Yeah, that's the Olympic spirit!

It's all about losers and the young men and women that let down their country. We should post up some pictures of these losers, especially the young teenagers that obviously didn't give their best.

I would say you are watching too much CBC but even they have more class than that.

So why exactly did the womens short track relay team get DQ'd?

I have noticed in the last 3 olympics that I have actually paid attention to, the Koreans are dirty speed skaters. It wouldn't surprise me if they intentionally went down to try and take the Canadians out after they were DQ'd in a race earlier this week.

US has 10 X the population of Canada...however maybe not so much in the snow belt.

Still...a little competitive spirit isn't a terrible thing. All them athletes are tops in my book. Takes a special person to spend so much of their life fighting up the ladder in a sport...then come back down to earth and find a real job for the future. That and some of their bodies are toast.

To understand that Olympic sport you need to go back to the short track speed skating rivalry between Spartan and Troy.

You think a fight was over a woman...however...those judges start wars.

It's all about insurance/money and a business such as the NHL needs to do what's best for the business.

Either way the hockey is great.

Agreed. Figuring out times is tough. Tried to tape the Canada game today. Didn't work.

But great to see Canada's boys make the semi finals. We play Germany. Swedes eliminated by a huge effort by Germany.

Czech bested USA. Americans out of it now. They play OAR.

Winners play for gold and silver

Losers play for bronze and 4th.

Go CANADA GO!

It would be great to win gold.

It would be a better game if Canada would stay out of the penalty box.

Be even better if the refs would stop putting them there. Let them play.

I'd like to see that 2nd US goal again, it looked suspiciously like it was offside to me.

What a game..too bad it wasn't us that came out on top.

I hate shootouts. Worst thing to ever happen in hockey.

I mean come on - gold medal game in the Olympics. Play another bloody overtime.

Cripes.

Gotta disagree with that. Canada was all over it for the first two periods and then US took over. I think that Canada was too fast out the gate and had themselves played out after two periods and couldn’t keep up with the US in the third and overtime. Towards the end, I’ll agree, the US dominated.

Missed the 3rd and the OT, was it one goal to 0 is 5 shots ea ?
Figured Zabados in goal would win it for CA if it got to OT.

This.. LAME. Not sure how a TEAM sport could end up coming down to a 1 on 1.
