I was about to watch Canada beat the USA at Ice Hockey ............

......................... but the game seems to go on for hours!!

I'm not sure if I can last that long, I've got an early start tomorrow :sleep:

Might be fun though!
 
Same as racing

I'm switching back and forth, but the damn networks have synced their commercials, i swear! Get a advert during the race, switch to the match and damn, got an ad there too. The commercials are what make me shut off the TV, too redundant, bores me to sleep. Why hasn;t someone killed Flo at Progressive yet, that witch burn mes up.

A classic matchup suddenly becomes a classic match!

Go USA!!

Well, as much as I would have liked to see team USA win it was a great game to watch, and if we were going to get beat having Canada win on "home ice" was pretty cool.
 
Sid the Kid beat his man to the goal, and in a flash too fast for the camera to keep up, he slapped it past Ryan Miller to send all of Canada into delirium!

Hell of a hockey game!

Congrats, Canada! The Molson will flow liberally tonight! :icon29:

Congrats Canada, hell of a game, switched to that when I was sure one of the Hendricks cars was going to win the race. Wish now I had watched the entire game and left the race alone. All that time just to see the 48 car win again. It's getting to be like Groundhog Day!
 
You know, as much as I so dearly wanted the US to win this game. Having listened to the crowd and listened to "Oh Canada" being sung so well by the entire stadium, I have to admit this was a fully classic situation. I would say Vancouver, British Columbia and Canada's Olympic Games of 2010 were ended with the most beautiful of well tied red bows!

Watching the Canadian supervisor wait to acknowledge the crowd's anticipated roar as he was ready to slip the gold medal around the last player in line -- Sidney Crosby -- as he delayed and physically urged the crowd to roar even louder, I suddenly appreciated what it really all meant. Sidney became a national sport hero for the rest of enternity. I cannot think of a more satisfying feeling as a human being.

Ryan Miller was voted the Most Valuable Player of the hockey tournament field. Well earned!

Canada as a nation got what they wanted most!

Hey All,

What a game! What an Olympics!

Canada from never having won gold as the host in two previous Olympics (Calgary and Montreal) to winning more gold in one Olympics than any country in the history of the winter Olympics. A great story in and of itself.

Men's and women's Hockey gold medals are just the icing on the cake! As a note Crosby's goal will become almost as historic as Henderson's in 72.

The sentimental story of this Olympics - Joannie Rochette of Canada who won figure skating Bronze despite the fact that her mother died of a heart attack on arrival in Vancouver where she expected to see her daughter skate.

This dual American/Canadian Citizen is very proud tonight!

This was an AWESOME game! Both teams played with their heart & soul! They gave it their all! Alas! There can only be ONE Gold Medal winner, and today, Team Canada was. With that said, both teams were winners in my book. While I am ecstatic that Canada won, I'm also proud that Team USA was the team to stand next to Canada on that podium. (even though there was not a podium).

Congrats to both teams!

Way to go Canada! I am proud to be Canadian, but today, more than any other day, I'm even more so.

 
Great Game!!!

Gotta hand it to Team USA, a great performance! Very well played game to cap ofF a stellar US performance in the Round Robin.

A perfect cap to a wonderful Olympics, Vancouver was a great host for the Games.

Go Canada Go!
 
Congratulations, Canada. This is what I like about hockey; they settle it on the ice. I'm not a big fan of sudden death in any sport - especially football - but consider figure skating. It obviously takes a lot of training, dedication, and atheltic ability, but then there are these people called judges... I'd have liked to have seen USA win, but I can't think of ANY sport that impinges on the American psyche like hockey does in Canada. I live right on the border, and you can't go to the convenience store without interacting with Canadians here, so I do know a little of what I'm talking about. The closest I can come to describing it is the people in Friday Night Lights, but even that's wrong. They have their own thing. You have to have been around Canadians. You'd see it a once. Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS CANADA!!!

I was living in the USA when Canada won the Gold medal in Olympic Men's and Women's hockey at Salt Lake in 2002. I was proud to be a Canadian. I think I am even prouder watching them win in Vancouver tonight. Go Canada!!!
