About time Quinn got wasted - celebrate winning the gold and forget all the losing with the Canucks.

I don't know what game you were watching. It was exciting and extremely intense and went to OT.
Hockey is our 4th most popular sport and we smoked you at your ONLY sport. Sad.

I lived in Ottawa for a bit as an expat. I never would have ever imagined I'd see the day the Trans for Palestine protest would purposefully disrupt the LGBT parade because it wasn't showing support in their protest for Palestine. In Ottawa even the gays can't get along due to their "progressiveness". The big yearly LGBT parade literally shut down.
Also, "well Russia wasn't playing" is dumb logic because that can go for any sport in the Olympics. So apparently because Russia was banned the entire Olympics are now not real.

As a Canadian, I enjoyed the fuck out of that game, can't ask for more than a gold medal game going in overtime. I'm disappointed by the result obviously, I think we deserved better.
That said, the 5 on 3 was painful to watch, I don't think we even got a good shot on goal in a minute and a half. Hats off for USA for defending that.
MacKinnon is going to have nightmares about that empty net he missed.
Halleybuck was awesome letting one goal on 42 shots, great performance.
I'm not a fan of a gold medal being decided on 3 vs 3, but everyone knew going in that this was going to be the case so can't really complain about it.
At the end of the day, awesome game and grats to the USA for the gold.

Olympic games puts into perspective how absolutely grueling the Stanley Cup Playoffs are.
Shit is honestly nothing more then a exhibition game. Yea it's amazing we get to see best on best but honestly playoff matches are much more entertaining to me.
Granted the hype and nationalism go a long way for these games, but from a pure gamer perspective nothing completes with hoisting that Cup.
