Have you folks been following any of the games? I just caught most of the 2nd and 3rd period of the USA vs. Norway. It ended up 6-1 USA but was a better game than the score would indicate, 3-1 after the 2nd.

Looks like Canada vs. USA on Sunday. Hopefully it will be televised so we can all enjoy.

GO USA! :)

I have been trying but coverage here is not that good. Canada vs US should be an entertaining game. Can't wait.
 
Ya know, with all due respect, team USA is really bad. So how come they're leading after two periods???? I think the shots are about 173 -2 for Canada at this point :?

hmph.

You know what would be the toughest job in the world tonight?
A Crisis Line counselor in Canada :wink: :P :lol:
 
Watched tonight's game from start to finish...HELLUVA GAME!!! An incredible job from Miller between the pipes.
 
From atom up youir goalie needs to be your best player-ours wasn't. Pronger played like a dinosaur too. We get to play Russia now I'm asmiong we can beat Norway lol.
 
I just saw a report from Vancouver where they said the police are having a tough time containing the drinking and public drunkeness...

OT, that's the standard headline for the daily Canadian news. :wink: :) :lol: :lol:

That was one heck of a game.... it was like the NHL allstar game, only with some major enthusiasm.
 
Was an awesome game, no counseling necessary though. We will just move on to the next game. I would have pulled Brodeur after the first. It might have been those 30 year old Sweaters the US were wearing.
 
I tried to watch the Chech/ Russian one and it was a real snooze.. So I missed the Canadian/United States one... Who watched the ski and shooting one? My son loves that one..... Was really good I thought!
 
Don't get the NHL on TV much down here except at playoff time. I like watching hockey, though, so I eat it up when the Olympics are on.

Was really into the match last night. Looked like the Canadians were the better team overall, but the Americans looked a little faster. Goaltending definitely was the difference. Miller was outstanding and Brodeur let a couple through that he normally wouldn't.

Talent is one thing, but you just never know how a team is gonna mesh nowadays, since the teams are basically thrown together a week or so before the Olympics. Don't know about the others, but back when the U.S. team were amateurs they'd have tryouts the summer before the Olympics. Then they'd play 60 or so exibitions in the U.S. and Europe. Playing that many games together under the same coach really helped.

Let's not forget that the Canadians can still take the gold if they win out. Be fun to see them and USA match up again in the gold medal game.

Also thought it was ironic that the guy that scored the empty net goal at the end plays for Vancouver in the NFL.
 
Are you all biased about women's hockey ????????

The Canadians and the USA (women's teams) will face off for the gold ,should be a hell of a game .. :P


Go Canucks !!!!!!!!!!!! :clap:

Yeah Canada should take care of Germany tomorrow & be ready to club the Russians the next day.

The USA gets that bye & the extra day off, but you never know if that helps or gets you out of rhythm. Time will tell. 8)
