Maybe the best finish ever at an Olympic event... The gold medal winner skied across the finish line but the 3 contenders for the other two medals fell and flailed their way across the line for a photo finish! :D

My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

Great game, the big Olympic ice made it a great open game, few penalties, almost no icing calls, lots of forechechink, but no brutal hitting. SCs goal was a classic.

No goons, no staged vaudeville fights. When it's played right it's the best game going. TV doesn't do it justice. :cheers:

Here in Canada the experts are saying the best team Canada ever sent to the Olympics. Average age is 26.
Jonathan Toews has won World Junior, "World" Championship, two Stanley Cups and two Olympic gold medals. He is not yet 26. Crosby has been in the NHL since he was 18 or 19, generally agreed to be the best player in the world, he is 26.
They will be very hard to beat for a long time.
