Sochi Winter Olympics Odds and Ends...

[ElephantStomp]

It's going to be the US vs Canada in gold medal game in women's that's obvious. Men I'm not sure. Canada has to get their offense figured out. Crosby has been about as effective as a fart in church

Hope we CRUSH the 'nucks in womens hockey!!! GOLD MEDAL HERE WE COME!

Russia eliminated from Hockey. This isn't gonna end well. Wondering if the hockey team will suffer the same fate as the electrician responsible for the olympic ring not lighting properly.

Will be Canada and Sweden for the gold with Canada winning 3-1.

 

[PhillyGirl]

USA will take gold in both men's (though they need to make it to the finals first) and women's (revenge game!).


USA! USA! USA! USA!

USA! USA! USA! USA!

I could agree with you except for the women's game. Unless something drastic happens the Canadian women are going to win gold. The men's game should be good

SPOILERS

USA had it 2-0 til the last minute or two, gave up two and we are now in OT .. OMG so many emotions!!! Watching the game with a Canadian too .. bleh.

The cross check should have been a penalty shot for Canada. We really dodged a bullet there. I was SHOCKED. But man, you knew the end was coming after that. No question. USA came out swinging at the beginning, but ..

3 unanswered goals though. That's pretty bad. Leading 2-0 for 57 minutes and to lose like that? That makes the loss even worse. And these teams have such bad blood between them over the past few decades .. Man.

The US thought they had it in the bag after 58 minutes and stopped doing what gave them the two goal lead.

Yup, they choked with a capital 'c' .. When the pressure started, they collapsed. Painful to watch. Hope the men kill 'em tomorrow hahah.

I think the US men win. Canada still can't get their lines to gel. Apparently Sidney Crosby can't get in flow with anybody

 

[bamaraider]

Was watching it at work. First time I have ever seen the whole office really stop working as a whole and watch a game.

That game literally stuck a knife in my heart.
