I really admire US women's hockey team. Talented, tough, Bet they win gold. Not so sure about men. Hope so. Canadia?

Yeah the US women are just on another level right now. Canada probably gives them a better fight in the gold medal game, especially with Poulin back.

It could end up being U.S. vs. Canada in men's hockey but the men's tournament as a whole is a bit deeper in terms of talent.

Re: NBC coverage. Pretty darned good, I say.

All those Captain and Tenille (sp?) commercials. Could swear I'm back in the 70s; I feel young again. Thanks.

That’s a tough game for the US. Sweden has a lot of good NHLers on their roster.

Go Czechia! Up 2-1 against Canadia right now in hockey. Why are Canada uniforms red and - black? Logo is all wrong too - we got maple leaves right here in Illinois. Should be a muskellunge or Gordon Lightfoot. But we got muskies right here in Illinois too. Slice or two of Canadian bacon? Just a thought. Lightfoot for sure is my vote.

Very clear to me Swedes were aggressors in third period. US on its heels.

We shall see.

A Winter Olympics classic comeback by the USA Women's Hockey team from a 1 goal deficit with less than 3 minutes on a tip in by Knight forcing overtime..........in a 3 on 3 overtime Keller scores the goal medal winner for a 2-1 victory...........

that was a very exciting game.........it really really was....................

Their first goal was fluky but good teams create their own luck. It’s been all Canada second period on.
