Do you believe in parties? … YES!

I don’t care much at all about women’s ice hockey.  But, if I knew when the USA women were playing the Canadians for the gold yesterday, I might have tuned in for the final 20 minutes of action.  But I didn’t know, and eventually saw the Canadian women singing “Oh, Canada” during their gold medal realization after defeating the women of USA 2-0.  A silver medal for the USA women, I’m sure, was not their goal.  Oh well.

So Canada brought the gold home for women’s hockey … who cares right?  Nobody.  Unless you know how these girls like to party.  After Canada’s big win, the lady Canadians lingered on the ice for quite awhile –drinking beer, smoking stogies, and swigging champagne.  Yes, all on Olympic ice!  This sight is normal for a team that just won Lord Stanley’s Cup, but for a women’s ice hockey team (with teenagers) in the Olympics?!  Not so much.

Wait, here’s the catch … the IOC is gonna investigate the partying.  Apparently, the girls should have kept the golden fiesta back in the locker room.  But more importantly, you really need to be of age to drink in the first place (one of the girls is 18, BC’s legal age is 19).  Wow!  Marie-Philip Poulin is the hockey player in question.  Now just imagine the STREET CRED this chick would have by receiving a gold medal and getting arrested for underage drinking … all in the same week!  If I’m a night club owner in Canada, I’m calling this girl up to lock-in weekly appearances … just to party.  Who wouldn’t wanna party with an Olympic gold medalist? You remember all that partying Michael Phelps did, right? … and got paid big coin as well to do so (lucky ass dude, yeah- I’m envious).

These girls became instantly cool.

I’m now wondering if these girls attempted to sneak a keg of Molson Canadian back into the Olympic village.  Or, do the other athletes in the village now wander over to these girls and ask “Hey, ya know where the party is at?”.  Hell, I’d buy a beer for one of these girls … after I check some ID of course.

Yeah, most likely we won’t care about them again until 4 years from now when the games are in Russia.  That’s when NBC highlights this story to get more people to watch in 2014.  In my mind, this is one of the coolest stories of these Winter Olympics.  The story– “girls just wanna have fun” (yeah, that was sappy, get over it)(and how much of the video did you watch before you hit stop?).  Also, you know we’re gonna hear some story about how one of these girls got piss drunk and hooked up with a bobsledder from Slovakia and now she’s expecting his bastard child (get ready Mary Hart for this breakout story!).

On a side note … if USA’s men beat Canada for the gold (after beating Finland today first), well, they really need to upstage the party of them Canadian women with some good old American liquor.  Like each player with a 2 liter bottle of Mr. Daniels and a case of Sam Adams bombers for the coaching staff.  Let’s do this thing right USA!  If we win of course.
