Caution: Deeps squats on something oblong and unwieldy can cause a spill.

From Channel 9 in Australia today:

Ligue nationale de hockey pour 2014, Monsieur Bettman?

With the Canada v. USA hockey rematch likely be the signature moment for The Vancouver Games, Team Canada and its fans plan on doing whatever it takes to grin win.

I’d have left Don Cherry in the booth, but that’s me.

19-year-old Elene Gedevanishvili is a Georgian Olympic Figure skater who you might classify as a “field” bet in Vancouver. Thank goodness figure skating has always been more aesthetic than aftereffect.
