The hockey game between Canada and the USA was the best game I've ever watched, way to do it Canada! Right after the game as I was heading over to the "Canada Hockey Place" or better known as GM Place around here before the Olympics, the streets were full of life, cars honking, flags waiving, people singing. Then I took skytrain and everywhere people singing, hi-fiving! Everything was just so amazing I couldn't believe it.

The closing ceremonies were epic, I was lucky enough to get the tickets as a gift from our clients and what a gift it was. I am so proud to be Canadian! 14 Gold medals!!! 14!!! YEAH!


The Olympics brought us all that much closer together! See you in Sochi in 2014!!! (I am already saving up for that trip hehehe).

I cant wait either 2014 will be great.

I dont know how long the canadan team is going to be celebrating I think some of the players have NHL matches coming up.

4 on 4 was interesting in overtime. U.S. was definantly cautious in the 4 on 4.

It was a great game. I think there was 10-12 minutes left in ot.

At least the team captain of the pittsburgh penguins scored the winning goal. good job sidney crosby.

It was a good match. The canadian national hockey coach had to go to another hockey game.

I saw the slovak vs. Canada game. Slovak had a pretty good team I wonder if some of the players play on russian teams.
Sidney Crosby a proud Canadian!!

Since when did politics and sports mix? The Russian were embarrassed but it is no since in acting that way about it. Russia hasn't been a sports powerhouse since the break up of the Soviet Union. Ever since then they have been on a down hill slide... The U.S. hockey team was the best team in the tournament but didn't play like it against the Canadian team. Anyways I was cheering for the Ukrainian team hoping for a medal but they do better in the Summer Olympics and will do so in 2012 Olympics in London, England. On a high not for being an American the U.S.A. set the record for the most medals ever in Winter Olympics History.

Bold claim, USA's hockey team was always second best, which is hwy they didn't get the gold. Canadians dominated them the first time they met, yet it was the US goalie who made more saves and ultimately saved their game.

After unhappy starts in Canada our team takes one medal after another in different other tournaments. The most recent examples are the gold and bronze medals of sisters Semerenko in European championship on biathlon in Estonia.

These are the same Vita and Valia who didn’t win in Vancouver - they must have done it, but… Let’s wish them and others more successful starts in this and other tournaments. Some cry for Canada , China … but we stand for our team - Go Ukraine !
