What a better way to open this thread: 1-2 Gold-Silver for Dufour-Lapointe sisters in slopes!

And they are montrealers! What a great moment.

 

[Habs_Apostle]

Gold and Silver! Amazing for their family! Fantastic for Canada!

 

[TomPlex]

Fantastic screw up by the American. That lost her the gold.

 

[Blackshad]

YAYAYAYA!! epic!!

 

[Habsawce]

That was unreal to witness, so happy for them! I was literally talking to the TV saying "CHOKE CHOKE CHOKE" when the American was going down the hill haha

 

[Clumsyhab]

They look good!

 

[Shaby23]

What's Canada? I only know about Quebec!

 

[Clumsyhab]

Hopefully Kingsbury-Bilodeau will give us another Gold-Silver!

 

[deandebean]

Wow, imagine this:there's a third one coming up in the ranks. They are the equivalent of the Laroche family, even better.

It was very difficult to catch Justine, she scored a high score. She definitely lost herself the silver though. And she got the bronze on reputation, there's no way she did better than the japanese.

Proud of the girls.

 

[Beatnik]

Amazing moment

 

[Habsawce]

What's Canada? I only know about Quebec!

Rene Levesque is that you?

 

[Price My Man Crush]

Rene Levesque is that you?

What? You don't know Parizeau?

 

[HomaridII]

Justine's face when she realized she had own gold was awesome.

 

[Stanley Cup]

Their mom saying : "C'est fini là, c'est fini!!"

 

[Aspirine]

Hot. Cool. Yours.
Why is no one talking about this?!

 

[Habsawce]

Figure Skating is hard to watch

 

[deandebean]

The SRC studio commentator has a toupee? Not cool. Either that or he's due for a solid hair job.

 

[Phil Parent]

Quebec Air Force delivers!

I thought we couldn't have individual Sochi topics on the team boards, otherwise I would have opened one Thursday for those very first qualifying sessions...

Anyway, the sisters won but... injustice I feel for Bronze... Kearney almost fell and still beat the Japanese out of bronze, and Aiko Uemura is 34 years old and had never won an olympic medal... I know nothing about this sport, but I feel the Japanese should have won bronze.

ALSO, need to point out, the goalie of the Switzerland Women's Hockey team has beautiful eyes and kept her smile throughout 69 shots...and saved 64 of them as Canada beat Switzerland 5-0 this morning. Ms. Schiller, you are a goalie after my own heart. Let me score on you!

(I can't score on you... in any way :-( )

No. Maxime who finished 12th is the oldest at 24 and she nearly didn't make it. Justine who won gold is 19 and Chloe who won silver is 22. But still, they'll all be there again in 4 years.

Yeah my bad. Just heard the reporter say it.
