Anyone who watched the ladies hockey in the olympics just now will know what I mean!
DAMN THAT FELT GOOD!!!
She scores, we win. Sorry guys. We’re in the final!
In your face!
somehow I thought that this would be about another kind of scoring… 
Come back at 3 am tonight. It’s a bit early still. 
Gonna be playing some hockey, eh?
I know EXACTLY how you feel - I just saw on the BBC our Scottish lads
are tanking your boys 7-2 in curling!!!

Its about time someone else stepped up in women’s hockey. So far it has been entirely dominated by the US and Canada. Well done, Sweden!

Looks like you guys aren’t doing too well. For your information, we just beat you in the mens hockey as well.
Isn’t that sweet?!
Fabulous game, Martin was brilliant.
Americans are having a good deal of trouble with those 5 on 3’s, to the credit of the Swedes today and the women’s game.
The Canadian captain made the prediction before the games that she really doubted that they would be facing the Americans this time around, they just weren’t as impressive as past years.
Congratulations Sweden! (Don’t you just love watching Daniel Alfredsson play?)
Yeah - the Americans (men, didn’t get a chance to see the women play) just weren’t “together” in their play.
Although - what’s with the penalty when the American hit the puck while he was trying to get his helmet back on? I understand about the “playing with dangerous equipment” thing - that just seems a weird penalty.
I hate watching hockey on TV - I’m following the puck, while the cameras aren’t. My eyes are going back out to the blueline, while the camera is still focused on the goal. Drives me nuts.
I live in a town that can’t even keep a darn AHL team in business. One of these days I’ll get up to Columbus to see the Blue Jackets…
Yeah, but Weight knew the rules. No playing without a helmet and if it is knocked off, you go straight to the bench. It was obvious from the way he was scrambling around that he knew that was the case. Strange maybe, but I’m sure the GMs back in North American appreciate the rule.
When did curling become an olympic sport??? 
Here is a fun Video clip with the swedish goals from the womens game, with the swedish comentators. Hilarious stuff, you don’t have to understand the words. 
BTW, you guys are just too good sports about this 
Could it be that not too many americans have replied? That could be a bit satisfying anyway. It’s not as fun when canadians reply. We’ll see how it goes tonight.
I personally think it’s really boing to root for the dominant teams. (unless the sport is college basketball ad the team is Duke.)
Congratulations to both the Swedish and American women’s hockey teams. Well fought and well won!
I especially liked both the women’s and men’s hockey teams for Italy. Even though they took a drubbing in every game they never gave up the fight right to the last second. Well done!

All’s well that ends well!

Way to go gang - made us proud!
Yeah… sort of anti-climactic though. A gold medal game shouldn’t be won by more than 2 goals. Can’t beat shootouts for international competitions.
What did you guys think of the Swedish goal? I thought it was brilliant. It was a little trick they had been practicing in the dark and managed to hide away from canadian spies.
11 passes back and forth behind the canadian goal, which made everyone on the ice stand still in their positions, wondering what the feck they were doing. Then a quick pass up to a player on the blue line who takes the shot.
Anyway, good game Canada. I’m pretty happy even though we lost the gold. To be honest, the game versus USA felt more important some how. Just wait until Vancouver 2010!
Yeah, the games you win usually do feel more important!
But seriously, the Swedes kept Martin out against the Canadians the first time around because the coach didn’t see a victory there, but could invision a victory against the Americans. Vancouver will certainly be interesting with a good chunk of the Canadian team hanging up their jersey’s and the Euro-teams (especially the Swedes) just coming into their own.
That’s not really what I meant. It felt more important before the game as well. I was way more excited and nervous before the USA game. And when we won, it felt great. It would have felt amazing if they won the gold as well, but before the final, I didn’t care so much wether they won or lost. At least we had the silver, and that was historic.
