Image Avalanche #15 by Cal From The Cave of Cool

As the spring approaches and we begin the thawing out process of another cold winter we need something to jump start the process. What better than another fire hot set of photos from my main man Cal over at the Cave of Cool. My Canuck brother from Canada has an even deeper chill to try and kick, and he starts off with some hot stuff today. This set is very pro-Canada and I gotta love him for it. Make sure you guys leave some comments and get over to his own site to see some blogging greatness at work. Click after the jump for today's collection...

The Scariest Thing Ever Shown On Canadian TV by Cal From The Cave of Cool

When I was a kid we watched a lot of programs like Hockey on the CBC. In between programs the network had access to the vast archives of short films found at the National Film Board (NFB).  They replaced the commercials that the CBC didn't need to run the network. Ask any Canadian if they remember this short film and most all of them will have some horrific memory attatched. It's a freakshow and my Monday contribution to Halloween week. It don't get scarier up here than this for me. Click after the jump to see the video...

Fuck Canada Pt. 2: You Can Pay For School, But You Can't Buy Class

Last week we ran a story about the USA Mens Hockey team winning it's first game against Canada in 50 years. It was in a non-medal prelimenary game, but when you upset the best team in the Olympics you deserve some credit. Today the USA plays Finland & Canada plays Slovakia in the semi-final games, setting up a possible gold medal game rematch if the USA and Canada can win this weekend. But last night, Canada gave us just another reason to hate our little sibilings from The Great White North. It happened on the ice, but it was the womens hockey teams from Canada that has everybody here in the USA mad as hell.

Last night was the gold medal game between USA and Canada, and it was a defense struggle. After two first period goals from 18 year old wunderkind Marie Philip Poulin, both the USA and Canada tightened up defensively and  the game finish with that same score, 2-0 in favor of Canada. The Canadians accepted their gold medals graciously. Then they left the ice to celebrate in their locker room. About 30 minutes later they were asked to return to the ice for photos... and thats where the bad behavior started.

The Canadian women returned to the ice wearing their gold medals around their necks, but they were also carrying booze and tobacco. Yup, on the ice... at the Fucking Olympics. This is not some celebratory champagne done all classy to toast the team. They were swigging Molson outta cans, pounding magnums of champagne like a Lil Wayne video, and puffing on cigars while acting crazy... sliding all over the ice and being rediculous.

 Now, I'm all for celebration... but COME ON!!! This is the Olympics for fucks sake. Swigging beer on the ice wearing your gold medal??? Thats just trashy. The worst part about the whole thing is that they were supposed to win. Granted, the USA is a quality opponent and the rest of the Women's Hockey field sucked. But Canada was the overwhelming favorite going in to the Olympics. Then you have Team Canada's star, Poulin, who is only 18.

While the legal drinking age in her hometown of Alberta is 18, in Vancouver it is 19. So you have trashy canadian ice hockey players doing their best fat-guy-at-a-poker-game imitations, sucking down cans of beer and puffing cigars... and they are doing it with a underage player. Great job.... so much for Olympic pride and sportsmanship. Now I really hope the USA gets to play Canada in the Men's Gold Medal Final this weekend, and I hope they kick their ass again. Canada may have invented the sport of hockey, but they need a few lessons on etiquette after victory. Lets go USA!!!! Kick those Cannucks right in the sack.... Get that gold medal!!!

Hahahaha... Fuck You Canada!

Fuck You Canada... Long live the USA. For the first time in 50 years the USA beat Canada in an Olympic hockey match. Even though there was no medals being awarded and the two teams will probably have to play each other again at some point, it is good to finally get over the hump and smack these cannucks up on the ice. The USA and Canadian teams are the only two teams in the Olympics that feature all NHL players on their rosters, and Canada has NHL golden child Sydney "Syd the Kid" Crosby on their roster. We will check back on this rivalry some time in the next week when they run it back, this time with medal ramifications. And on a final note, Canada may not be good for much, but they did give us this photo below, and that is good enough for me. Maybe Canada isn't so bad... If all the chicks look like these two, I'd bet more then a few Americans would make their way to the Great White North...lol!
