  1. Meh, that sounds like a lame excuse. How hard is it for people to just not be ignorant fucking assholes.
  2. How about this venue - they've built a state of the art hockey stadium with artificial turf next to what appears to be a crumbling shanty town. Priorities....
  3. Thank you! I figured that, it looked like it kept hitting their leg or something
  4. Am I naive for thinking it would just be ice hockey rules on grass?
  5. Man, I thought field hockey was easy to understand. After watching it, it may be the most complicated sport. There seems to be a foul called every five seconds, and they keep re-taking penalty shots. I don't get it
  6. Barring a miracle, Canada has qualified for their first Olympic Games since 2004!
  7. Yeah totally. I meant I'd rather be a generalist in the Olympics. It makes it more exciting. For the Pan Ams, yeah, I'd prefer to do better.
  8. I would rather have it this way, tbh
  9. PSA: Canada is losing to fucking Mexico in water polo right now in the 3rd quarter. If we lose this, we're officially out of Olympic qualification
  10. The glass used for squash is thick plexiglass, I believe. It's clear that in this instance, it was a thin layer of glass that you'd find on the entrance of most squash or racquetball courts.
  11. Does anyone know of a stream for the team final?
  12. It's my understanding that baseball is the "de facto" national sport of the US. In fact, very few countries actually have a legislated national sport.
  13. Yes, of course I think they acknowledge that, and it's the reason why we have seen full NBA participation at past Olympic qualification tournaments (FIBA AmeriCup). I don't think the prospect of qualification is lost on any of them. Keep in mind, all of our best players are trying out for the team. The only absences are justified thus far. Wiggins NBA career has gotten off to a lackluster start, and I'm sure he wants to spend September focusing on the upcoming season. For Thompson, he had an injury-plagued season this year, and likely wants to focus on rehab so that he is in peak shape come the start of the NBA season. I do understand and appreciate their decisions. Also keep in mind that Canada has gone out and gotten this year's NBA Champion head coach to lead the team - I wholeheartedly believe that Basketball Canada is taking the Olympic ramifications of this event very seriously.
  14. Question for the experts: is the judging in the Pan Am Games as corrupt as it is in international competitions, when the Russians are involved? International competitions always seem to have the same 3 medalists predetermined before the competition begins.
  15. Aren't Canada in first place after the technical routine?
  16. Is there going to be a stream for the modern pentathlon?
  17. We only won 6. I don't know why Wikipedia says 7 EDIT: disregard, Masse makes it 7
