USA vs. Canada Hockey

[Colin]

I am sure glad we won, especially here at home. That said, what a game!!! That could have gone either way at any point in the game. That was the most hard earned gold I can remember in a long time.

Ryan Miller was a beast of a goalie (best in the tournament IMHO).

I'd personally like to thank the US on a great game and a few sudden losses of breath.

Go Canada Go! 14 Gold medals.

Great game! But did it HAVE to be Crosby!? (Said the Redwings fan) Great olympics--congratulations to my friends to the southeast--er Canada!

There was a bit in today's sports page that stated that under the old Olympic hockey format (pre-1990's) there was no "gold medal game" per se. Under that format, the US would have been awarded the gold in these games, having reached the tournament's end undefeated, and having beaten Canada in a prior round.

I don't understand how that worked in those days. Didn't USA win the gold in 1980 in a "gold medal game" against Finland...?

Seem's a local radio station in Buffalo (103.3 the Edge, NY) has banned Canadian music from their station for a day or so! All I can say is that I'll take the ban with the win, the alternative might've been a USA win and 24 hours of Celine Dion crossing the border !
