TV just doesn't do the sport justice.

I don't think there is another sports where "if you miss one second" matters. A wristed slap shot happens so damn quickly.

Maybe it's just me. I'll swear a couple of them were asking the same question I have been, "WTF with the stuffed animals?" It's so weird I don't want to look it up.

It's just a trinket thing (official mascot of the games) that they give at every olympics to medal winners.

I guess this goes to show much much I've watched them award the medals throughout my life. I've never noticed until the women's gold.

They love them! If you see an Asian student in the US, college or high school, they will have at least one small stuffed animal clipped to their backpack.

I thought I was just amused at seeing all the Canadians freak out over the loss. I get that though: we see it in sports all the time with fans.

I thought I was just entertained when seeing so many Canadians freak out over the news of Alabama's GDP compared to Canada's. I get that as well. Based on different entertainment genres it's easy to stereotype the state and its people.

I AM laughing at people getting upset over Kash celebrating with the team as well as being amused and entertained at the stupidity.
