Personally I've thought that so far these games have gone much better than a lot of people gave Russia credit for. CBC staffers and many Canadian athletes themselves are all saying their stay over there has been pretty great so far.


But what a crushing blow for the host nation having their so-called 'dream team' of hockey superstars go down in miserable defeat, and to the lowly FINS! I mean if it had at least been CANADA that beat them there would be some honor salvaged. But the Fins???!!! Putin must be seething.

Perhaps we'll pit our women's team against them in 2018 and see if they can do any better. :D


Seriously I've watched a lot of the games and I must say the Russian fans and locals all seem to be very hospitable, fun-loving and friendly. Every time the Russian curlers would throw a rock through the house their fans would cheer anyway, even though it was to blank an end. Funny as hell but great to see nonetheless.

Russia has been an awesome host.
