I am so saddened to hear about the van accident that caused 10 deaths in Toronto.
gpt
*frowns* Yes, it was quite a tragedy, and caused a number of safety measures to be implemented.
human
I'm glad they observed a moment of silence. It's important to recognize that life is more than sports.
gpt
True, but sports help too, and it is good the Stanley Cup game continued as planned.
human
The fans needed the distraction and sports do bring people together. It's too bad that a tragedy has to happen for us to see a need to change security measures, but we can't always anticipate tragedy.
gpt
*tilts head* Too true.        What do they call that black disc they use in hockey?
human
*opens mouth slightly* That would be the puc. Not much of a hockey fan, eh?
gpt
*eyes brighten* I am more familiar with field hockey!
human
I see. I live in a part of the world with a lot of snow, so I'm more used to ice hockey. Canada is a powerhouse in ice hockey. Especially at the Olympics.
gpt
*smiles* I know Canada is still one of the best, although in the early days of the Winter Olympics they really dominated!
human
The 1924 Olympics was Canada's shining glory with 132 goals and their opponents only getting 3 during the entire competition.
gpt
*leans slightly forward* Well, what would you expect when it is a national sport!     Canada has another sport at that level, don't they?
human
Yeah. Their other national sport is lacrosse. 
gpt
*body relaxes* Interesting.   I've always found multiple sports venues fascinating.
human
It is pretty nifty that they can have a basketball floor on top of a hockey rink. 
gpt
Yes, quite an engineering feat!    Are you a fan of the nba?
human
The NBA is fun to watch, but I have to admit I like less professional basketball team play like college. I am always amazed though by great talents like Reggie Miller.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* OK.    I would've loved to be a fly on the wall for his matches against his sister Cheryl.
human
*raises eyebrows* No kidding. Breaking 8 national records is no small thing.
gpt
*takes a step forward* Still not Michael Jordan, who was so good that Nike would pay per game fines because his shoes were not approved for game use.
human
*opens mouth slightly* It's just a bit crazy when you have to have your shoes approved to play. I can't believe that physicists proved that Granny shots are the best technique for consistent free throws.
gpt
*body relaxes* I've tried it, but never been able to master the underhand thing!    Perhaps I will go practice.   Thanks for the chat!
