situation couldn't get worse, well, the USA sweaters are out: http://i.redd.it/835578zl3dvz.jpg WTF is that ?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKnowPhysics Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Also, not unrelated, an interesting read (if can call Twitter a read) on Putin's control over the KHL and why Ovechkin pushes a pro-Putin agenda: http://twitter.com/SlavaMalamud/status/884522437454561280 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 The IOC is almost as big a joke as FIFA. At least the IOC wasn't bought off by Russia. The side affect is, of course, that someone on that chair is 100% being assassinated now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Yeah but it got this one right. There appears to be a catch to this ruling. It seems that the IOC will allow Russian athletes (at least some) to compete, but not as 'Russians'. So, what happens when one of them wins gold?

It doesn't count towards any sort of Russian meddle total and the Russian anthem is not played. Yes it's on purpose.

MattPie Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 It's be cool if the athletes got to pick their own medal song if they're neutral. I'd pick the first minute or so of Musogsky's Baba Yaga if I were Russian. I might pick it anyway, because it's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunkard Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Isn't Derek Roy 35+ years old by now? 34 until May (I just looked it up) but I hear he can still crotch grab like a 20 something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 34 until May (I just looked it up) but I hear he can still crotch grab like a 20 something. I hear a lot of men get better at grabbing crotches with age. He could be PM of Canada by the time he's 60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubkev Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 I want Derek Roy to crush it in this tournament. That will keep my Derek Roy snipes fresh and valid for another decade while we wait for a sabre to score 80 points again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
