Hockey is not so much a sport as a religion in our house.
As for curling not seen often on TV, you clearly are not a Canuck. Move to Canada and you'll get your fill of curling.
I love Olympics of any kind - even the sort where I don't understand most of the sports! Ice hockey... yeah. Violent baby. Rugby on ice. I admit I kinda like to see the players (not just the padding). If one is going to ogle something, one needs the proper access to the relevent information. Just sayin...

I'm in a hotel room right now in New Mexico watching the Olympic opening ceremony. AWESOME!!!
Congrats to Canada, our dear, dear friends and the best of neighbors, on a fantastic show.
Yes, I'm just off to bed as it's past midnight...
Great opening ceremony (despite the tiny glitch at the end) but very sad news about the luge athlete. His poor parents.
BB, my son has played both rugby and hockey and I'll take hockey any day because at least he's got padding on to protect him!
Next to Muderball (wheelchair rugby) Ice Hockey is my next fav Olympic sport.
To watch, NOT to participate!
Loved the opening ceremony :)
Did you see the doc on Murderball? Holy COW those guys are out for blood!
