LaredoStacken [2:42 PM]:

Adam Gretz [2:42 PM]:

If somebody took off a skate and stabbed an opposing player it probably wouldn’t get called at this point

kennanbelau [2:42 PM]:

So much armpit sweat….gonna need a long shower when this is over

LaredoStacken [2:41 PM]:

michi477319 [2:19 PM]:

sweet jesus this is just…no words

Thomas Wachtel [2:18 PM]:

Steven Godfrey [2:18 PM]:

Of all the bounces… it was almost magnetically attracted to the post

elvanthia.douvlos [2:18 PM]:

Adam Gretz [2:18 PM]:

That was an incredible sequence. Canada gets screwed by the ref getting in the way, then the puck softly rolls off the post.

Chris Haines [2:18 PM]:

Dear. God.

Charlie Gebow [2:18 PM]:

One inch to the right. god dammit

elvanthia.douvlos [2:18 PM]:

elvanthia.douvlos [2:17 PM]:

Trixtor [2:17 PM]:

So wait, why is Canada allowed to check?

michi477319 [2:16 PM]:

robert guiscard [2:16 PM]:

Wow they’re swallowing whistles arent they

elvanthia.douvlos [2:16 PM]:

michi477319 [2:15 PM]:

clear it

dnajan [2:15 PM]:

Yeah Canada, let’s get it at least tied up before the end of this period.

kennanbelau [2:15 PM]:

Sometimes all you need is a bounce

elvanthia.douvlos [2:15 PM]:

Mark Heyck [2:15 PM]:

clearwall [2:15 PM]:

rico_suave74 [2:13 PM]:

Damn you Canada!

robert guiscard [2:13 PM]:

Evan Sporer [2:13 PM]:

Not so fast, crazy Canadian deflection makes it 2-1

robert guiscard [2:13 PM]:

ZWal93 [2:04 PM]:

it’s times like these I’m glad I wasn’t alive for the 1980 game, there’s no way I would have survived those last 10 minutes

robert guiscard [2:03 PM]:

I just love that there’s a million awesome sporting competitions going on at the same time

elvanthia.douvlos [2:02 PM]:

I am proud to be an American! These girls are all heart and desire to represent their country!

elvanthia.douvlos [2:01 PM]:

Yea, it is refreshing, these games are not about players and money, just old fashion heart and the desire for the game…

atxstranger [2:01 PM]:

yeah, don’t do that again!

robert guiscard [2:00 PM]:

Man, I love the Olympics.

elvanthia.douvlos [1:59 PM]:

YOu would think they would have panned to any member of the mens team..not sure.

michi477319 [1:59 PM]:

ZWal93 [1:58 PM]:

Nicole Haase [1:58 PM]:

michi477319 [1:58 PM]:

Trixtor [1:29 PM]:

The lack of checking is making the game a bit less fluid

kennanbelau [1:29 PM]:

It’s 5 o’clock somewhere

clearwall [1:29 PM]:

its 10:30pm in Sochi…

atxstranger [1:29 PM]:

Andrew Berkshire [1:23 PM]:

Canada’s powerplay is impossibly bad.

kennanbelau [1:23 PM]:

US PK huge right there

robert guiscard [1:23 PM]:

Great kill there

michi477319 [1:23 PM]:

there are bodies falling everywhere

Nicole Haase [1:11 PM]:

I came late, not sure if anyone pointed this out, but in any tourney where these two have met twice (prelims and gold medal game) the team that won the first game lost the second game

If it ends 0-0, we turn it over to a Toews/Oshie shootout challenge

rangerhater857987 [12:40 PM]:

if the game ends 0-0, do we just let the goalies take the shootout shots on each other?

Canada just took another penalty for an illegal check

atxstranger [12:19 PM]:

for the whole “there is no checking in Women’s hockey” there sure is a lot of hitting going on

Brandon Worley [12:17 PM]:

That shot hit the cheater on her glove I think.

See this is my problem with the bodychecking penalty – it’s stupid and it’s only called about 75% of the time

Andrew Berkshire [12:14 PM]:

That was interference so not at issue, but I think they should allow checking in women’s hockey.

kennanbelau [12:14 PM]:

That being said, I’ll take the PP!

Evan Sporer [12:14 PM]:

kennanbelau [12:14 PM]:

I don’t think that should be a penalty. Let them hit!

Silver tiebreaker is just a different loser way to count anyway.

Andrew Berkshire [11:41 AM]:

A bunch of American networks have been sorting by total medals all Olympics. It’s properly sorted by gold, silver tiebreaker, then bronze.

sarahconnors [11:40 AM]:

you keep saying this thing about the loser way but the only way I’ve seen it counted is by gold medals so what the hell are you even talking about, jerkshire

Pretty cool that after this game Canada will jump over America in the medal table too, unless you count them the loser way.
