Good luck, man. I hope you manage to nab some.
Thanks brother.

It didn't go as well as I would have liked -The only Canadian game being offered today - not a great one @Canada Vs Switz, but I would have loved to go. Didn't happen... those puppies went quick.

I also didn't get any quarter/semi finals, or medal games - although not much was being offered.

So I went for rivalries. I pulled the top dollar tickets for Sweden V. Finland, and Mid dollar tickets for Czechs V. Slovaks and Russia V. Latvia.

Really looking forward to some intense hockey in those first two matchups... for obvious reasons. So I got 2 tickets to 3 different games, and I get to see 6 different teams. I'm moderately happy, I guess. All in all, cost me just under $700.

I will pay just about anything to get into some of the big medal games if Canada is involved. It will be next to impossible, but I'm going to keep my eyes and ears WIDE OPEN...haha.

One of my co-workers pulled both medal games for women's hockey (which is cool, cause she'll very likely get to see us win a medal)... all in all, she bought 42 tickets to a ton of different events, medal ceremonies, etc... spent over 3 grand.

wow, i didn't know the winter games are in vancouver. i actually heard that its the wealthiest city on the north american continent which makes me want to visit it even more
You should definitely visit Vancouver, Dru - it's a pretty spectacular place to live. So close to the mountains, and Ocean... and tons of cool urban design. Developers here have really made a huge effort to incorporate as much of the natural environment in to their plans as possible... it really is a beautiful city.

Plus, there are seasons where you can Golf and snowboard in the same day, if that's your thing! Play basketball, soccer, etc. basically all year round... as long as your cool with a bit of rain... :)

If you come, hit it up in the summer. The weather is just ridiculously nice... I think our summer's definitely rival some of the best weather in N.A - especially if you don't like extreme heat. Basically no bugs at all, hardly any rain, and it doesn't get over the top hot... Mid 80's ish, with tons of sun and perfectly clear skies... a little bit humid though.

He was a fucking master with the ball. One of my favorite players from Serie A back in the day, wish we got him even though he's a dick. The guy is one of the best midfield players I've ever seen.
