Well you didn't make it easy on yourselves, but you certainly earned this gold medal. Congratulations to the Canadians of this great league. It's always fun to talk a little smack between the US and Canada, but I'm really happy to see a great nation rewarded. Your boys play the game the right way and deserve all the accolades coming their way.
Aside from hockey, what a great job done in hosting the Olympics by Canada. Tremendous atmosphere with all the events. Great hospitality, which is nothing new. Your athletes put on a show on the greatest of stages.
Celebrate your greatness Canada! Job well done.

The Americans in Pitt know all about Sid .... what a terrific Golden Goal!
Huge props to IGGY for working that play to perfection and making the pass to Crosby. Iginla had an awesome tourney.
USA hockey is in TERRIFIC shape. Juniors were great and the Olympic team was second to only one. You must be happy with how they played after getting down 2-0 ... the difference was depth.

All I can say is WOW, what a game and what an Olympics. You guys had our hearts in our throats the whole game. Win or lose, I wouldn't have had it any other way. Overtime to decide. You did us proud boys.
Hats off to you guys south of the 49th. Your country did amazingly well in all the sports. Both of our countries set records for most medals by our own countries. WELL DONE!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! What a hockey game! GOLD CANADA GOLD! American hockey is in great shape. Sid the kid can up clutch as per usual.
Our nation doesn't get many opportunities to show off our pride, but these games were one of those few shining moments. I am so proud to be Canadian today. I'm sure most of us Canadians in this league had tears in their eyes, I know I did!
USA was great. Be proud of your boys! Thanks for a great game.

Couldn't agree more. Miller, Kesler, Parise, and Langenbrunner were exceptional... well done USA! For our side, I was stunned by the play of Nash as a third line energy guy... a great game all around. I'm proud to be a Canadian... we said we'd own the podium - failed in terms of numbers, but it's a great feeling of pride knowing that no other country has ever won 14 golds in one winter games. Hats off to all the Canadian Olympians, and a huge congratulations to the US for really owning the podium. An outstanding haul of bling of all shades! Way to go.

Canada won!!!!! YAY!!!! But the US has nothing to be ashamed of. Like the commentators were talking about on CTV, no one expected the States to get where they ended up. They figured Canada, Sweden and Russia were the teams to beat. So they should be proud too. I was ticked when they tied it since Canada was soooooo close to getting it done. But Sid the Kid pulls one out of his hat and gives Canada the gold. Awesome game. Actually both Canada and the States had an awesome Olympics period, nevermind their run in both men's and women's hockey. US had the most total medals and Canada had the most gold.

Congrats to our neighbors in Canada for the gold. What a clutch goal by Crosby, thats why he is a notch above all others in the sport.
What a great game. Proud of USA hockey. The future looks good for USA hockey.
