In the overtime period, the US women took many more shots than the Canadians ... it was almost as if the Canadians were tired and just playing defensively.

I watched the whole game. Canada came out with fire and team USA looked a bit nervous.. but as the game went on, team USA settled in and played fantastic the rest of the way. Shootout to end it is dumb though.

Yeah, I'm not well educated in hockey but my preference is keep on playing until sudden death/next score.

Curling replay is on now. Yawn, a little slow for me.

Well it was impossible to not get spoiled about the US Men's curling results this morning, but I watched anyway, and wow that 5-point end was incredible. I wouldn't have given you a dollar on the US chances this year when I saw who their skip was again, and looked like I was right to feel that way early in the tournament, but then everything just seemed to click for them. Well done Team USA!

Now someone needs to wake up US speedskating-no medals in Sochi, just one here.

It's a shootout in the NHL during the regular season and sudden death in the playoffs - should be the same in the medal games imho.

Curling puts me into a deep snore.

Russians will likely be banned from the next Olympics if this is true:

They're too busy planning the World Cup to care.

There's no way they get both the wc and Olympics in the same 5 year span without some obvious shenanigans.

Filled up nicely now. It was starting at noon after all.

1:1 midway through the 2nd

This gold medal hockey match is fun to watch. The outmatched Germans are playing great.

So close and then the “shorthanded“ (5:5 only due to the Goalie going off), damn ...

I get it in soccer where the players literally can't run anymore after 120' minutes due to the limited subs, but in hockey with it's line changes no reason you can't play until a winner.

Also, watching this(/any) OT, if they have 4-man/2-man bobsled, and potentially a 3v3 basketball tournament next Olympics, can we get a 3v3 hockey tournament?
