    I agree that the better team won, but I still hate the shootout. Yes, overtime sucked and they looked tired, but I blame that on the fact that it was 4-on-4 on a huge sheet of ice. It weighs the game heavily in favour of the faster team (which is clearly the US) and it alters the entire dynamic. It's a gold medal game, so just let them duke it out 5-on-5 until someone scores. I hate the sudden change in rules in a playoff overtime format. It's ridiculous.

    That said, they all knew the rules going in, and again, the better team won.

    Was shocked how tired the Canadian girls appeared to be. They shortened the bench a bit but not enough to warrant that level of fatigue. Its gotta be tough playing 4 on 4 on big ice tho.

    Great game, Canadians had there chance with that late 4 on 3 PP but didnt deliver. I wasnt even that upset when it ended, USA has had such heartbreaking losses in Olympic history, they deserved this win.

    US women held up better and frankly were faster and made better passes.

    I question a couple of decisions by the Canadian coach but in the end a very entertaining game and both sides should be proud.

    PS - no mention in the ramblings? No fantasy value but still worth a shout out imo.

    I know this is just a "Hockey" thread but a 2nd OAR was caught doping. First the curler, now a bobsledder Nasezhda Sergeeva who placed 12th in the 2-man event failed.

    The substance found was trimetazdine, a medication used for angina sufferers that is listed by the World Anti-Doping Agency as a banned substance affecting metabolism.

    Is it too soon after defeat to jump on the Germany bandwagon and cheer for them over OAR?

    And even more if they followed that bet up. At a convention with a German friend who is wearing his Deutschland jersey and is as happy as a pig in schnitzel.

    My first thought when Germany and Russia square off:

    Poor Poland.

    This gold medal game felt so dirty and just not right.. I wasn't a fan of this entire Olympic hockey tournament..
