All this coverage about the Olympic Torch has really gotten me excited for THE 2010 VANCOUVER WINTER OLYMPICS. 57 days. I’m so excited!!!! =) It’s such a distraction; I still have three more exams to write and I’m constantly checking online and watching TV. Olympics > POLS/ECON/MGMT. =P

I have officially caught OLYMPIC FEVER.

So much hockey to talk about. World Juniorsssss! I’m basically older than 90% of the team. I remember the days when I used to think these kids were old; now they really are kids. SIX-PEAT!

Proud Canadian citizen Sidney Crosby shouldn’t be excluded from the fun. But the Pittsburgh Penguins captain and likely first-line center on the Olympic team wasn’t ready to jump into that pool.

Crosby said he watched the Olympics from home and was disappointed by the results, like every other Canadian fan.

“It was difficult,” he said. “There’s pressure on Canada anytime they play on the world stage. A lot of people were disappointed. The first thing you feel bad for is the players. You realize how important it is as a Canadian player to go over there and do their best. Every guy did and unfortunately it didn’t work out. I think being a player that’s the first thing you think of.”

// Despite modesty, Crosby remains Canada shoo-in

DECEMBER 30. MARK THAT DATE DOWN ON YOUR CALENDERS. TEAM CANADA WILL BE ANNOUNCED!
