I just realized that I'm used to seeing Parise's team lose in the final minute of an elimination game.

Tigercat · 02-28-2010, 04:44 PM

Best finish to a winter olympics ever? Top nation in total medals vs top nation in golds, squaring off in the marquee sport, in overtime.

I am not a hockey guy at all, are many of us against going to a shootout because it takes away from a well played game, because Canada has a real advantage there, or both?

whomario · 02-28-2010, 04:44 PM

Journey FTW, love the music at hockey games. All the songs you don´t dare to own but still love to listen to everytime they are on

I'm against it going to a shootout because it's akin to ending a tied Super Bowl with a field goal kicking contest.

bbor · 02-28-2010, 04:46 PM

Why did they change ends?That's dumb......long changes for both teams now.

Pumpy Tudors · 02-28-2010, 04:47 PM

I just realized that jbergey was right all along. I guess this IS the fourth quarter.

Had to be Crosby, too, didn't it?

SI

JediKooter · 02-28-2010, 04:54 PM

Great game though.

Pumpy Tudors · 02-28-2010, 04:54 PM

Hell of a finish. Great game to watch.

mauchow · 02-28-2010, 04:54 PM

Canada was getting way too many good shots and finally capitalized on one.

jbergey22 · 02-28-2010, 04:54 PM

Crap, cant believe we let Crosby play hockey in Minnesota.

Good game, Congrats Canada.

No, it is a relatively recent change in both the NHL and international play.

DaddyTorgo · 02-28-2010, 04:54 PM

Seemed like the US guys were far more back on their heels during the OT, so wasn't really a huge surprise I guess.

Not exactly. In the regular season, the NHL plays 4-on-4 overtime, but it's only 5 minutes before a shootout. In the playoffs, the NHL plays full 5-on-5 20-minute overtime periods until somebody scores.

sterlingice · 02-28-2010, 04:55 PM

Still, fitting that one of the two best players in the world won the Olympics.

Nothing for the US (or Ryan Miller) to hang their head about. Taking Canada on their home ice to OT. Really nice showing and a far cry from "thrown out of their hotel for partying too hard".

SI

Lathum · 02-28-2010, 04:55 PM

Pick your head up Ryan Miller we wouldn't be near this game without you

cartman · 02-28-2010, 04:56 PM

Hell of game. Congrats to the Canucks!

whomario · 02-28-2010, 04:57 PM

great, great play on that "give and go" kind of situation. I don´t know much about hockey, but even i recognized that

Philliesfan980 · 02-28-2010, 04:58 PM

I'll tell you what, I haven't watched hockey really since the early 00's (got tired of the Flyers crap year after year), and wow, what a game.

Watching this game makes me want to tune into more games during the regular season... and I thought I'd never say that.

yacovfb · 02-28-2010, 04:58 PM

When's the rubber match? :P

Great game, disappointing result especially with the renewed hope with that last US goal.

Pumpy Tudors · 02-28-2010, 05:01 PM

Seeing the replay, it's amazing how Crosby made Rafalski look so pedestrian on that final goal.

Regular season resumes tomorrow, and the Devils are back on the ice Tuesday. I'm looking forward to a lot of good hockey over the next few months.

Suburban Rhythm · 02-28-2010, 05:06 PM

I work with a Flyers fan (yes there are two in Pittsburgh, Sak and this guy).

Just before OT, he sends a text "If Crosby wins it, I'll be out sick all week"

I text back about 2 mins ago "Eh-vian flu?"

johnnyshaka · 02-28-2010, 05:06 PM

I can finally breathe.

What a finish...from tying it up to the OT winner...can't ask for a better game than that.

JediKooter · 02-28-2010, 05:07 PM

Are all the american players named Ryan?

sterlingice · 02-28-2010, 05:14 PM

I'm sorry, but I can't help but think this the fitting end to the Canadian Olympics (the whole arena singing "Oh, Canada" after this win)

SI

whomario · 02-28-2010, 05:14 PM

i love how they trot those mounties out everytime there´s a camera and/or mass of people near by, a police corp as a mascot, how cool is that ?

It is and it was a great atmosphere at basically all events (even when canada didn´t have a shot at a medal), people really embraced that event and made it their own.

I have a feeling many more people share this sentiment. What a great shot in the arm for Hockey, these Olympics may have done more for the sport in America than any single thing since Lake Placid, at least in the short term.

Helluva game by both teams, Ryan Miller was outstanding this whole tournament and the USA played their asses off. Congrats to Canada and I have to say the atmosphere at the end with the whole arena singing was something to behold.

Chief Rum · 02-28-2010, 05:27 PM

Am I the only one who was yelling at the TV every time Crosby came on during the medal ceremony, "Okay, now punch him in the face!"

Chief Rum · 02-28-2010, 05:28 PM

BTW, if Bettman doesn't allow NHLers in Sochi, I will literally punch him in the face if I ever get the chance to meet him.
