What an amazing game!

full on respect to the American hockey teams. You beat us the first time in the mens and that game was close.

I think you guys had a great team; especially Miller. He was just incredible.

But what a great game! What a great finish!

Canada has now won the most gold medals of any country ever at the winter games!

I was so dissapointed in how Canada they played in the last 15 min of the third. they were playing to stay alive, not to win.

They came back with a vengeance in OT. The US had nothing to offer in OT at all. We had them pressured and on the run.

Great game from our boys and The Kid comes through when it counts the most.

Big ups for coming back after having the game tied. It is really hard to get motivated after having the game tioed with 24 seconds left.

Thank you very much, Ape City, and CONGRATULATIONS AND VERY MUCH RESPECT TO CANADA AND IT'S ATHLETES FOR THEIR SUCCESS!!!

Amazing game..... but I'm pretty disappointed. I feel like the US team was the most solid all around. Total domination of every opponent throughout the tournament until the final game.

I was going to say the same thing. Shots on goal were around 41 to 19 for Canada Miller definitely won that first game for the US. It is possible to be the better team and still loose.

Great game today though by both teams. One of the best I watched in years.

You know that is gonna be an epic win for Canada to look back on in 20 years. Think about it the Shoot out with the Swiss then the loss to the US team. Then the comeback by the US in the finals with a dramatic goal to tie up the game with less than 30 seconds on the clock. Hell even the fact that Crosby who is sure to be a legend scored the winning goal will add to its legacy.

O Canada!

Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

People should give more love to Iginla, dude made the pass on his knees to Sid so he could score that goal. This win is going down in history books; if I didn't know better, I would say the whole thing was scripted.

Canada loses a heartbreaking 5-3 in the prelims despite out shooting the US 40-20(ish). Goes to dominate our arch rivals the Russians 7-3 to break the 50 year drought. Then we play a game against the Slovaks who upset both the Russians and Swedes (who are the defending champions) in a close 3-2 game.

Finally, at the gold medal game we go up 2-0 to only have the Americans climb back and score the tying goal with only 25s left to go. Then we come out guns blazing in OT and pressure the Americans until Sid the Kid scores the game winning goal. How crazy is that?

There were guys at the gym talking about how the Russians were out party'n the night before that game.

I think we got our Vancouver Ho's to thank for their lack luster performance... way to go Vancouver Ho's!

Note: Vancouver's athletes village used 100k of condoms for the 3k of athletes being housed there... dang, party central :D

I was very disappointed with the outcome of this game but America did better than expected. Luongo was pretty crappy though. He is an amazing goaltender usually but he had zero puck control that night and I was so frustrated that the US players weren't capitalizing on those rebound chances. As soon as they started doing it, they tied the game up.

Congrats to team Canada though. They had an amazing team full of superstar players. I actually like a lot of the players that are on that team, just had to root for my home country. I just wish anybody besides Crosby would have scored the winning goal. I can't stand Crosby even the slightest bit. :boo01:

The Americans got lucky the 1st game. Played much better then 2nd game.

Parise is a beast, i was saying that all night long, if i could pick one American to come play for Canada, its him. Makes sense considering his father is a canadian hockey hero from 1972.

I cant stand Brian Burke and Ron Wilson. two leafs losers. nice to see them lose again.
