The Canadian womens hockey team is slaughtering the Italian team at the moment.
9-0 after two periods of play.

And it's 13-0 now.
Some early predictions were that the score could end up being 15 or 20 for Canada. But there were reports that the Canadians should be careful because it's embarassing and rude to do that to the host country. But this is a game/sport where the differential (goals for and against) is important later on, so what can you do? They have to play their best.

16-0 for Canada. They steam rolled over the Italians. Canada had 66 shots on goal whislt Italy had 5. Man, Italy was locked into a defensive game since that first goal.

Crazy!!
I don't think anyone is surprised. The only reason they had a women's hockey team playing is because they're the host country.

After 2 minutes Italy had 2 goals against them and an injury. It was over before it started.

I'd hate to be the italian team, you'd feel so embarassed. Especially going up against the previous goldmedal team.

It's probably bad that I don't even know what moguls are, isn't it? I thought they were something from Harry Potter?

Moguls:

It's a freestyle skiing event where there are man-made "bumps" all throughout the run. It's tough on the knees! Scores are determined partly by how long it takes you do get down the hill, and partly by judges (the top part of your body should stay still while your lower body absorbes the impact, knees should stay tight together throughout the run, etc)

I like watching the moguls above anything else.

It's fun to watch, espcially with the jumps they do.
This is a pic of one of Heil's jumps:
