Sport final mens icehockey - USA vs. Canada

[Ingafgrinn Macabre]

Very exciting game. Going in sudden death overtime now. US scored about 25 seconds before 3rd period finished.

Rooting for the Canadians. They have a great team on the ice, and great gameplay. When americans attack, it's like there are 4 goalies in front of their goal
Plus, it just would be great for the canadians to win gold on their hosted olympics.

pretty nice to see an exciting final game, nice action. im just watching, not rooting for anybody (well i was rooting for USA to tie it up for overtime and they did that!)

 

[Ingafgrinn Macabre]

Woohooo! Canada has gold!

 

[Ingafgrinn Macabre]

Hmm wouldn't kill the americans to don a little smile during the medal ceremony.. for gods sake, they still won silver. Can imagine being disappointed but still...

Old fact; you win bronze, you lose silver

Nice game, nice and exciting all around series, and i'll take the high road regarding the earlier "sweden won over finland" thread and not even mention that atleast Finland was best europian country in this.

No wit...oops

True, but in every other sport at the olympics, you see all three (team) medalists climbing up on that pedestal, all smiling and cheering. With ice skating, boarding, skiing, anything. Why should hockey be different? Ofcourse I understand their disappointment, but fer christ sake, it's the olympics. You participated at the olympic games and won silver, and if you can't muster up a smile because you won silver, at least muster up one to show you're a good sport. In my opinion anyway.

True, you do win silver on paper, but other sports are "one off" where all compete at same stages and don't have a final stage.

Always been like this in semi-final/final games, you just don't gret happy for losing the final game.

Imagine gettign your dream job of candy-eating, game playing, drink and hump women with no problems and you'd go through 10 steps to get the job. Then at the final step, you lose because the other guy has the right shade of blue shirt on and only get offered the job of answerign the other guys phone.

You would't clap and smile and go "Well done!" now would you?
