I will have to try to catch the last ten minutes of the third period on the replay tonight- hard for the canucks not to win with a 5 on 3 power play in sudden death.

4 on 3

Overtime is 4 on 4

Girl that got the penalty was warned a few times in the game not to slash at the goalie, she took a bad penalty in OT

Indeed you are correct.... Dan talking heads said 5 x3. Was watching some replays of the penalty and the winning goal. our gal earned that penalty... no doubt. Impressive for Canada to go for straight though... even if I wish it ended differently.

The US girls are fast, but it was a younger team too, they lost a little composure at the end of the game.

It was the last olympics for a lot of Canadian veterans. I don't think we would have been so lucky if it was a younger team

We gawking blew it. No excuses.

Great coaching to put the US in a prevent defense the last half of the third period.


Attention coaches of all sports: THAT NEVER WORKS!

ha that was epic.

Agreed! Go Canada!

Although I did hear that people are not too optimistic about the men's team playing against the States. Guess we will see. Regardless, anything US VS Canada should be an exciting/good game at least!

I'm iffy about the men's team considering how they played against Latvia, which they struggled. I will be at work so I can't watch this one, but go Canada.

A near miss still scores the same as a total miss

Aww

USA is about to get the 4th place medal, which is a pile of dog shit on a string.


I bet this will fuel the fire on the talks of NHL players not playing in the Olympics anymore.

I was having this talk with my dad and co workers the other day. A good chunk of the best hockey players (but certainly not all...) in the NHL are Canadian. It does seem a bit unfair to the other teams when Team Canada is compromised of mostly NHL players.
