PrintThis is it; the gold medal game between Team Canada and the US of A! There couldn't be a better match up going into the final game, not to mention the story line of the US beating the Canadians in the preliminary round. I'm a US citizen but am hoping for a Team Canada win. I honestly want Canada to win in Canada with the goalies putting on a show. I want a close game with no more than a 2 goal differential with a generous smattering of breakaways and blocked shots. I want Drew Doughty to shine. I want Dustin Brown to smash people. I want Jack Johnson to answer my texts. I want Michael Handzus to get some rest before Tuesday's game. I want Jonathan Quick to do the same actually. Go hockey on a world stage!!

Also, here is an update on the Wayne Simmonds bobblehead giveaway! (If you need a refresher on what's going on, here's the original link). Thanks to everyone for getting in on the action so far. Needless to say, I've eliminated RudyKelly because, well... you know. I've charted out what's been going on to date so everyone can see where they place. I'm going to give everyone until Sunday 11:59pm PST to get in their comments for his or her chance at the big prize.

Btw, the first Canada v. USA game drew 70% of our population
I can only imagine what this one will draw. Noon on a Sunday? 100%? 101%?

Oh man, that is a tragic statement if I’ve ever heard one!

It was a little difficult to cheer when he’d be part of getting the puck in the net. Why did he not look like he was playing a gold-medal game after he scored today? I wasn’t too high on his nonchalance.
like you, connie, a big part of me was rooting for canadialand to win on it’s home soil. the company i work for is based in victoria, b.c., vancouver is probably my favorite city to visit, everyone i work for and most of the people i encountered in b.c. were every bit as cool and polite as their reputation implies, universal healthcare and whatnot…but perry, getzlaf, pronger and iginla made it pretty difficult. to paraphrase rudykelly, every time i see their stupid faces i just wanna take a shit on my tv.
