The Canada vs Finland Women's Hockey Game Has Been Postponed Because The Ladies Be Pooping Too Much
EyesWideOpen. Getty Images.The one thing you can count on for every international hockey tournament is that a stomach bug is going to rip its way through the team hotels. At some point or another, everybody is going to get sick. There's literally never been an international hockey game played where at least one of the teams wasn't currently shitting their pants.
It's impossible not to get sick. The moment anybody picks up anything, it tears through the entire roster in the matter of days. That's just part of the game.
But things are different these days. Back in the day, you'd just play through it. Maybe that means the bathroom stalls are getting completely decimated during each intermission. No time for the coach to give any big speeches between periods, because everybody is racing their way to the locker room to unload. You look over at the benches to start each period and it looks like each team is missing at least 5 players. They are the poor souls who were stuck going last.
I guess the set up in Cortina isn't optimal for a team currently on the verge of shitting their pants at any moment, though. Apparently it's a bit of a hike to get from the locker rooms to the ice. So it's not like the ladies can just head to the locker room during the middle of the game if they need to go. The Finns would either need to find a way to hold it in (good luck with that), or they'd need to massacre their pants. I know the Zamboni driver is probably pretty pumped the IOC decided to just push the game back a week.
