Vancouver 2010: Day 6

Yesterday was a great day for Canadians as Maelle Ricker finally put the demons of Turin to rest winning another gold medal for Canada. Later, the men’s hockey team took the ice and after some first period jitters they put the boots to Norway.

Many thanks to Richard over at Canucks Hockey Blog for the party at the Molson Brewery. The streets of Vancouver were in party mode all night and with only 4 hours of sleep I leave for work. Is anyone else finding it really hard to concentrate on work these days? Here is what’s going today:
