Added: Canada is in same group as US, this will be the toughest competition

[GordonH]

So with women's team the only real competition is US, that should not mean playing any less against any of the teams they meet.

[GordonH]

First game went as suspected, 5 to 0 for Team Canada. Second game should be similar

[GordonH]

Big show down tonight at 7:10pm
Canada vs USA in last preliminary round game for both teams.

Go Canada Go

[GordonH]

So the Semi Finals are set:
Finland vs US on Sunday on Sunday at 8:10 PST

More the likely.... Finland vs Olympic Athletes from Russia for Bronze & USA vs Canada for Gold

Bronze game on at 11:40pm Tuesday

Gold game on at 7:10pm Wednesday

[the truth]

that's how it should play itself out

I know this highly doubtful, I wouldn't mind if Fin's totally surprise the US tonight & upset them.

Congratulations to US on your gold medal victory.

As I've before, I'm not a fan/supporter of the shootout.... leave it to soccer field.

Added: the goal that US scored to tie up the game in 3rd period, was huge line change mistake by Canada.

The US was the better team. Faster, more aggressive. Canada spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to get out of their own end.

[the truth]

seems to me reff's called a few to many penalties on team canada that were bs

I only watched the first 2 periods and the penalties that were called against Canada were valid but the refs missed calling some against the US. Having said that you can't blame ref'ing if you lose you can only blame yourself or the fact that the other team played better.

[Snman]

USA was dominant, they usually are. We just have been lucky at the Olympics, up until now. No lack of effort, the Yanks were just better. imho

[the truth]

yup they were the better team over all. very fast team
