I'm watching the CBC feed, and they're talking like Crosby is carrying the team. He's shitting the place up.

Canada just has too many great players. USA really would need to play together more to combat that talent imo. We might have lost 1-0, but Canada controlled that game from the start to the finish. Our forecheck was embarrassing.

Only caught the third, and Canada really did mostly dominate that period. If it wasn't for Quick they would have had a few more goals, at least. Being able to roll four incredible forward lines going 100% for 40 seconds at a shot is pretty overwhelming for any team or country to cope with.

I apologize up front I don't feel like googling and posting my sources, but:
Did you know that the Gold medal is made up of about 6% gold? It's value today is around $600, given 94% of it is silver.
The silver medal would be worth about $350
While the Bronze.... $5.

While I do like watching the athletes perform in them, pretty much any judged sport is "fucked up" and I put almost zero faith in the actual results. Figure skating (and gymnastics in the Summer games) probably being the most corrupt of them all.
I still for the life of me can't figure out how and why ski-jumping is a judged sport other than somehow a bunch of blow-hard, self-important, otherwise incompetent jerk-offs managed to insert themselves into the middle of it all. Seems simple to me, guy who jumps the furthest should win, right? Nope, we are going to judge you on form in the air and landings. Back in the 90's when guys were jumping much further using the V technique and were not winning because they were getting dinged for "form" was absolutely asinine.
