In summary: It's a puck! A puck! It's also the game where players body check each other into the boards and fans scream! ...but yeah, you kind of need a really good eye to see the puck. :(hockey

A devastating night for Canadians. Especially since 1) the stadium was 90% composed of Canadians, and 2) the tickets were $500 each.

Half of Canada is now going to drink themselves to sleep, hockey is what we live for! It's the ONLY thing we are notoriously known for! Other then pennicilyn.

AAUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH. Life stinks. Especially since Russia went into a circle and worshipped their trophy.

You know what? They deserve to win, they fought well, and put up a great fight. Heh, I was going to celebrate and not do my physics, but now I'm going to cry and not do my physics.

Russia - Canada : 5:3

It's so emotional! I'm willing to put good money that people get suicidal for hockey!
You don't understand Evo! We were winning 3 - nothing! WE COULD SEE THE GOLD. but we ended up listening to Russian's sing terribly out of tune! Also, US got Bronze, over Sweden.

Oh my god, my gut dropped after they tied the game! With only like, 2 minutes left in the game! I agree with you, twas a devastating night. But, listening to guy's scream at a camera in Russian was pretty satisfying, and I'm glad it's not the U.S. that beat us. :\

Yeah, we lost stamina at the end. Why? Glad at least you were disappointed. :]

Russia and Canada have an ongoing hockey war. It's been going on since the 1950's! Russia's like our arch rival!

Oh my god that nearly just made my day! Kind of makes losing to them a little less agonizing.

Is that the game where you can't even see the ball (or whatever you call it), and realize it was a goal only when you see the players celebrating?

I thought American's were known for their above average weight and extreme opinions. I never knew they lived for sports as well.
