Our internet at work keeps crashing and the IT guys are telling us it's because there are too much traffic online from people watching the game. I think that's BS, but we aren't getting anything done at the office. I'm watching on my phone.

Canada played a ton in our zone. tons of pressure. USA could barely get anything going at the other end of the ice. Congrats canada.

The number of passes the US gave up in the third was just ridiculous.

Sucks but no surprise here, Canada just has all around better players, if Canada doesn't win gold every year it's an upset

good game, and good luck

US just couldn't even complete passes with each other, pretty pathetic performance. Canada deserved that win, although quick was still a beast in net.

Hats off to Quick, really the only reason the U.S. was in the game. Disappointing loss.

We all just really need to hug it out... and hope Canada snags another gold. ( And US the bronze. Quick did so good today.)

None of us will stop you. That was a great game to watch and very nerve wracking even if the ice was a little tilted. And people say hockey games without goals are boring.

great game but canada obviously deserved that win. U.S. looked great for the first half of the first period, after that it was pretty much just a stress test for quick until he finally broke. Amazingly he only let it one goal and managed to keep it close but canada was obviously the superior team. They seem to be clicking at the right time after not playing that well together for the majority of the tournament (at least up to their potential)

That's why alot of people hate soccer. They don't understand the game, don't see goals, and think it sucks.


Great game to watch, would have been better for me if US won. Not gonna root for Sweeden over Canada. North America Pride!

im a soccer player and i respect hockey so much more than any other sport. i mean i watch bball/football/baseball but none of those sports are as fast paced as hockey. i love that there are not a ton of tv timeouts/bullshit fouls that slow the game. it's pure entertainment and that was one hell of a game.

I would have agreed with you a couple of years ago, but then I was introduced to rugby. There is no sport I respect more.

Stoked on the outcome of the game today!

Rugby is the best sport. Played it for 5 years and loved the game, no sport beats that.
