If you didnt see it you missed a hella game! Ryan Miller was outstanding in net. Another Ryan and Michigan boy Ryan Kesler hussled to put the game away with an empty netter on his own Canuck NHL ice. Keep the momentum boys. Felt like 1980!

That was a very entertaining hockey game! Hell of an effort by Team USA. Both Miller and Rafalski were HUGE ! Looking forward to watching Team USA advance...

Miller was incredible. That was the most action packed game I've seen in a long time.

I was more excited to watch this game then the super bowl and it didn't disapoint. Miller was awesome, Brodeur was suprisingly subpar. I think Canada will do fine with Luongo in goal.

Anyone catch Russia versus the Czechs? I don't see anyone beating the hard checking Russians.

I am surprised Luongo wasnt in the pipes.

30 years ago today. US won the Gold in Lake Placid! What a day. RIP Herb Brooks. Kurt Russel nailed Brooks in this movie.

Olvechkin laid out Jagr

Russia is tough

As good as they've ever been...I can even see Canada/US finals in both mens and womens hockey...not exactly a lock, but I could see it happening.

Fish on...

Ya....I think the gold for the men is going to have to go through them....and Olvechkin is a stud.

Tommorow--US vs Swiss

Canada vs Russia

Americans edge Swiss 2-0 to advance to semifinal

Canada is killing 'em....looks like they might get a re-match with the US eh?

I'm enjoying the hockey action, good stuff. Is it just me or is there a lack of physicality? Why all the high scores? For me it's kinda like watchin' a bunch of NHL All Star games. Very little hard checking, no fighting (not that that's what hockey is all about). Is it just the spirit of the Olympics?

If they fight they get a game misconduct in the Olympics not the 5 minutes like NHL so gotta rely on hard hitten and taking them off the puck

Miller was good again, so was Luongo...but anyone is good on thier home ice

Russia looked like they were asleep.

Canada banged 4 in the first period really took the wind out of the Russkies sails and they answered with 1.

Now we got Finland on the road to Gold

USA vs Finland at noon

Canada vs Slovokia 630pm

gonna be good hockey

Crikeys!!!!

Complete domination by Team USA today.
-
3-0 Canada, end of first period.. it will take a friggin miracle for Slovakia to come back.
-
USA vs. Canada on Sunday will bring a ridiculos share to the TV ratings.... it will be staggering how many people will be tuning into that game abroad on Sunday (12:05pm) ....
-
Oh how great it would be to beat the Canadians for the Olympic Gold on their own soil.... it no doubt will be a very tough match up... but Team USA is playing with a lot of poise... GO Team USA !! Bring home the GOLD...

Spot on Chuck....

Gold medal victory would be "icing on the cake"...
-
Oh, how I would love to be soaking in that game in the Great White North...with my USA jersey on and a cold Molson in one hand...
-
Get'er done fellas...

Maybe I spoke to soon.. Slovakia just put their 2nd goal in the back of the net...staging a come back, eh? 3-2 with 4 minutes left....come on Canada... hang on......wouldn't be nearly as sexy of a game w/out you guys

Greeeeaaaat ending....Sunday can't get here soon enough!! Soooo jacked up about this game.... Go get'em fellas....

I over looked slovakia...but then looked at their roster with the likes of Hossa, Gaborik, and Chara, I am suprised they didn't win that game...

Canada is still stacked and still cannot be overlooked, but USA has been riding Miller the whole way and he should take them to the Gold!!

Intense!!

I'm pulling for Canada in this game. If they win they will set a record for the most Gold medals by any country in the Winter Olympics. The US with either Gold or Silver will set a record for most medals won by a country in the Winter Olympics. 2 records are better than 1. Go Canada - Go North America!!!!!

That's kind of a socialist-type view, isn't it, eddie?



Screw Canada................go team USA!!

I was up in Vancouver yesterday and wearing my American Flag cap.... A *lot* of friendly chirpyness about the game--people congratulating me on the silver medal, etc...

They are SO FIRED UP for the game up there it's incredible -- talk of the town. I cannot imagine how loud it'll be up there... Super moment for USA Hockey to steal one!

Where exactly in Puyallup do you live, Eddie ?




Go USA
The bully is goin' down.

I wonder if Canadian Health Care will be able to handle the high volume of cases of sudden onset clinical depression ?

PISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSer.....................

Fun game to watch though.....

Keith

That was a hella good game.

Could not of asked for a better game. Every player left it out on the ice. Glad there was no blow out. Parise (Minnesota boy) put the game into OT with 24 seconds left. That was intense. Good Hockey-Good job USA!

Will be hard to go back to the NHL after playing for your country. Should be a good remaining NHL season.

Coho hit the nail on the head... could not have asked for a better Gold Medal game..... nice effort Fellas.... that was one hell of a hockey game..... left it all on the ice.... congrats to the Canadians...

I look at it as they are tied 1 game apiece!

Two outa three would decide. What would those tickets have sold for?

Pros vs Pros, any given day either team could win, that they proved.

It was never gonna be, Miracle on Ice 2. Never gonna see a bunch of college kids beat a bunch of Russian pros during the time of the Cold War era again.

Both good games!
