Canada wins the gold!

[CanadianNoOB]

It was a great game. But honestly the bronze medal match with Finland vs Slovakia was a better watch.

 

[D.T.S.]

Fellow Canadians! WE DID IT! WE WON GOLD WHAT A GREAT FEELING. America, you tried, but in the end, this is our game!!!

Well done on your successes! Though I don't necessarily think an overtime win would qualify it as anyone's game in particular.

Especially since Team USA beat Team Canada earlier in the tournament.

It was a great match to watch though. Great that Crosby put that last one in.

Go pens.

we still beat the states in the game that mattered and we got the most gold medals in a Olympics.

good game sweet goal tending on both sides with Roberto Luongo with us and Ryan Miller for the Americans thought i do wish we played Louongo on the first VS American game.

 

[Spitfire'd]

As a pure bred Michigan Red Wings fan I was upset that Crosby got the winning goal, but this was the best game we'll see all season. It was enjoyable to watch and I agree I was on the edge of my seat.

Mad Props to Ryan Miller, who also happens to be an MSU alum. Nice to have something good come out of our state lol.

 

[Passerby]

ya i was fine with crosby getting the last goal nice to have someone from my Provence take it.

Sure, Canada beat the US in hockey Sunday. But what American could not be proud of what happened on the ice? Canada is a team of Michael Jordans. The US is a team of Scottie Pippens and Steve Kerrs. Talented, absolutely. Franchise players, no.

Yet the US stood toe-to-toe with with them for three periods.

I think this passage sums up the game excellently.

Congratz Canada! But do not expect the same thing next time, Norway is gonna take the gold then

NHL is an american organization but hockey is NOT an american game. The Montreal Canadiens are the most winning team in the NHL and they're from Canada, not just Canadians on that team but uhh that should say something. The U.S. still beat a team of 24 NHL all-stars and almost beat them twice, it was satisfying enough, half the U.S. was under the age of 25

Umm who won the most overall medals? Oh yah America it was like 38 or something like that. =}

 

[iEye Captain]

United States: 37 Medals for approx 300 million people = ~8.1 million people needed to win one medal.

Canada: 26 medals for approx 33 million people = ~1.2 million people needed to win one medal.

I could think of oh-so-many ways to joke about Canada here, but I guess I'll be nice

33 million people with a gross domestic product of 1.25 trillion dollars annually; thats pretty bamf.

funny though, that game tying goal by US should never of happened because there was a too many men on the ice penalty that was even called out by the announcers, but was never called by the officials (figures), with around 2:30-3 mins left. that would have put them in a position to never have had a chance at tying the game.
but what happened happened.

also i gotta say, US didn't beat canada the first game, Miller did...straight up. canada out played everybody in every game of that tournament by a long shot, except for the gold medal game that was very VERY even.


edit: oh and yes, the bronze medal game was an EPIC watch...rofl that was an insane game

right, because Miller scored 4 goals on Brodeur. He was the MVP, but he doesn't score goals, he doesn't gain entry into the o-zone, he doesn't take shots and he doesn't play defense. Whenever you see Brody give up 4 goals with a lineup like the Canadians have I think it's fair to say the U.S. played pretty well

yeah, the Canadian's were falling over one another that game. The US out played us. We did have more shots on net but Miller is amazing; its a shame he plays for the Sabers.

Loved the game - couldnt have been much more tense in the 3rd period and in overtime, but in the end, CANADA FTW!

Canada FTL

:w00t:

Yeah, we pretty much own.

Seriously though, quality over quantity always. I would take our 14 gold over your 37 total any day of the week. Even on mondays, my worst day.

also i gotta say, that is an ignorant thing to say. Who does Miller play for? Oh, right, US did beat Canada the first game.

I mean, really? We have a good goalie, so he is automatically the reason we win our games? Right... That's like when people say the Capitals didn't win, Ovechkin did. Fact of the matter is, the Capitals are good and could win without Ovie (as much as I hate to admit it as I am a Penguins fan).

Watching that game was a good time, I was out in surrey watching it on the big screens and then saw Randy Bachman play once the game was over
