The US medal tally was the most medals ever for a Winter Olympics. - Andie Feb 28, 15:44 10

"We. Own. This. City!" nm - Dignan Feb 28, 15:26
If the NHL can't parlay their last 2 big time telecasts into fan interests, it ain't happening. Pens/Caps and now this game. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 28, 15:22 3
- NHL needs to get their asses back on ESPN -- nm - jingoist pixie Feb 28, 15:24 1
  - There's talk that a mainstream network is interested, iirc. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 28, 15:24
- What channel will it be on? Versus? ESPN 11? -- nm - Redmond Feb 28, 15:23
ahh Blade Runner on TV -- nm - Danedukenuuk Feb 28, 15:16
even a jingoist like me has to admit this is the *perfect* ending to these games for Canada - jingoist pixie Feb 28, 15:13 2
- From no gold medals ever on home turf to 14 in one games is an amazing triumph. -- nm - David Feb 28, 15:15 1
  - Yeah.....that's right; that's a new high water mark for golds in one Games. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 28, 15:16
ok, hockey done, time to play borderlands -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 28, 15:13

A Stanley Cup and a game winning Olympic gold medal goal. I think he can retire now. nm - Dignan Feb 28, 14:59 5
- I was just trying to say to Kelly, as long as it's not him scoring the goal, I can .... *scores the goal* - Will Hunting Feb 28, 15:09 1
  - Amusingly, it was like the least-dramatic goal EVER. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Feb 28, 15:10
- It was a pretty important goal in that regard since he blew the 1 on 1 a minute before we scored in regulation. - David Feb 28, 15:01 1
  - That's called a "breakaway" sideburns. - Shaun Feb 28, 15:56

- like anyone drinks that. -- nm - Andie Feb 28, 14:57 6
  - they were chugging it on the ice! -- nm - jingoist pixie Feb 28, 14:59 5

        nah, he's over 19. -- nm - Andie Feb 28, 15:16 1
        
        I'm going to be a Sid the Kid 'birther'....produce a Birth Certificate. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 28, 15:17

that was a great game. -- nm - Andie Feb 28, 14:54
the us defense looked confused there, but that was a great game. - tRuMaN Feb 28, 14:54 1
- They were clearly superior 4 on 4. -- nm - David Feb 28, 14:56
*tips cap* -- nm - David Feb 28, 14:54 1

i only got home at the start of the 3rd. when was the last power play? - prayformojo Feb 28, 14:53
This isn't NHL style, right? So if OT ends, they go to shootout? (nm) - musubi Feb 28, 14:48
it's the final countdown! -- nm - jingoist pixie Feb 28, 14:44
Just a non hockey thing...there's not enough medals left for the US to lose this medal count lead, right? - Will Hunting Feb 28, 14:44 11
- correct. this is the last contested event. -- nm - Diva Feb 28, 14:44
- This is the last medal event (and according to the way the rest of the world counts medals, Canada wins the Olympics) -- nm - Roger More Feb 28, 14:44 6
  - the rest of the world only counts gold? - jingoist pixie Feb 28, 14:46 5
    - nature's first green is total medals won -- nm - prayformojo Feb 28, 14:50
    - China is considered to have won the Summer Olympics even though we had 10 more medals. Canada had a tremendous second week this year. -- nm - David Feb 28, 14:48 3
      - sure but if they didn't want to count third place, they wouldn't give out bronze medals -- nm - jingoist pixie Feb 28, 14:50 2
        
        They don't give out medals to countries, but to athletes. The IOC releases medal tables with the winner of the most gold in first - Roger More Feb 28, 14:56
        
        let's call it a tie.:) -- nm - Andie Feb 28, 14:55
- overall medal count, yeah. The cross country was the last non-hockey event, IIRC. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 28, 14:44
- i don't believe so. but not enough to catch canada for the gold lead either - jingoist pixie Feb 28, 14:44
- this is it' -- nm - Andie Feb 28, 14:44

- i'm glad you think so. - Andie Feb 28, 14:43
did reagen's b.i.l. end up going to the game? - jingoist pixie Feb 28, 14:37 3
- If he sold, this is his nightmare scenario. -- nm - TFox Feb 28, 14:50 2
  - ... as he uses the money to buy a new car... -- nm - Andie Feb 28, 15:36 1
    - still, you never want to see the game you sold tickets to end up being an ideal game. -- nm - TFox Feb 28, 15:37
the hockey announcers should get a medal for hyperbole. -- nm - b! Feb 28, 14:37
Hockey is the big winner here. nm - Dignan Feb 28, 14:35 2
- [deleted]

        This game should end like an 80s sports movie. -- nm - Max Feb 28, 14:39 5
        
        What 80s sports movie was that, Max? I blame you. -- nm - David Feb 28, 15:10
        
        There's no easy way out. There's no shortcut home. -- nm - David Feb 28, 14:42 1
        
        Cue some spirited Michael Sembello-produced music, with rock vocals -- nm - Facto Feb 28, 15:23
        
        But has there been a sports training montage yet? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 28, 14:41

"Canada Hockey Place" was really the best name they could come up with for this complex? - prayformojo Feb 28, 14:03 8
- Jaques Rogge memorial arena? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Feb 28, 14:15
- 'Room 206' would be a better name :) -- nm - peglegpete Feb 28, 14:07 1
  - Sounds like a great club name -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Feb 28, 14:08
- I think it's charming. But dumb. All due to a ban of corporate branding for facility names. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Feb 28, 14:05
- It normally has another name (GM Place, I think) but GM isn't an Olympic sponsor so it has a temporary Olympic name -- nm - Roger More Feb 28, 14:05 3
  - the stupid thing is GM *IS* a sponsor, aren't they? -- nm - Andie Feb 28, 14:08 2
    - Nope. -- (link) - Krusty Feb 28, 14:13
