OT: The Big One. US vs Canada Women's Hockey Gold medal game.

[eebmg]

It is a pity it is at 11:15PM but at least, no conflict with the UConn game. I hope I can stay awake. Talk about a vengeance game for the US.

 

[Bascomfan]

Don't bombard me for this, but I am rooting for Canada because as a fan of Kia Nurse I want her cuz to get the gold. Sorry.

 

[BigBird]

I think the Canadians have the emotional advantage. The U.S. is fueled by revenge motive, which often backfires on the would-be avengers.

Curiously it is only at the Olympics where Canada has "dominated." The US has won 7 of the last 9 World Championships, and leads the rivalry overall.

I can imagine Kia and her team mates watching the game after she plays tonight

Curious indeed. And about to change.

Revenge better work for UConn

I hope that Geno and CD allows them to stay up and watch the game together as a team.

The team has nothing to do till they play Saturday afternoon in Texas, so 100% they are up and watching.

I woldn't say they have nothing to do. School is still in session as far as I know, and since this isn't UNC we're talking about here, they have work to do while they are on the road and not playing or practicing basketball.

I doubt that study sessions are scheduled after a night game. They will be watching. Kia in 1 corner, everyone else in the other .

 

[BigBird]

2-1 Canada, 17:00, 3rd. Team USA is just “off” tonight. Not aggressive enough, not getting the puck to the net.

 

[eebmg]

Canada getting more shots on goal in the 3rd than US. with 13 minutes left. Come on.

 

[eebmg]

Just tied in up 2-2 6 minutes left. Come on.

 

[eebmg]

Chance on PP with 4 minutes. Much better pressure by US

 

[eebmg]

On boy. 2-2 OT coming. Much better energy by US but both teams at times coughing it up.

 

[UConnNick]

I can imagine Kia and her team mates watching the game after she plays tonight

They're flying to Dallas tonight.

 

[eebmg]

We dominated the OT even killing a 4-3 pp at the end but end as 2-2 and a shoot out. Crap. Mens team was knocked out on shootout .

 

[iri10]

Woo!

 

[Shades]

GOOOOOOOOOLD!

 

[eebmg]

WE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shoot out win on 6th round. Fantastic last goal. Glad I stayed up.

 

[huskeynut]

WOW - just WOW!!!!!!!

 

[Orangutan]

That Lamoureux goal to win was pure filth.

That's just not nice to do to that poor goalie.

 

[triaddukefan]

Well that certainly was exciting.

Not sure how long this video will last
