They mentioned something about the turns. When you are in the inner lane you don't have to turn as wide coming around the corner.

Ah, that makes sense. When you start inside you are going slower around the small corner and faster around the big corner. Thanks.

Only until, maybe, the 10th goal, then it got boring...

Then don't watch. I still enjoy it.

I'm not. Never watched a second of the Slovakia game and i'm watching the 500 M right now. ^ You say it got boring, lol. That is what I meant. It's exciting but then when Canada is up like 9-0 and outshooting the other team like 55-5 its not fun. That's all I meant. I like when Canada plays USA or Sweden as it is competitive.

I meant it got boring posting the score, since everytime you post anything about the womens hockey, someone has to chime in with their belief that it shouldn't be in the Olympics or it just flat out sucks. It gets tiring.

Oh. Well I think that it should be in the Olympics and I enjoy watching when it is Canada-USA or Canada-Sweden.
