VANCOUVER, B.C. - Team USA’s quest to claim the hockey gold medal this afternoon began 18 months ago, in Chicago. During his introductory remarks to a group of young NHL players aspiring to compete in the Olympics, general manager Brian Burke emphasized the idea was to go to Vancouver and kick some keister, instead of using the experience as a dress rehearsal for the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.

Whistler, B.C. – Like the rest of us, Olympic cross-country skier Torin Koos has his good days and his bad days. Except for Koos, who was raised in Leavenworth and lives in Wenatchee, the bad days are almost as fraught with disaster as any given 24 hours in the life of Jack Bauer.

VANCOUVER, B.C. – The most stirring effort a USA men’s hockey team had produced in 30 years was worth some cool photos and action-packed highlights. It was worth a barometer reading of how far American hockey has come since fizzling out of the past two Winter Games. Most of all, the 5-3 victory, achieved in an arena that defined the term “hostile environment,” was worth bragging rights. But it was not worth a medal.

VANCOUVER, B.C. – It turns out the seventh medal of Apolo Anton Ohno’s Olympic career had nothing to do with luck. The history Ohno made Saturday was strictly about his ability to produce something sweet from something sour.

WEST VANCOUVER, B.C. – After two nights of street dancing, car honking, flag waving, beer chugging, slogan chanting, hoola- hooping and off-key anthem warbling – after two nights produced the sense that New Year’s Eve on Times Square is placid compared to downtown Vancouver during the Olympic Games – our neighbors to the north achieved consensus Sunday night.

VANCOUVER, B.C. – After 1,500 meters, Apolo Anton Ohno and J.R. Celski crossed the finish line almost simultaneously Saturday night.
