I can understand wanting Canada to win; after all, hockey is really the only cultural export of any significance that Canada can claim as its own, particularly when it comes to athletics. In football, baseball, Christ, even soccer Americans always have superior talent. It truly would be a crushing blow if the U.S. took that from Canada as well. There would be nothing of relevance left that Canda could call it’s own, except for maybe Alanis Morissette or mullets. Sad, very sad indeed.

Canadian Smake?
Co-worker firend of mine is Canadian, and a life long Leafs fan. He’s so confident of a CAN gold medal win over USA, he sends me a smake-talking email this morning with the following wager: If CAN wins, he will buy me lunch, and vice versa if USA wins. So, pay for the win, conosole with a lunch.
What does this say about Canadians?

I’m OK with this. USA did some damage. They’re clearly under the skin of Perry and Getzlaf. They laid some big hits, forced Canada to block a bunch of shots, and generally took a physical toll.
1-0 is not a bad place to be at the intermission.

If the game can go for Team USA as it did for Hershey today. Note: Hershey was down 1-0 after the first period, tied it up in Period 2 and went on to win in a shootout.

Agreed. I would think that deep down, team Canada may feel a little let down that they are only up 1-0. they had a good amount of chances. The USA squad should feel that they will get their chances and wear them down.
What amazing date in history are we giong back to today, Mr. Peabody?
It almost worked for Slovakia. Question is can USA maintain the pace for two more periods, they looked to fade a bit at the end of the first.

No, if anything is on the line you get the benefit of the doubt. So to gain the zone you just touch the blue, to leave the zone it has to fully clear it out.

IIHF Rule book:
b) The determining factors in deciding an offside are:
1. The players’ skates position – player is offside when both skates are completely
over the blue line in his attacking zone before the puck completely crosses
the line,
2. The puck position – the puck shall have completely crossed the blue line into
the attacking zone.
Weird. That’s different from every other level of hockey I’ve ever played or watched. Offensive team always gets the benefit.

Luongo looks real shaky. He’s going to keep us in the game. We just need to bench Whitney and Gleason and ride Suter/Rafalski/Orpik/EJ. I’m still waiting for Orpik to take himself out of the play throwing a big hit, but hopefully he waits a few days. And if anyone at CC wants to pump up Gleason, just ask if they watched the Olympics. He’s been brutal against the competition. Apparently he only plays well against AO.

If you rewind to about 20 seconds before the goal, Pavelski sent a routine wrister at Luongo that easily should have been gloved down. Instead, it bounced off Lou’s glove and right back to the US allowing them to maintain possession.

This is the canadian media in 3,2,1
That’s not entirely true. I think he had a good tournament, really. The points weren’t there the past few games but he contributed in many other ways. His passing plays especially were as sound as ever. I don’t particularly like the guy, but I’ll admit that he played well in what games I saw.
That said, he didn’t have a great game today until that goal.

His play has gotten him a gold and a cup. That’s about it. The “unlike Mr. Ovechkin” shot isn’t, but other than that, he’s got a point.

Well the “unlike Mr. Ovechkin” part was pretty important to that sentence. Nobody gets upset when they simply say “Crosby has a Cup and a Gold” it’s the conclusions that follow about individual players. You know that, so I’m not really sure why you’d agree with the comment.

certain sports, like hockey, gets an automatic berth for the host country. but many do not, so the host still has to qualify through the ordinary qualification process.
The US typically has one of the largest contingents in the olympics, because they manage to qualify in everything from the glamor sports to the really small niche things like Nordic Combined.

Well yes, it does make sense, but if you’re arguing/implying that that somehow makes it less impressive (not sure if you are but I’ve definitely seen others try) then you’re ignoring the fact that we have all of those U.S. athletes because more U.S. athletes were good enough to qualify at their sport than any other country’s athletes.

So as a hockey fan, I’m can be happy for a country who cares so much about the sport.

The flip side of that is the entitlement and disrespect Canada has shown in sharing their game with others.

Feel free to be wrong. He’s one of the most inconsistent players in the league and he’s routinely put in the same class as players that out-perform him on an annual basis.

Eric Staal not a top 10 C? Interesting. I’d disagree considering every guy you’d likely put up on a board ahead of him is playing between, and in front of significantly better players.
Just because the Canes suck doesn’t make Staal good.
Crosby, Malkin, Datsyuk, Backstrom, Getzlaf, Richards, Carter, Toews, Thornton, Sedin, Zetterberg, Stamkos, Kopitar. When Marleau plays C I think he’s a better all around player. Lecavalier may have fallen a bit but he’s no worse than Staal. I think you can make the case for Franzen over Staal. Brad Richards is right there. I personally like M. Koivu more than Staal as well but he doesn’t have the name recognition yet.

Nieds was for sure. The guys that I’d say were non-factors/easily replaced were Boyle, Seabrook, Bergeron, Staal. I’d say everyone else on that team was pretty damn good. Toews was a beast. Richards didn’t do a ton but he did his job very well. Morrow, once he finally got more than 6 minutes of ice, was awesome. I can give Seabrook some credit; he wasn’t bad, but considering he was supposed to be a shutdown guy that had chemistry with Keith I never remember thinking “that was a great call bringing Seabrook.” I think there are a handful of other guys that could have done what he did and probably added more.

I didn’t even think he was that good today. He didn’t create much O and he basically just about held his own on D. The fact that he ended up not even getting the top PP unit time says a lot to me too.

Seabrook wasn’t even sweaty when the game ended, he didn’t see much ice.
Nieds was inconsistent, I thought. There were points where he was all over the ice making plays and others where I was thinking “You know, maybe he’d be a bad influence on Mike Green.” He’s perhaps as fast as he ever was in a straight line, but he doesn’t change directions as well anymore. He’s been vulnerable in 1-on-1 situations through the entire tournament, but was pretty good with the breakouts and neutral zone passing plays.
Keith was invisible in this game, less a turnover at the blueline that I thought might cost CAN a goal, but got bailed out by something.

I can’t think of a single instance in which any of the Canadian defensemen stood out in a bad way tonight. They all moved the puck extremely quickly, won puck battles and were generally the difference in terms of which team was more dominant.
Well they sure didn’t have Ryan Whitney teeing up pucks in the slot.

This is a good list. Nice to see Toews get the recognition he deserves, he was quietly CAN’s most consistent and impactful player.

Hossa didn’t do too badly either, I thought. Though I agree with the choice of Demitra. In my eyes, it was largely him and Demitra who carried the team. I was disappointed with Gaborik, however.

I feel for Gaborik, you know he was gutting it out just because it’s the Olympics. It’s a shame because the world missed a great player on a great stage. It’ll be interesting to see if he misses time with NYR. If only Demitra had one more goal…

I’m so much less disappointed than I thought I was going to be. That was a hell of a great hockey game. I’m proud of this US team and what they accomplished. I’m still in awe of Ryan Miller.
You know what? Hockey indubitably is Canada’s game. Partly because I’m a hockey fan, and they’re such good neighbors, I like Canada and am pleased they pulled off such a good Games.
And maybe Sidney Crosby actually is the best player current playing. Does it matter?
I was a Washington Capitals fan back when they were among the worst of the worst. I was a fan when they’d never made it to the Stanley Cup Finals and that year when the best they could do was get swept in SCF. I am a fan now that they have the most entertaining, exhilerating, fun-to-watch player in the world.
I’m lucky to get to watch this Washington Capitals team. What fans and journalists say about Crosby doesn’t matter. What fans and journalists say about Ovechkin doesn’t matter. Our team plays great hockey right now. As devoted fans, that it the thing that matters. (That, and maybe getting further than ever before in June.)

Today was the first time I think he’s really been clutch playing actual hockey.

Obviously, he doesn’t have to defend himself to me, and a gold medal goal is pretty damn clutch, but I don’t see a pattern yet.

Well, shit. How are you feeling? Gut punched? Broken? Just wanting to go to sleep and never wake up? Embrace it. It’s a wonderful thing.
Just a brutal loss for the United States. The team that dramatically ties it up with 25 seconds left is supposed to have all the momentum. It’s not supposed to end this way, you say. But it was.
It was always supposed to end like this. Canada were the favorites going in, and, despite hiccups against the US and Switzerland, were clearly the best team in every game they played.
Let go of your patriotism for a second. This is the perfect way to close Vancouver 2010. The home nation, topping off its most successful games ever with a gold medal in the biggest sport at at Olympics — and it happens to be their national sport, to boot. The fact that their golden boy scored the winning goal, against their biggest rivals? It’s a storybook ending.
To be such a dramatic win, it had to be a heartbreaking loss for someone. And boy, it hurts right now. But you’re not alone.
And that’s the beauty of it. There are millions of Americans walking around like zombies right now. You’re all going to be depressed for a while, and you’ll spend the rest of your life thinking about what might have been.
It hurts because you care. And maybe you’re already a huge hockey fan, and you understood every nuance of the game. But there are a ton of people out there who are only hurt because they supported their country by tuning in. They just happened to see one of the most exciting hockey games ever. Before Vancouver, maybe they never saw a hockey game. Now, hockey made them care.
Someone made the decision to watch their NHL team’s next game. Some kid just made the choice to play hockey. Someone just learned the names Crosby, Miller, Luongo for the first time. Hockey has some new fans.
People are going to be talking about hockey tomorrow. So while Canada takes home the gold medal — and all due congratulations to them — it’s hockey as a whole that wins.

the united states got the most medals but canada set a new record for gold medals at 14. i think the u.s.a. finished with 37 medals. both countries did well.

Rematch in 2014?
US developmental showed great strides in these Games, as they did in juniors. I am so proud of the US team, and very happy for Brian Burke. Before the Olympics started, I was watching Hodge Stove Report with BB as guest, and he had me convinced the US was going to win gold. No doubt in his mind, per my read and he did a heck of a job picking the team. Chris Drury is a perfect example of a sage pick beyond the imaginations of the masses.
Hats off to Brian Burke.
Driving under the influence of hockey since godknow's when.
USA may go into 2014 as favorites. (and they’d be extra smart to try and snatch up BB for the coaching staff)

I’ve been thinking during the tournament that BB’s style would be awesome for an olympic team/tournament. Especially on international sized rinks.
I think we’re talking about different BB’s now.

Ha, yeah. I didn’t sleep last night at ALL. And to be fair “BB” is almost always Bruce Boudreau around here :)

wait, i think we’re all still talking different things. I meant Bruce. (who is the other BB?) I just don’t see Canada taking such an aggressively offensive-minded coach, but Brian Burke is the sort of guy who would take that gamble.
and as Dave Lewis said, coaching in the Olympics is not an opportunity you pass on, no matter what country asks you to coach.

The US is not close to being favorites over Canada, but we won’t sneak up on anyone next time. There will be even more intense competition for spots, and we’ll have more high end skill, but Canada is still far and away the deepest pond in international hockey. It’ll be nice to go in with some respect, we’ve come a long way.

I think it looks good but when you look at the names it’s by no means a lock he makes that team. But Team USA has been known to reward past stand out performances in international tournaments.

Sure, nothing’s guaranteed, it’s just a nice thought that there could be a Cap playing for USA (of course that’s also assuming he’ll be a Cap in four years as well).
I’ll be extremely disappointed if he’s not a Cap in 4 years. We better get back a killing if he leaves.

Gotta love the stream of talent coming out of the USNTDP. E. Johnson was starting to show flashes, kid could get scary-good by Sochi. Hopefully Carlson is ready to go by that point and J. Johnson starts to fulfill all that potential. Cam Fowler could be better than all of them.
The forwards coming up are pretty friggin’ sweet, too. I’m excited for the direction that USA hockey is headed.

We have speed. Tons of it at all levels. I love it.
EJ really looked like he’ll be a stud. We relied heavily on him and for the most part he did great. When you look forward though, how many open spots are there going to be? You figure that except for Rafalsk, Whitney, and Gleason they all return. You still have 4 incumbents, Martin, Komisarek, Bogosian then you start talking about Carlson and Fowler. For the first time we may be leaving excellent defensemen off our international roster.

I’m not sure if Drury will make the team in 4 years. He’s already over 30 and he’ll be over 35 by the time the next Olympics shows around.

We still have to think about the forwards who will (and will not) be available as well.

It’s also much more likely that a forward we’ve never heard of makes the 2014 team than a D because of the nature of their development. But I can start taking guesses at Fs as well, I’d rather just enjoy the Silver for a little bit before we start getting geared up for Sochi.

I wanted to share an incredibly gracious note I received from a Canadian gymnastics fan I spar frequently with over, well, everything.
Hey – I know you LOVE hockey. And hate Canada in hockey and Crosby in particular. And I hate that – because I am such a proud Canadian and proud Nova Scotian. But I just wanted to say that I hope don’t you feel too badly, because the USA did amazing. They rose to the occasion in an unbelievable way. Americans have a way of rising to victory and going above and beyond in a way that Canada just…doesn’t. 33 million people willed that goal by Crosby and we were lucky and we realize that! So kudos to your team and I hope you can celebrate their accomplishments and also celebrate Canada’s Games overall.

Yeah, the US definitely played their hearts out. I think they played quite similarly to Finland back in ‘06 in that it was an all team effort throughout (even if I’ll admit I was not impressed by Kessel). It was heart, grit and determination and a great representation of the Olympic ideals, I think. If I was American, I would certainly wear that jersey with pride.

I also was not impressed by Kessel. He was the weak link in the Maple Leafs on Team USA. I can definitely buy that comparison with the FIN team.

I gotcha. And I was just saying that I made a deal with myself that if USA won, I would get a jersey no questions asked. Now that they lost, I have to think on it. And full disclosure: I currently do not own any kids, but I may invest in a couple someday when the market plays out.

So who were you thinking of getting on the jersey? If Parise wasn’t a Devil I would get him hands down. But since he is I’d probably go with Suter. What a beast he was.

I was thinking of just getting a blank one. I really like Parise too, but I don’t want to even risk being mistaken as a Devils fan. Miller would be nice too, but the same thing applies about being mistaken for a Sabres fan.

respect to Mr. Crosby
I can’t even say “begrudging” respect. I dislike him as the best player on a rival team, but I honestly can’t muster up the hate any more. He is clutch, he is humble, and he is a good representative of the sport. So Mr. Crosby: congrats.

I think that’s what ultimately what won us all over so quickly. They played their hearts out from game one, and it’s hard not to root for that.
It is. It doesn’t hurt to have a player like Dustin Brown. I’d only ever read and heard about him. I never actually had the chance to watch him play. I have to say, I loved what i saw. Good thing he’s in the WC, so I don’t feel bad for occasionally rooting for the Kings.

Parise reminds me of a girl from our town who was absolutely perfect. The Straight A student who skipped a grade and was the best swimmer in town to boot. (She was actually only two weeks older than him.)
No, I wasn’t lucky enough to have a kid like Parise. My kid was more like Alex Semin.
