This feels like a gold medal game
Still 0:0
Shots on net are 7:6 (USA:Can) at this point, but the better chances have been from USA.

Lots of time left.

(39,393 posts)My man (huge Ranger fan here). I was looking at a bit of a conflict if the US won today. Kind of relieved that I can go all-in for Henrik.

(32,100 posts)I'm a Blackhawks fan. I really wanted to see Pat Kane get a gold medal, otherwise I wouldn't care how it turned out. I am a bit torn for the gold medal round. Three Hawks on both teams. But, I would rather see Crosby NOT get another gold than see Sharpie, Toews, and Keith get them. (Sorry guys.) It would also be great to see a European team win this time around.

(39,393 posts)Plus, for me, Lundqvist is a great player who keeps missing out on the Cup, so I want to see him triumph. Guy just signed a 50 or 60 some-odd million dollar extension and I worry about his happiness. How's that for fan-dumb? But it also shows how easy he is to root for.

The NSA is worthless...They hoover up every single scrap of information *except* the shit that actually has real value...
From what I understand, he's back up in Toronto right now. We can just refuse to let him back in here. I kind of wish we would, anyway. But, he still has to go to court regarding his little Miami stunts. In lieu of jail time, maybe the judge can tell him to go home and never come back.

(55,445 posts)you've still got to find a way to score...
What an empty feeling...I've been wasting months of anticipation looking forward to that shitfest?
Just cancel the rest of the Olympics, send everybody home, and get the NHL started again (along with MLB)
Joe Shlabotnik
(5,604 posts)like a machine. I'm glad Canada won, but I thought it was a dull game to watch, very little passion or heroics. NHL playoffs > Olympics hands down.

(13,869 posts)Not exactly the most exciting hockey I've ever seen...

(32,100 posts)I wish they'd go back to restricting it to amateurs. They would at least have some time to get used to each other. As the 1980 team showed, even college kids can give us some damn good hockey to watch. Let the pros stay home. None of this slapping a team together with only 2 days of practice. Stupid. And, look at how many guys are out (some for the season) with injuries now: Martin, Tavares, Zuccarello, Kopecky, Barkov, possibly Zetterberg... There are still 2 games left.
And, if they don't do that, USA Hockey needs to get new management and coaching staff. I'm not impressed with them and some of their choices as far as who was on the team.

I don't especially like the Olympics for various reasons and I especially am not interested in Hockey!
but anyway. always good to let out a woot.

(16,399 posts)They will never respect USA Hockey until we beat them in a medal game.
It also makes me sick to see Bergeron on the same line as that punk Crosby.
Go Sweden.

(114,904 posts)In fact, for some time I live literally on the border- my house in VT but part of the backyard in Canada. Also, I'm watching the Olympics on CBC.
