Joy is a great teacher, but so is dispair. Wonder is a great teacher, but so is confusion. Hope is a great teacher, but so is disillusionment. And life is a great teacher, but so is death. To deny yourself any of those in any aspect is not experiencing life totally.

An amazingly entertaining game. Three breakaways back to back, the crazy last ten minutes of the third period. Wow, what a game.

That is what hockey is supposed to look like. Very entertaining game.

I haven't looked at the brackets, but I have a feeling we will be seeing some great hockey.

After watching the US vs Canada game I am sooo surprised with how well we played. Miller was the man as stated before. he made some great stops tonight. If we play Canada again it would probably be in the championship game. Great win, we showed the world we can play with the big guys and win.

Great game. A hot goalie can take a team a long way. I was getting pretty nervous toward the end of the third period. Canada was really pouring on the pressure. We just could not clear the zone or get a line change. Whew!

When the Canadians weren't in the penalty box that third period, it looked like they were on a constant power play at full strength. I don't know if the US really had control of the puck for a span of about 4 minutes in the third period.

One of the ESPN analysts had a pretty good take one it this morning:
The U.S. has the best goalie in the world how far we go will depend on his play. We do not have the scoring power of Canada, Russia, Sweden or Finland but with Miller we will have a decent chance.

Also Team U.S.A just looked like it was really hungry for a win last night, i.e. Kesler beating the Canuck defensemen for that one handed open-netter.

It is going to be a fun medal round! I want Canada again!

Kevlar you put it perfectly, other than an occasional Wild game , and the N H L playoffs, I dont watch hockey much any more for that reason, but as you said, the style they play in the Olympics is faster, cleaner, and more skill, and it's very entertaining to watch. I think our boys woke a sleeping giant when they beat Canada though, after what I saw against Russia, were in deep trouble if miller cant stop 60 shots. The Canadians are coming to kick a$$ and chew bubble gum, and they may be all out of bubblegum,Go U S A!!

USA played a great tournament, The game today was great. Congrats to the Canadians here. Your team played a little better than the USA today.

As a side note - I do not like the overtime format for hockey in the Olympics - a 20 minute 4 on 4 period and then on to a shootout. Like the Stanley Cup Finals, they should play 5 on 5 for as many periods as needed until someone scores. Teams are structured for 5 on 5 play. Can you imagine if the basketball teams had to play 4 on 4 in their overtime games? And to decide the winner or loser based on an individual effort (shootout) is just wrong. My 2 cents.

02/28/2010 05:59PM

I wanted to see Patrick Kane on the ice a little more, in the overtime. Especially in a 4 on 4... Young legs, and he seems to make things happen.
Did someone hammer those medals out, in their garage ?
On another note...This game was the only thing I watched of these Olympics.
Big waste of money.
In my opinion

Now, lets get back to the NHL.

Stumpy, I'm not sure if there is a correlation between your comments and the quote you use at the bottom, but you really need to get over that 'root of bitterness', or get rid of that quote. The Gold in hockey may be a big deal to some people, but no one wants a sore loser. Both teams did their best, and only one could win. Hopefully going back to NHL and having a team that can do some winning will make you happy. Yikes!

It hurts to loose a game like that but man what a game!

There is no shame at all in loosing to Canada they have always been a hockey powerhouse and always will be, The US team played great throughout the tournament and took Canada to the limit which I am sure will make this win mean a lot more than it otherwise would.

Congratulations to our great neighbors to the north and thanks to the young men on the USA Hockey team who made it such a fun ride.

Every NHL Stanley Cup playoff game is like that game. In the playoffs, there is no fighting and the intensity is very high. If you haven't tried it - I highly recommend it. I think the Stanley Cup playoffs are the most exciting tournament in all of sports.

Still recovering from the loss but games like that is what makes following sports so much fun.

The Canadians obviously had more talent based on paper and how many of their players are stars in the NHL. The fact that a younger US team beat them in the prelim rounds and took them to O.T. in the gold medal game shows how much heart and intensity they played with. In my opinion they definately did their country proud.

Yeah, I'm hoping they allow the NHL players to go to Russia and compete in four years. The US team is very young and they should be even better than this years team.

The problem is that Canada has some real good young players too. :)
