Canada wins the gold in sudden death OT with a goal by Sidney Crosby! I think Canada has a new hero. Great effort by both teams!!!

Yes that was an excellent game and for a while I thought we might lose. Great game by both teams I would say, congrats U.S on the silver medal. Cheers

Men and Women's hockey was dominated by North America. Big day for Canada. Big day for hockey.

Will be interesting to see if the NHL let's their plays off for the Olympics 4 years from now.

I agree North America certainly dominated Hockey and I think the NHL will let their players participate in many Olympics to come and they certainly should cause it makes for better hockey. I think it also encourages other countries to get better that way.

My future Son In Law grew up in Nanaimo Vancouver and played Ice Hockey for most of his early years, so you can imagine how he is at the moment...over the moon doesn't even come close to describing his mood.

On the downside...the TV Network here in Australia that has the rights to televising the Winter Olympics didn't both to televise the game because it would "interfere with their morning programming", yet they could still air a 30 yr old episode of Gilligan's Island!!! Crying or Very sad

B@#&*$DS

Suffice to say there will be some rather explicit nasty-grams headed their way. burr

If anybody managed to tape this game, I would be extremely appreciative if I could get my hands on a dvd copy. Pray

Congratulations to both teams...the road to the Gold Medal playoff was long and hard and both teams earned their position in the final game the hard way.

Cheers, Vince

If they don't then the Canadian, American, Czech, Russian, Slovak, Finnish, and Swedish teams would have to drop out of the Olympics. Very Happy

As a US fan, I must congratulate the Canadians. They definitely outplayed the US in the finals. GREAT forechecking - an awesome performance.

But the Bruins are going to beat the Montreal canadiens on Tuesday . . .

That's OK cause I have never cheered for the Montreal Canadiens but as long as the Calgary Flames beat the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday. Very Happy

Vince,
Sorry but I didn't record the game. I don't know if this will be of any help or not but I could send you a copy of Gilligan's Island!

Actually the Wilds are a interesting team ... 24 players, 3 Finnish, 2 Czechs, and the rest are all Canadians. Not a single American on the team. Laughing

Hopefully I will be able to get it mate...I know during the Olympics they were not allowed to show anything on the net...most frustrating. I just tried the link and it wouldn't bring up a video of any sort....fingers crossed for tonight mate.

Odd if you click "Install Silver Light" it should work. That is how I have watched more of the games then I would have just watching TV. The joys of computers at my college. Laughing
