I hope they got more condoms;)

Apparently they had to rush 100,000 condoms up here for the athletes. And that's only for the Canada woman's hockey team.

Interesting bit of trivia: Due to the seeding established in the preliminary rounds (this would be the first time the US beat Canada), the US will be the home team.

1/2 hour 'til the biscuit drops, might be the game of the decade if it lives up to its potential.

Love the way the talking heads make it sound like the US is a heavy underdog, instead of the #1 seed who has already beaten Canada. BTW, who was the Canadian pimp they went to for analysis? :r

this game is outrageous

Canada is playing better D for sure, but Luongo is begging to give up rebound goals

US towards the end was really pouring it on offensively, but was getting out of position and was bailed out by Miller

both teams are playing their butts off, this is great

It was/is absolutely GONZO in downtown Vancouver this afternoon!!! Amazing game, completely lived up to the billing it's been getting for the last 4 years (even if most of that PR was assuming we'd be meeting the Russian's). Both teams played amazingly well, it could have easily gone either way... and that's the way games like that should be. Have to admit that I felt pretty bad for Miller after the euphoria of the moment passed, I never played goal but it's gotta feel pretty bad to be the guy that let in the goal that lost the gold :(

But it's always the goalie who lets in the losing goal. Miller was the Olympic MVP, gained HUGE big game experience, and has a whole new respect in North America and around the world....Once the sting wears off, he will be better off for the experience. :)

And I was born in 1987, so I can't comment on seeing anything before then:D

but for most Canadian's of that generation the 1972 summit series stands out as featuring the best hockey of that era :2

I am not a big fan of shutting down the NHL for 3 weeks mid season.

I would much rather see them go back to a Canada Cup / World Cup format with the tournament happening between NHL seasons.

Oh no doubt, he was amazing throughout the entire tournament! I just meant I felt for the pain he must have been feeling at that moment. It's not like he pulled a Tommy Salo or anything.
