They would still win silver if they lost against us in the final.

OMG 12 GOLD!!!! OMG!!!


TOTALLY UNEXPECTED, AND A 13TH COMING UP FOR CURLING!!

yeah I read his post wrong.

I want to see a shutout tomorrow, Miller will destroy, go U.S.of.A

I want it to come down to a shootout for the gold & Syd the Kid winning it for Canada

13TH GOLD!


SO, SO WELL DESERVED. Such a thrilling game! I'm very happy for Kevin Martin


We are now officially tied with Norway and Soviet Union for most gold ever. Hopefully the men's hockey team will make it a new record at 14 tomorrow.

All the game tomorrow's gonna decide is whether or not Canada can break the record for gold medals at a single Winter Olympics. And bragging rights, of course.

Or, what Box said.

Also, this was our 25th medal! So, A NEW RECORD for Canada!

First gold for US 4 man bobsled team in 62 years

Congrats Canada! What a second week you have had.

Tomorrow's TV rating is going to be huge. Haven't really looked at the data, but possibly 30m+ viewers?

in Canada ??


no, I would say well over 20 million

20m is impossible. You can't have 2/3rds of the whole country watching a game. I'd put it at 15m at most, but maybe 13.5-14m.

If Canada doesnt win today.....ti will declare war to USA.

The sad thing is IF Canada does win.....everybody in Canada will only remember that gold medal. And the other 13 can go and cry in the corner.

"Hey dude I won also Gold in Vancouver"
"Wow yeah Vancouver our Hockey Boys.....Yeah.Yes. Who the fuck are you again?"

lol you had 84% of the German population watching world cup of soccer match against Italy in 2006.

Goooooooaaaaaaalllllll! Tied 2-2 Going to OT

close enough

That was one of the best hockey games I've seen in a long time.

Obivously, I'm disappointed with the result (espically since of all people, Crosby had to be the hero) but it was an exhilarting game to watch. A fantastic end to an overall great Olympics. My favorite winter Olympics of all time.

So, why does everyone hate Crosby (especially)? I know nothing of this hockey of which you speak.

Only the Yanks hate him.

CONGRATS CANADA!!!


OMG SO HAPPY. PERFECT FINISH!

One of the best hockey games of all time.

This will be a historic moment in Canadian history.

Perhaps one of the biggest national unity events in the longest time.

Americans may says, Its only Hockey, but the whole country, Vancouver to Newfoundland, Toronto to the North pole is celebrating...



I swear to God, when OT was on there was hardly a car on the highways (checking the local channel), the whole country was glued...

I would imagine 25+ million were watching the end.

I was at Yorkdale Mall during the game and they had TV screens set up and people just stopped and watched. Great moment of togetherness.


I think only countries like Germany, Italy, and Brazil with their obsession with football can understand the magnitude of the event. Americans don't really have a comparative event. This is several times the magnitude of the Super Bowl, which after all happens every year.

Eh, I think if American men's soccer went to the World Cup final it'd be similar. There was a lot of bonding over the women's final in 1999 (though it helped that it was in America when it happen). And that was women's! It wouldn't be as heart-breaking if we lost that final, but if we won, we'd go ape-shit crazy. Mainly cause we probably would be major underdogs in a World Cup final.

Not to mention, the 1980 Miracle on Ice provided a huge bonding moment that has stayed apart of American lore to this day. The situation is certainly possible.
