Great game played by both sides and it could have gone either way. I am just so happy it went our way and Canada set some records. Great game to everyone!!!
Such a proud Canadian right now
Please though if we could cut down on the trash talk and if you are going to dish it...fucking take it!!!
Beautiful pic you posted Lukin.
Thank you...yes it was a great game...hockey at it's best...see all the video of people streaming into the streets...hockey just means the world to us.

metsfan...i know, it just erks me, because many countries play hockey well, including yours. As for Basketball other countries are playing basketball and getting better, baseball is starting to be controlled by the Japenese and South America, when you take sports global people catch on and get better. Just look at the Olympics, you 4 man bobsleigh team took gold first first time a whole whack of years, we took bronze, usued to be controlled by the germans and russians.
i know it does but better to just let the poor sportsmanship by him be. you should be enjoying your gold and getting drunk. agree with everything you say. look at how far we've come as country in hockey. our boys just won the world juniors for the 2nd time in 6 years and have placed sliver 2 times in the Olympics in the past 10 years. thats a far cry from where we once were.
Agreed, your country has come along ways, your junior team broke my heart, and I thought it was going to happen again, kinda ironic, we came back from 2 down in the world junior game and lost in OT, your team came from 2 down and lost in OT.

My friends in Canada are happy and celebrating their hockey victory. I congratulate ALL the participants for the excitement your teams gave in this tournament. Now on to the NHL season and mat that excitement continue all season long.
That said LET'S GO BRUINS keep that momentum going.

that's what gave me some hope for us in the game, but it wasn't our time.
oh well

It does I wonder how many people will be out "sick" tomorrow!! I really want to wear my hockey t-shirt to work tomorrow-I am guessing my office would frown upon that
I even saw a dog with his Olympic gear on today Yonge St. in TO is partially closed down. Canada rocks
Great game. Excellent tournament by the US, I think this team will be a force for some time to come.
Clear sign the Pens WON'T win the Cup this year.
Well it is kind of hard to get to the big dance 3 years in a row. But as we've just seen you never can count out crosby.
I agree, you can never count out Crosby, he has a little something that all great ones have, he can strike at any time, just like Mario, Gretzky, Messier, Lafleur the list is endless, let me tell, when you do something like what Crosby did tonight he will always have a special place in most Canadian hearts, just like Sakic and Iginla from '02, Mario and Gretzky from those Canada Cups and of course the only Toronto Maple Leaf I like, Paul Henderson.

It's hard to win this tournament, I heard Stevie Y. say that over and over this week, he's right. He said right from the outset that he didn't think any team would go undefeated, in the end he was right. It's also hard to pick a team, over the last 2weeks he was 2nd guessed about this player and that player, I did my fair share of 2nd guessing, but I never 2nd guessed Crosby choice and he is this countries next Gretzky and I think Getlaf is the Messier.

This country is going to have one hell of an Olympic hang over. Congrates to Vancouver and Canada. We showed the world that we are a prideful and patriotic.

Congrats to Team Canada.
You guys capped off what I thought were a very good Olympics for Canada.
I read every post.
It was a very intense,exciting game
I know it would have been tough for me if the U.S won.

"They don't give a shit Keith Moon is dead,

you might be right, but shouldn't be totally surprised. Mike Babcock like to play it tight, just hasn't worked out. I'd be surprised if Thorton is still with Heatley, I'd move Cosbey between Marleau and Heatley and move Thorton with Iginla. Neither Thorton or Iginla has does anything. Since its 4-4this OTwill not last 2 long and i'd be surprised if we win.The US has speed to burn. Our team looks burned out. But I guess you never know.
They looked totally gassed at the end of regulation, wasn't expecting any energy in OT, but Jimed hit the nail on the head I think.

On a side note, I must have missed something. Why was Crosby not wearing the "A" for this game? Was there a rotation set up or what? I have no problems with Iginla having it but for that douche Pronger to have it instead of Crosby is a travesty.

I agree, I did not think we'd keep up to them in 4 on 4, but I thought for the most part we carried the play in OT, and it was an excellent goal, but sid looked determined when he tried to split the D and kept going after the puck.

Well Pronger played well in this game, and I think his experience was a benefit in this game.

I just thought it was weird to switch it up in a short tournament unless that was the plan all along.

There was a rotation between Iginla, Crosby, and Pronger. Today was Pronger and Iginla's turn.

Messier was special and without a doubt the greatest leader in any sport. For me it's hard to define who the greatest is, I can't do it. Every era in hockey is different, my dad will say Rocket Richard, Gordie Howe, Jean Beliveau and Doug Harvey were the greatest, people who are more familiar with Orr will say he's the greatest, the greatest is someone who could play in any ere and the moose could, but so could those I guy. For me it will always be Gretzky, he worked hard at selling hockey and has been a great Canadian Ambassador.
