Deserved Olympic Gold for team Canada.:yes: I hear team USA run into some ass whooping during Saturday at the bronze game..~;)

In all honesty I think we got a little lucky this time; the USA was a far better team in both the men's and women's hockey. But we'll take it! People up here really went bananas though; it is a really big deal to most everyone.

Agree, but the women's game was a classic. Fact: Canada just did not quit/let up through the entire game. Reminds me of Calgary's last Stanley Cup shot: 90% goaltending and all effort.
The men played solid and consistent, lucky<=>good; better able to exploit their breaks and a gave very little up.
The games could have easily gone the other way (in both cases) and it still would have been good hockey :)
