    This is one of the best hockey games I've ever watched.

    I was switching between that and the Russian ice skaters doing their strange aboriginal dance. Anyone else catch that? A little bewildering. I was actually kinda embarrassed for them.

    What an incredible game! From start to finish, it was a nail biter! I'd love to see a rematch in the gold medal game next Sunday. Today's game was close enough that a rematch could go either way. Miller was incredible, and Team Canada was amazing. Brodeur missed a couple of shots he should have saved.

    Wow. What a game. I wish they'd use larger pucks, though. Unfortunately, my binoculars wouldn't focus that close. I watched men's curling (Canada vs. Great Britain) and could actually see the stones.

    Pisses me off to not be able to see it in HD. That's the only way to watch hockey.
    A rematch for the final would be sweet but it was hard enough today not to root for the Sharks' #1 line on the Canada team.

    Again... you need a larger TV.

    The Sharks actually have fans? Huh. I guess you learn something new every day.

    The Shark Tank is a great place to watch a game. The fans know their hockey
    Are the Avs actually in the NHL anymore?

    I only got to see bits of the game but I understand it was good. Heard that Miller was awesome in net. My Dad had a small stroke yesterday morning and is in the hospital, so I was pretty busy and distracted when it came to watching the game. Dad comes first....I can always watch the next game. Let's hope for a rematch in the final.

    Sorry to hear about your dad. Strokes are pretty common in our family. I hope it's not a really serious one.

    A really good game. The old guys just got out-hustled.
    I think that Brodeur will have to remove that 'USA' printed on the handle of his stick. :clap:

    Surprisingly, the Av's have a winning record this season, Jon! It's a departure from last season; that's for sure.

    Sorry to hear about your dad, Wendy. Hope it wasn't/isn't too serious.

    Thanks guys....it was a great game. A real nailbiter and both teams played their best. I didn't get to see it as I was at an orchid show....we were getting updates on cell phones and a cheer went up in the sales area for each goal. I listened to overtime while driving home and Crosby scored as I turned onto our street. We live in a University neighbourhood and it was cool to watch kids coming out to the street to party. I could hear the whole area yelling and screaming when I got out of my truck...party on kids!

    Let's meet again...four years from now in Russia. :D With all the talent on skates it will be anyone's Gold medal! :clap:
