For anything and everything NON Hockey related

Hey all,

Mosky suggested this so here it is. This is your place to start topics on anything you want that isn't related to Hockey.

I guess I'll start things off. Anyone watching the Olympics? I'm starting to wonder if Canada will come away with ANY medals this summer.

From the looks of things, I'd say it looks pretty bleak!

I won't lose any sleep if Canada doesn't win any medals. Haven't been paying too much attention really. People are screaming and crying that the government has to put more funding into amature sport in Canada. But realistically, people will get over it a couple of weeks after the Olympics are over, and the issue won't be brought up again for another 2 to 4 years.

I'll care a lot more in 2010, though, for obvious reasons.

Well, this one is actually hockey-related, but it certainly qualifies as random thoughts. A Habs fan's predictions for the up-coming season. Almost as funny as the episode of The Office I just watched:

Admins, not sure how kosher it is to post links to another site, but this was just too darn funny.

I don't know how the other 3 GM Central Admin feel about the links but I personally have NO problem with them as long as it doesn't reek havoc with the forum in terms of the layout going wonky
