I was shocked when I turned it on to see not only Canaday losing, but no score!

i just got done watching the game from my DVR, nice. There were some great hits in the game, and Suisse was a shocker. They have really stepped up for the Olympics. Hopefully Team USA can get there crud together.

I was amazed at the shots on goal that Canada had Vs. The Swiss during the third period. They were totally outplayed, and I think the swiss goalie did an amazing job. Just amazing.

Let's not talk about that:D

Looks like the USA and Canada aren't that great in hockey anymore:(

Just interesting to note:
Country Population GDP/Capita
Finland 5,223,442 $30,300
Switzerland 7,489,370 $35,000
Sweden 9,001,774 $29,600
Czech Republic 10,241,138 $18,100
Canada 32,805,041 $32,800
Russia 143,420,309 $10,700
USA 295,734,134 $41,800

I wonder if there's any kind of predictor hidden in there.

What would that make the medal per capita ratio??????

I guess we can't know until these olympics are over, since these are all 2005 estimates. I'm pretty sure that the gdp/capita plays a part in there, though. I mean, it has to.

Nice Job from the Tre Kronors!!!! I diden't think they would come back.

WOOOHOOOOOOO!

I think we did a better job of playing the referees. The Finns made it hard for themselves to score with all the penalties they made. And as ... bill clement (?) said, no human could have stopped that slap shot.

It's a good last olympics for them though. Forsberg started out his career with an OS gold, and is ending it with gold.

Real shame for Russia, though.

Sorry to rub it in bruno, but we won again.
First time a team has won both Olympic and World Cup gold.

Of course, OLN, "Hockey Central" had no coverage.

i was pissed the game wasn't on anywhere.

Bowling and poker get better ratings than hockey!

hey i feel like I won to because most Americans don't know the difference between Sweden and Switzerland:)
I usually tell those people that I am from Swederland and then they are totally confused.

Hah! Awesome. I've always wanted to make a false headline about a war between Sweden, Switzerland, and Swaziland. Readers might think it's a civil war.
