Lack of heart from Americans. You wanted gold, but you didn't get it. Too bad. You don't quit. You are representing your country and should do the best you can regardless of circumstances.

Sami Salo can still rip it.

Another PS.

Sweden has earned 10 more PPs than Canada.
I hate that they have Canadian refs reffing Canada's games. That puts them in an awkward position where any PP they give Canada will be over-scrutinized. Maybe they are the best refs in the world, but I think it is a tough position to put them in.

yes, but have to win gold in mens hockey to be complete joy.
Definitely the cherry on top.
According to my Sochi App, there are 9 sets of medals yet to be handed out:
1. Women's cross-country (30k) (A lot of Norwegians and Russians in this one, a couple Canadians)
2. Women's parallel slalom (Qualification for finals will be decided tonight, three Canadians competing)
3. Men's parallel slalom (Qualification for finals will be decided tonight, three CDNs competing)
4. Men's Team Pursuit Finals (Canada has a shot at a medal)
5. Women's Team Pursuit Finals
6. Men's biathalon relay
7. Men's 50km X-country
8. Men's bobsled
10. Men's hockey

If you aren't a fan of watching Drew Doughty in this tournament, you're probably not a fan of hockey. Forget the name on the sweater, he's been fun to watch.

Not saying it should be all on Ovechkin. Just saying that he would be the most obvious person to blame if I were a disgruntled fan that did not pay attention to games.
Fixed for you. The coach was brutal, the selection of KHL players was brutal. The use of KHL players in key situations was mind-boggling. If Team Canada's biggest political controversy was MSL over Giroux, we're laughing.

I was actually wondering about that. Earlier in the games, they were making a big deal over how Alex Bilodeau was the first to repeat as a Gold medalist for Canada...
The ladies above must have been thinking "Say what?"
I think they were saying that he was the first Olympian to win repeat golds in moguls.
EDIT: 8-2 Canada in the 7th end.
-
they have lehtenin and niemi still. No worries for them.
Canada 2nd in medal standings. Can get another gold in mens curling today. Go team Jacob.
Couple opportunities in short track as well.
-
the way they were playing? yeah, that should have been a shutout. 15 shots against?
You have a problem with a .933 sv%? The type of percentage that would put you into the top 2 in the NHL?

never used the "ignore" feature, may have to look into it.
Near the top of the page on the right hand side below the banner add you just click on your username and then 'Manage Ignore Prefs'.

Wouldn't it be funny if the men's and women's hockey teams medaled the same as last year?
Wasn't it: CAN:Gold USA:Silver FIN:Bronze, for both?
Well Finland is out for women's but just replace Finland with Sweden for both.
Can't happen. It is not possible for Canada US to place gold-silver because they play one another in the semis.

I was looking forward to the Olympics, figured I wouldn't have to listen to all the whining that normally goes on around here with Canucks games. Man, was I wrong...
Its actually not that many users, just a small few who are really obnoxious about it. I just use the board's 'ignore' function, that way I can't even see the gibberish that a lot of them write.

They shouldn't have a Canadian ref in this game.
-
Healy is embarrassingly arrogant and unfit to be a voice representing Canadian taxpayers.

This is terrible to watch.

Pathetic dive by Malkin.
EDIT- NVM. Not a dive.

Loved watching this game four years ago:
EDIT: linked wrong video

Hate the way Russians play. Looks like Canada at the World Juniors this year. A bunch of individuals.

Had the same problem using windows 8. Tried a different machine running windows 7 and it worked. Try and use desktop version of chrome. Change it in settings. Shot in the dark but might work.
Thanks! I'll try that. Chrome was working on my work computer today (shhhh), so maybe its the fact that my laptop is using the non-desktop windows 8.1 version that is the issue.

Just looking over the medal count from Vancouver in 2010 and up to now and there is no way Canada duplicates what they did here..26 total in 2010 and 14 gold.we finished first in Gold in Vancouver..as of now we have 4 gold and even if we win both hockey golds and both curling, still no way come close..
We have 15 total medals now and to be honest I cant see another 11 medals being won by Canada.........the Netherlands won 8 medals in Vancouver and already have 17.
Just thought it was interesting, and who knows what could happen.
I would consider the Sochi Olympics a success for Canada. Just goes to show how incredibly well Canada performed in Vancouver. Tough to ever replicate again.

Virtue and Moir take silver.

Since the Diaz trade, Price has looked awesome. Luongo? Not so much.
Strange, since he was supposed to help our pitiful, broken-up defense,
I feel sorry for the people who have to live with you.

I can't stream any videos on CBC/TSN using Google Chrome. No issues with IE. Anybody else have the same issue or know how to correct the problem?

This is so stupid for both teams.
