Another great day here at the Olympics. Got some needed sleep last night and started the day around 9am. Got some great gifts for friends and walked around a little.
4:30pm the fun really started with the Czech vs Latvia hockey game. Fun game to watch the Latvian fans support their team even when losing early.
Czech vs Latvia final score 5-2
Game 2 of the day was my favorite game of the Olympics so far. Finland vs Germany. The fans as always came dressed in flags and wigs with faces painted. With seconds to go before the teams take the ice for the warm-ups I hear a familiar "thump" "thump" "thump" then "Rock You Like A Hurricane" as Ruutu and Pitkanen and all of team Finland took the ice the song played. This was my favorite part of the games so far, I was proudly wearing my Hurricanes jersey watching two of my favorite Fins take the ice. The game gets even better as both Ruutu and Pitkanen each net a goal in a 5-0 victory.

Off to bed at 1am have to get up at 5am for our day in Whistler with the Ski Jumpers.
