USA-Canada

[Nathan Explosion]

I'll admit, I'm not a hockey expert at all. But I'm watching right now and the one thing I've seen Canada doing against the US that they did against Russia is that they're spending tons of time behind the net just getting into the head of the goalie.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I know absolutely nothing about the hockey but will watch this as long as it stays interesting.

I heard the chances of US beating Canadadada twice is highly unlikely.

[Libri]

Canada up, 2-0

[Nathan Explosion]

US back within 2-1. Again, I don't know much about hockey, but I do know team sports. With the Canadian player hanging out around behind the net, the goalie has to keep tabs on him in the back of his mind. That's and they're probing like crazy whenever possible.

The PP kill they had earlier in the 2nd period was beautiful, even to a newbie like myself.

[Nathan Explosion]

Plus Canada just looks faster on the ice.

[ffadicted]

Fucking Team USA is playing like a bunch of pussies out there can't finish anything :madrun

[lefty]

lolololololololololol 2-2

[DMX7]

Fuck Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dex]

Holy shit!

Scored with 24 seconds left to tie!

[Libri]

They just tied it. :wow

[Cant_Be_Faded]

holy shit
this game's been fucking bad ass

i never watched so much hockey before


can't believe they tied it up.

[resistanze]

LOL awesome game.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

why the fuck was the US goalie out for most of the end of the 3rd period?

and wtf is a power play

[Dex]

Overtime!

[Dex]

why the fuck was the US goalie out for most of the end of the 3rd period?

and wtf is a power play

Power play is when one of other team's players is in the penalty box, thus resulting in you having more players on the ice than the other team. Obviously, this is a prime time to score.

And I could be wrong, but I think Miller was out of the goal helping on offense in a last ditch effort on that last minute.

[ffadicted]

TEAM USA!!!! LMAO

I fucking called this (from msn chat with my friend):

Rafael says:

Rafael says:
*no i'm telling for sure
*team USA in overtime
*i'm amazing at predictions

[DMX7]

holy shit

can't believe they tied it up.

lol, I just tuned in for the last 8 minutes and I'm already bored. But this is as good as hockey gets, so I'll keep watching.

[baseline bum]

Holy fuck, what a ridiculous end to the period! It doesn't come much closer than that. I'm glad the country's getting this great chance to see how fucking awesome hockey is.

[DMX7]

You can trade your goalie for an extra offensive player, that's what they did.

Power Play is when you a team is missing a player because of penalty. The guy has to go to the penalty box for 2:00 minutes so you have an advantage.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

lol, I just tuned in for the last 8 minutes and I'm already bored. But this is as good as hockey gets, so I'll keep watching.

I never watch hockey but it's been pretty tight.

They were beating the shit out of each other in the 2nd it was brutal

[Thompson]

So how does overtime hockey work? Is it first to score wins (sudden death)?

What happens if no one scores, how many overtimes are there before they start doing that penalty shot stuff?

[resistanze]

20 minutes 4 on 4 sudden death.

Afterwards if it's tied, 3 player shootout, then sudden death shootout.

[MiamiHeat]

i have never watched an entire hockey game in my life

this is the first time

awesome game so far!

I have to say, I LOVE that the olympics DO NOT let them fight. they separate it and get back to playing

if the NHL did that, i would watch more.

[scottspurs]

USA, we got this one now, sorry Canada, but we own you.

[Dex]

USA, we got this one now, sorry Canada, but we own you.

You realize they're playing hockey, right?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

how does someone go offsides

is overtime sudden death

[DMX7]

I didn't even realize but it's 4 on 4 for overtime. I don't like that.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

canada seems in control with this overtime business

[EmptyMan]

OT Hocky is the shit. I might need to watch this sport more.

[resistanze]

Goal!!!!

[Dex]

Damn...no miracle this year.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

damn that blows

most of overtime was played on us side of the ice

i'm no expert but it seemed like canada was just doing whatever they wanted with the 4 on 4

[EmptyMan]

It's not as good without the playoff beards though :(

[ffadicted]

4 on 4 is so gay it gave canada a huge advantage

[DMX7]

4 on 4 is so gay it gave canada a huge advantage

that's what I was thinking.

[baseline bum]

Incredible game. Miller couldn't keep carrying this team with the shots Canada was getting. Congrats to Canada.

[lefty]

Sidney Crosby


Who else?

He has a flair for drama

[baseline bum]

how does someone go offsides

is overtime sudden death

You can't have a teammate ahead of the blue line when you bring the puck across it. i.e., you can't camp people out in the scoring zone.

[lefty]

Congrats to the U.S

That was a great run

You can't expect less from a team managed by Burke and Wilson

[ffadicted]

Sidney Crosby


Who else?

He has a flair for drama

Sidney Crosby did shit the fuck all the entire game, scores the winning goal which was basically a gift to him, and all the media sucks his cock ala Lebron James

[Pelicans78]

Fuck Canada. Bullshit loss.

[JMarkJohns]

4 on 4 is so gay it gave canada a huge advantage

Yeah... way to good offensively with spacing, passing and puck ability...

Fantastic game, fantastic finish.

Congratulations to Canada for doing what they were supposed to do. Even bigger congratulations to the U.S. Hockey Team for far surpassing any expectation for a giant THANK YOU for treating every fan, half-hearted or not, to a glimpse of how truly amazing hockey can be!

You did good, U.S. You did damn good!

[Pelicans78]

Great game. Hurts to see it end the way it did. It was a great run. Bullshit loss.

[Pelicans78]

I guess they were going with the NHL regular season rules. I was hoping we would see sudden death playoff OT without the 4-on-4 or shootout.

[lefty]

I watch a lot of NHL games, and trust me, he is a clutch mofo

[lefty]

Gary Bettman must be thrilled

Hockey should be must popular in the U.S after that

[Thompson]

Gary Bettman must be thrilled

Hockey should be must popular in the U.S after that

I can't wait to watch more of it in 4 years!

[Pelicans78]

I don't think the next Olympics will have NHL players. Alot of people were pissed that NBC didn't show most of the games.

Honestly, I would rather not have hockey in the Olympics period, or any team sport. Olympics should be an individual sport. I can enjoy watching the World Championships or World Cups of each individual sport without the Olympics bullshit.

[TampaDude]

+1 Hats off to Canada...helluva game...but I threw up in my mouth a little when he scored the game winner. Anyone but him...please! I fucking hate that smug little fucker. I hope the Pens get knocked out in the first round of the playoffs so I can watch him cry. :lol

The problem with the Olympics is that it tightens up the NHL calendar

Too many back-to-back nights for most teams

[TampaDude]

I watch a lot of NHL games, and trust me, he is a clutch mofo

Yup...and he plays for the Penguins...and that's the main reason I hate Crybaby Crosby. I am a Caps fan, and there is no team in the NHL I hate more than Shitsburgh. They can all eat a dick.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Figures douchenozzle scores the GWG.

Does virtually nothing in the entire tournament and Miller gives him a gift to secure gold.

[lefty]

Oh, ok then :lol

Although Crosby is more versatile, I prefer watching Ovie

He always plays with that intensity and that smile

Heh...Miller still got the MVP...the right choice, IMHO. :toast

Ovie is the fucking man. I wish it would've been USA and Russia in the Gold Medal Game.

I can't wait to see him hoist the Cup this year! GO CAPS!!! :hat

[Pelicans78]

Agree with that too.

I could easily watch the World Championships during the offseason because the level would still be high IMO. I would rather not have hockey, basketball, or baseball in the olympics and instead watch their respective World Cups.

Aren't the basketball World Championships this summer? With the level of talent around the world, it's gonna be an awesome tournament.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

That was a great game, and I'm still proud of the USA. Sheeittt.. that really got me into hockey

[TampaDude]

That was a great game, and I'm still proud of the USA. Sheeittt.. that really got me into hockey

You mean you weren't before??? Hockey fucking rules!!! :hat

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

You mean you weren't before??? Hockey fucking rules!!! :hat

No I wasn't, but I'm probably gonna start watching it now haha

[scottspurs]

Dang USA got owned 4 on 4. That would of been awesome. Maybe USA can win the World Cup in soccer. lol

[TampaDude]

No I wasn't, but I'm probably gonna start watching it now haha

If you can, try to watch a Capitals-Penguins game...those two teams have a long history between them...you can feel the hate. :D

[Bukefal]

Congrats to Canada. They are just the best in hockey. It's their game, plus they are at home and USA is superior to them in almost every other sport, except this one so I wished it to them and they deserved it.

But still, USA did a great job, a really good team and you can be proud on them

[lefty]

The problem with the WC is that they are scheduled during the NHL playoffs, so Hockey powers will miss some of their superstars

[DarkReign]

I dont...or should I say, cant hate Crosby. For all the hype, for all the focus, he wins.

Plain and simple.

I didnt even think the Americans would medal, much less go to OT in the Gold medal game.

Fuck...of course I am disappointed that they lost, but they are a fucking force in hockey...no one knew that going in, no one.

Just a little info for the people reading this that dont watch hockey...

The American team was the youngest team in the tournament. This gets better.

[Pelicans78]

[45 bank shot]

Fuck Canada. Bullshit loss.

lol you are the bullshit son.
btw, to refresh your memory, Canada owns the US in both men's and women' hockey finals.:lol

[samikeyp]

Well played Canada. :toast

Also, very proud of Team USA...a lt of "experts" didn't think they would even medal....Silver is a great accomplishment.

[Jacob1983]

You have to give props to both teams. USA surprised everyone even Canada. How many people honestly thought that the this USA team would have even been in the gold medal game? I don't even think that players on team USA thought that. Ryan Miller was great but you can't always win hockey games by depending on your goalie. Besides, Canada's team was stacked with all stars. I can't believe Tom Welling got the game winning goal. He hadn't done shit during the Olympics then he winds up getting the game winning goal.

[cnyc3]

USA played a hell of a game.

So glad we came out on top, Gold Canada Gold!!!

[symple19]

Awesome game, awesome tournament. Congratulations Canada.

I'm proud of the US squad, although gold would have been much sweeter.

This game will be talked about for a long time

[JudynTX]

Congrats to Canada.

[velik_m]

It was a great game, good hockey, lots of excitement. I was kind of glad it didn't go to shootout, it was getting late and i had to go to work in the morning.
