What was billed as an Olympics that nobody would watch actually ended up being pretty dern entertaining. The US took home the
most medals ever. Ice skaters did a bunch of
spins and shit. Shaun White did a bunch of
spins and shit. The
sex-crazed winter kids from around the world ended up putting on a solid show for us all.
The only downer?
That guy died before the opening day The US hockey team couldn't pull off a second epic victory against the evil red syrup-suckers of Canada. While I'm sure we all feel a little bummed about the outcome, as Deadspin
pointed out last week, things actually played out exactly as they should have. Not only was Canada the better team
and the home team, but to beat their North American rivals in overtime of the gold medal game with a goal from their best player is just about as perfect an ending as any of those hosers could have hoped for.
So in the good-natured Olympic spirit,
my girlfriend I created a tribute to Philly's foremost Canadian athlete. A man who single-handedly financially crippled an entire organization. A man who's relentless will to be mediocre has completely trumped any God-given physical gifts. A true Canadian who has bled red maple leaves since
way back in 2007. A man who loves hockey so much that at a game he
was once quoted as saying "I'm just watching the little ball, man."
I present --
Samuel Dalembert: Ice Gold!
I
still hate you, Sammy.
Many thanks to
Jocelyn C. for this beauty.
Haha, nice. But keep in mind that even if he played hockey he would have been kicked off the team.
