As a canadian I am so happy to see some americans taking interest. Hockey is an amazing sport and I encourage anyone to get out and watch any team at any level. Canada will have it's revenge on the u.s. Mark my words this olympics isnt over. Sad thing is with the olymipics in canada the pressure on the hockey team is unbelieveable. Nothing other than the super bowl compares when it comes to pressure.

The Canadian team has been struggling this year. I mean we had to do a shoot out against sweden, that was just pathetic.

On the womens side of things its Canada vs USA in the finals. Its going to be a close game as both teams have been dominating the competition this year.

I think russia will end up slaughtering canada. Crosby was awesome last nhl season, but hasnt been getting all the sweet goals like he used to. Ovechkin is always doing well even though i dont like him.

Then, It will be a really tough game for the U.S. to win gold. If we face finland, we will win. I'm pretty sure they havent won any games.

My take, one hurdle to clear at a time.

I won't look down at the Swiss, if Hiller stays hot; but if the O-line can connect well, and the D-line can secure the zone, I think the US can match up with Canada and Russia (at their peak).

And No.4 should serve as a good caution before moving ahead.

Yeah, Hiller was still hot today for the Swiss. Glad that two goals came in at the right time for USA.

Can't believe you all are sleeping on the Swedes making it to the gold round game...


Ryan Miller is the man.


Cindy Crosby is a bitch.

Just watched the Canada vs Russia game. I'm so impressed with how dominating Canada was in the game, they totally deserved those 7 goals the way they played.
