    So what’s everyone think? Can US mens team get to the gold medal round and take out Canada?

    Seems like the US Women are dominating as much as the Canadian men and they’ve already embarrassed the Canadian women’s team during prelims!

    Uniforms immediately make me think Rangers every time I see them. Nice to see good teams reppin the color’s.

    Very close calls for both the US and Canadian men in the quarterfinals, as two New York area players (Palat, Zibanejad) are almost heroes for the losing sides.

    Yea I didn’t expect games that close although I think Sweden was really putting it together as they played together more.

    Curious about Crosby now. Hope he’s not too messed up from that hit. I don’t think expect to see him in these games again.

    Well that game was a heart attack special. Congratulations to the women’s team on pulling it out in the end!

    So far this gold medal game is definitely a worthy match up. The goal by Boldy was a thing of beauty. US up 1-0 mid 1st

    US completes the men/women sweep of Canada for the gold. Given how vividly I remember it, it's hard to believe that it's been 46 years since the last US men's gold.

    Fantastic wins for GOLD by the both the U.S. women and U.S. Men. Wonderful and very.moving that the U.S. Men's Hockey Team honored Johnny Gaudreau. 13 is a LUCKY number! Jack Hughes was awesome (game winning shot), but also with his post-game comments. Nothing politics-infused and look at that, he didn't say that we should all shit all over this country and how ashamed we should be for breathing. To the contrary, he was very proud to represent.

    Very cool that the win was 46 years TO THE DAY of The Miracle on Ice. Oops, I said ICE!
