I'm not impressed by that win at all....it was Germany....."don't mention the war".....Basil Faulty.

Luongo....Broduer...Fleury....hell, they could have put a holographic image of Carey Price in net and still could have won that game.

They win today, I may, just may give them some ounce of credit, but until then....I don't believe.

I believe!

I wasn't impressed with Russia, slovakia tomorrow will be
better.
Doesn't matter what we believe, won't change outcome of
anything, they will do what they do, and it isn't awful
to believe they will win, and they don't, not the end of
the world.

I wasn't all that impressed with the effort the Russians put out either, but our guys were dominant. They were skating and hitting all night long. Shea Weber should get the Order of Canada for the way he handled Ovelchicken.

Slovakia is a should win for Canada. Our guys are more talented across the board and they seem to be putting the pieces together. The big thing is not to take the Slovaks for granted and look past them. I think Team USA has a tougher chore in solving the goaltending of the Finns than Canada does.

So if it IS a Canada vs USA gold medal, I wonder who is considered the under dog now? :p Canada was the pre-Olympic favorite but with Team USA winning the round robin game...

lots of good players on that finnish team, with kiprisoff
in net, I will be watching that game with great interest,
nothing sure there for the u.s., they had a hard time
beating the swiss, twice.

no it wasn't nailbiting, but the pride in our canadian team
for the domination over the russians in that game, including
coaching, is just as good.

Kudos to Canada for that stirling win!

Needless to say, I was disappointed that our girls couldn't get the job done. But it wasn't that they didn't try - it was because your goalie was awesome. Yanks took many great shots.

As the TV announcers said, too bad it wasn't a 4 out of 7 series!

It is great that the officials are allowing much more contact in the sport. It makes for a far better game.

After the early USA win over Canada in men's hockey, this girl put up a sign in reply:





Gotta admit - she's got a point, there.

I didn't get a chance to see it. I figured it would be a coin toss. The two countries are quite far ahead from the rest of the pack.

Congratulations to women's team canada, a very strong team,
and they proved it once again.
The woman who scored both the goals, is called the Wayne
Gretzky of women's hockey.
