I'm not watching the Olympics generally, but I may have to on this. I can't think of anything the Canadians are known for other than hockey.

I'm not a big Olympic fan, but I watched a bit of the biathalon earlier today. Cool stuff.

Interesting hockey fact, Olympic ice is larger than NHL ice. The NHL opted for a smaller size to create a faster, theoretically higher scoring game to keep the fans interested.

"Denied!" All I have is local air NBC, and all that's going on now is downhill skiing.

Looks like NBC has finally found a way to get me to watch MSNBC. At least very briefly.

Freaking NCTC who I have my cable through is showing normal MSNBC. Keep us posted. I'm relegated to watching the Amazing Race right now with the wife. Thank goodness Axe Men comes on in a few minutes. Then it's MADHOUSE and to bed!

About 12 minutes left in the 2nd, tied at 2.

end of 2nd 3 to 2 USA!!!!

[56FordGuy]

The US will go into the 3rd with about a minute left on the powerplay, too.

[USMCJG]

4-2 USA. Just scored on the PP. ~13:00 left.

[56FordGuy]

Wow y'all are quick.

I believe that was Rafalsky's 3rd goal, for an Olympic hat trick.

[G27]

4-2 - YES!

Go USA!

Give Blood!!!

[USMCJG]

4-3 USA. Canada just scored with :06 left on the PP. It's going down to the wire. ~3:00 left.

[Rightwinger]

I'm just pressing refresh on this thread, keep up the play by play....it's like being there.

Not really but you all are doing really well.

[USMCJG]

[56FordGuy]

USA just scored an empty netter with :45 left. 5-3 USA.

Scored it one handed, on a backhand shot, as he was falling. Awesome.

[56FordGuy]

Game over! USA wins, 5-3!

USA is 3 of 3!

[G27]

USA just scored an empty netter with :45 left. 5-3 USA.

Yes!

It's not 1980, but this is a GREAT win!

[USMCJG]

It looks like the USA is going to take it now. For about 2 minutes there the USA couldn't clear the zone and Canada was just tossing the puck at the net non stop. Great job by Miller in goal and by the US defensemen blocking shots. Great game. It's a final now USA 5 Canada 3.

[Mr. Brooks]

Woot!

[Guest jackdm3]

Gotta be embarassing.
