It will also give the NHL pause in letting their stars play in the Olympics

That's true too, man. The olympics are playoff-level intensity and beyond. Very risky, especially when you get a team like Latvia with nothing to lose who are going to play extremely physical and finish every check with authority.

If you're a playoff team or a team struggling for a playoff spot, it's gotta make you nervous having your stars out there in that kind of intensity, so close to the end of the season.

Women's gold medal game was a war. Great action, lots of drama, epic comeback, HORRIBLE reffing.

Well I reckon the men's team won't allow that shit to happen. If Cindy Crosby starts diving he's going to get smacked like a bitch

Canada won 1-0....the US didn't play their game and this is what they get for it. You HAVE to bring the pain against the Canadians, if you don't they'll keep getting their shots off and they won't make mistakes.


It's a good thing my hockey gear hasn't arrived in time for me to get into pickup hockey games this weekend....I'm ready to crush somebody.

Canada didn't let them run and gun and move the puck like all the other teams did. It's always good whipping the States, sometimes the Yanks get the crazy notion that they're better than Canada at hockey and they need to be humbled HAHAHA

Canada vs Sweden for gold just like I said! I hope I'm wrong but I think the Swedes are gonna win.

The US was just not physical enough. That's how we wore down the other teams. Puck control and being physical.

Crosby is a bitch

Not easy to do against a fast, skilled team who's pushing the pace. I thought they played a good game. Wasn't a blowout by any stretch.

The US has a fast skilled team too...our shots were just flying right into your skates and knee pads. We didn't control the puck well and we didn't hit enough.

We needed BIG Scott Stevens type hits and we didn't get them from our guys.
