 Boy this was a fortunate win. Canada had a 6-1 lead after 2, only for Austria to score 5 in the 3rd to tie it. Jonathan Tavares wins it 15 seconds into overtime to give Canada a 7-6 win. A flipping fortunate win. Should never have let up. Anyways, next game is Thursday versus Norway.

 This is the long distance team. The marathon: Malindi Elmore, Cameron Levins and Rory Linkletter. Race walk: Evan Dunfee and Olivia Lundman. The 10,000m: Mohammed Ahmed. The rest of the athletics team will be announced in late June.

 Only one surfer and that is Sanda Dempfle-Olin. She will be competing Tahiti, where the competition is. The furthest Olympic location away from a host city.  Anyways, good luck to Sanda.

 Canada is two for two as they beat Denmark 5-1. It was close for a bit. Canada plays again on Tuesday against Austria.

 Pretty close one here. Great Britain gave Canada a handful, but Canada still won 4-2 to open the tournament. They play Denmark tomorrow at 8:20am Prince Albert time.

 It's officially begun. Switzerland beat Norway 5-2, Czech Republic beat Finland 1-0 in a shootout, Germany beat Slovakia 6-4 and Sweden beat the United States 5-2. Tomorrow Canada plays Great Britain at 4am Prince Albert time.

 Here you will see Mt St Helens on May 17th, 1980 (day before eruption) and about 4 months after. Crazy eh?

 Only two here. They are Lois Betteridge and Alex Baldoni. Good luck in Paris.

 It will be the Dallas Stars vs the Colorado Avalanche in the next round as the Stars beat the Knights 2-1 in game seven. We will also have new Stanley Cup champions.  8 teams are now left.

 Boston beats Toronto 2-1 in overtime in game 7 to move onto the next round, where they will  play the Florida Panthers. Last time Toronto beat Boston in the playoffs was 1959. Boston avoids back to back seasons of blowing 3 to 1 series leads.

 This came down to a photo finish. Mystic Dan wins it beating out two other horses in photo finish. Winning time was 2:03.34. Winning jockey was Brian Hernandez Jr and winning trainer was Kenneth G McPeek. The Preakness stakes is in two weeks from today.

 The Vancouver Canucks just eliminated the Nashville Predators 1-0 in game six and will face the Edmonton Oilers in the next round. The winning goal was with 1:39 left in the 3rd.

 The Edmonton Oilers is into the second round after eliminating the Los Angeles Kings in game 5 tonight. They await the winner of the Vancouver vs Nashville series.
