dr_st Posted February 21, 2002 Bah. He really blew it in the 4th goal. But it was some bad luck either. He was defending his head, which is very explainable. He should have ducked faster, because the puck was clearly heading high above the goal. I don't realize the jump part, though. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sharessa Posted February 21, 2002 I always figured they called it curling because the way to get in shape for it is by doing a lot of curls. :) 0 Share this post Link to post

doomsick Posted February 22, 2002 He was defending his head, which is very explainable. there's a goalie in the AHL (his name escapes me) who uses his helmet to block shots. says it doesn't hurt...but maybe, it's a case of "where there is no sense, there is no pain." 0 Share this post Link to post

dr_st Posted February 23, 2002 ( I just hope to god that we don't face teh russianz :P) Looks like your wish came true. Russians sucked against the US and lost. Bah, they been sucky for years now. The great unmatchable Soviet hockey is long gone, and it doesn't look like it's gonna be resurrected in the near future. 0 Share this post Link to post
dsm Posted February 23, 2002 Hm, I get the impression that curling was invented by a bunch of cleaning ladies. I mean, it must be a great, fun way to clean the floor :-P 0 Share this post Link to post
pritch Posted February 23, 2002 Curling started up about five centuries ago on the frozen lakes of Scotland to pass the bleary winter months. A load of other stuff was invented up there too, I think marbles was. They actually used rocks, 'stones', as it were, the poor basrads. 0 Share this post Link to post
fodders Posted February 23, 2002 They still do use rocks, the stones are made from granite, still, I think in Canada they make them from some old cannon balls 0 Share this post Link to post
