I watched it with 5 Canadian's. There were alot of sour grapes when I asked them if they thought their team was over-rated? Struggled to beat Switzerland and beaten by the US. The guys actually agreed but the girlfreind's were not happy at my lack of jingoism saying I would never "fit in".

I just replied "Don't worry maybe in 4 years time....."

USA was better and deserved to win, it's as simple as that.

Sounds like how Kiwi's feel about the All Blacks. They think they're the best even when they suck....:huh:

Yes I drew my 4 more years from when the Australians taunted the Kiwi's back in 2003. Unfortunately no one has the divine right to win.

On the postive side I have fallen in love with Mellisa Hollingsworth:wub:

She is my new heroe-ess or is it heroine???

...I know very little about iced hockey, but I'm guessing that if a pup wearing an "Oilers" collar tried to bite my ar$e it would probably miss.

Fair enough, that might do it. ;)

It isn't really true. Both teams played well. The game was decided by the goalies. The US goalie played a blinder. The Canadian goalie cocked up a few times, expensively. Canada outshot the USA 45-23.

It was a lovely game, both teams did their best. Bravo for the Olympics.

I'm not sure that "lovely" is an appropriate word for a mens' hockey game but it was indeed a very good game. Imagine what the score would have been if the goalies had swapped shirts at the start.
