Sochi 2014: What to watch, Day 9 (February 16)
The photo (above) taken during Canada's game against Austria, on Friday, is interesting for a number of reasons. One of which is that there appears to be a direct descendant of Rasputin sitting to the right of the cheerleader. Or, it might just be Cat Stevens. And, is that a Sutter right behind him?
Great ghost of Glasnost, that was a heck of a hockey game between the United States and Russia. That shoot-out couldn't have been any better if it had Vin Diesel rolling across the ice letting loose with a semi-automatic. Memo to the International Olympic Committee: When these two meet again, please, please, please ensure Vladimir Putin and Brian Burke have seats right next to each other.
Here's the Olympic action that highlights Day 9 (February 16), with a synopsis of tonight's episode of "Sochi Seinfeld" at the bottom of the page:
Ramping up a little bit here, aren't we? First the Norwegians, then the Austrians. Now, the Finns. Canada's men's hockey team gets off the bunny hill and heads to an intermediate run. This is Canada's toughest test so far (other than figuring out how to possibly look good in those jerseys). Winner gets to skip a game in the upcoming elimination round, although it wouldn't be a disaster to play an extra game in a tournament like this. Would allow for a little more cohesion to build in. I mean when it comes to Don Cherry's choice of suit/wacky hat combos. 12pm ET, on CBC.
Time for a little two-man bobsleigh. Finally. Let the Daft Punk jokes begin! Former CFL running back Jesse Lumsden is part of a Canadian duo (along with Lyndon Rush) who are the current World Cup overall champs. An ex-running back whose partner is named Rush? Come on. There's gold medal magic in that, got to be. 11:15 am ET, on Sportsnet.
My, what a roll Jennifer Jones and the Canadian women's curling team have been on. A perfect record of 7 and oh so far and Jones has been red hot all week. Have a look at the concentration written on her face when she slides out to make a shot. Couldn't be more intense if the part of Jennifer Jones was being played by Daniel Day-Lewis. Canada vs the United States, 5:15 am ET, on CBC.
One of my favourite, favourite events in the Olympics is snowboard cross. Four snowboarders on course at the same time, going hell-bent for leather? Giddyup. It's an adrenaline jolt, fantastic to watch. Honestly, if Michael Vick had discovered the rush of this event years ago, he'd have stayed out of jail. Canada's Maelle Ricker is the defending Olympic champ and reigning world champion. She's in this event despite breaking a wrist and undergoing surgery three weeks ago. Are you serious?! Elbows up, girls. Let's go. 4:15 am ET, on CBC.
Erik Guay, Jan Hudec and Manny Osbourne Paradis attack the course for Canada in the men's Super G alpine skiing event. Hope Hudec hasn't spent too much time looking for jeans that fit his, ahem, 'moguls.' That'd cut into training time. 2 am ET, on TSN.
Now is the time at the Olympics when we ice dance! Canada's reigning Olympic champions, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, look to dazzle again. Since it's the short program, I'm hoping they skate to the theme from "Republic Of Doyle." Too short? Alrighty then, toss in "Snowbird" and give 'er. 10am ET, on TSN.
Tonight on Sochi Seinfeld, on 3CP1 (taken directly from the Russian TV Guide):
"Elaine runs afoul of the 'Borscht Nazi.' George's father creates black market Norwegian curling team pants. Kramer invites the girls from 'Pussy Riot' to use his apartment as rehearsal space."
