Canada: 3. Sweden: 0.
Dear Men:
You’ll read the papers later today. They’ll say:
- Undefeated and decisive. (Toronto Global & Mail)
- Smothering (National Post)
- Dominating. (NY Times)
- Relentless. (Chicago Tribune)
- Four lines deep that just kept coming. (Toronto Star)
We watched you lock arms and sing O Canada. We sang along teary eyed. Our bodies tingled as we watched our Maple Leaf raised.
From all Canadians and ex-pats, Bravo Men.
Gold. Canada Gold.

Even I hummed “Oh Canada”…
Awwwwwww, you know the way to my heart.
Well, yes that’s true – but remember that our youngest is a McGill grad, a current resident of Toronto, with a wonderful Canadian girlfriend. So in the interest of full disclosure, I have some divided loyalties..
I didn’t remember that (and I’m wondering how I could have forgot that or maybe if you even told me….let’s just say a senior moment for me.) Wow. You have some hard wiring to Canada. No wonder you are so cool.
Smiling proudly..I feel much cooler having the Canada connection down.
Laughing.

The world is set properly on its access once more…. 😉 Congrats, pal….
I’m am 99.9% certain your auto-spell check fed “access” instead of “axes”.
Yes, the world is now rotating on the proper axes!
Oh damn, that auto correct. Actually, it was supposed to be axis…. Grrrrr….
Laughing. So we had a debate at home. Is it “Axis” or “Axes”?
Axis: 1 a : a straight line about which a body or a geometric figure rotates or may be supposed to rotate
b : a straight line with respect to which a body or figure is symmetrical —called also axis of symmetry
Whoa there! We all presumed that you meant rotating on 2 axes (plural of axis). Don’t be twisting the story around because Susan said exactly what you did.
They played a great game!
They did!
I didn’t get to see the celebrations on TV – they cut away after the game here (France). I did end up singing O Canada a few minutes later while on my way to the gym as there was reference to it in podcast I was listening to. The reference was unrelated to the game though I sang it in response to the win. 🙂
Awww, too bad. The 3-0 score understated the Canadian’s domination in this game. Swedes came out looking very good but the 2nd goal was a back breaker. And the Swedes were short 3 of their stars to injury or suspension and that hurt.
We must strive to be good winners–that said–Yay Canada!
Spoken like a humble Canuck!
