http://www.hockeycanada.ca/index.ph.../game_id/146814/season_id/146657/ss_id/74637/

Team Ontario beats the USA 5-3 for the gold medal!

 

Right on.

My main impressions from the one game of Team Ontario I saw (vs. the Czechs) was that:

1) Polesello is a smart, crafty little player
2) Graham is a phenomenal skater

 

12, 060 attendance for the GMG. Nobody supports Hockey Canada better than Manitoba.

 

Thanks. I am watching this game on TV right now and it is 3-3. Didn't know it was over.

Tape delayed broadcast fail.

 

you dun goofed on the spoiler

 

I can't believe it! It's now 4-3 Canada. Jeez, I hope they score again.

I guess I shouldn't have assumed a live game would be played at midnight in Winnipeg.

 

I really wanted to get out to a Team Atlantic game to see this Nathan MacKinnon kid, but I never got around to it. This tournament starts and ends in a flash.

 

That penalty shot goal was friggen diiiiiiirty.

 

man that shoot out goal was very nice

so were both goals by whoever that kid is who shattered the waterbottle

 

Both the 4th and 5th goals were ridiculous. That move on the penalty shot was too good for a 16 year old. The goalie lost his shorts on that one.

 

can someone youtube Matthew Campagna's penalty shot goal? That was ridiculously smooth, goal deserves some praise.

 

Awesome. Naturally, I cheer for Team Pacific but in this case I can make an exception. They're wearing the maple leaf, that's all that matters.

Good job boys!

 

Mathew Campagna scored the penalty shot goal. Sean Monahan hit the water bottle.

 

Can't find a YT yet. It needs to be seen, though.

 

Rychel
Monahan
Marcantuoni
Campagna

all stellar performances

 

Doesn't do it justice.

 

Just got back from having some victory drinks after the game. Tonight's game was a lot of fun, and there was a great atmosphere in the building. I just wanted to say the Americans showed a lot of class after the game. After each American player was called after the game to receive their 2nd place prize, they skating down the blue line to shake all the Canadian players hands.

It might be the booze talking, but after a game that had a lot of big hits and some dirty plays, it was cool to see the Americans show that type of class. A guy like Don Cherry would of been proud of that. It's like when two guys fight, and after the fight is over they shake hands. It's that type of thing that makes hockey so much better than other sports.

 

Not surprised with a quality guy like Danton Cole coaching that team.

 

I was very impressed with both sides tonight. I think that says alot.

 

lol. I'm not ripping on you at all but wtf is the point of people uploading those kind of videos on youtube. Can't see ****.

 

Yeah, no idea.

Crowd reaction I guess? He pulled off a slick Zhamnov goal.

 

That kid has some serious sack to pull a move like that. Sixteen years old

 

Thank you! After he pulled that move, I said to my buddies that move was used by a Jet player, but I couldn't remember who. Zhamnov!

 

Zhamnov was doing it way before Forsberg got credit for it!

 

Unfairly attributed to Forsberg nowadays.
