USA WOMEN’S HOCKY WIN GOLD

[jcliff]

USA defeats Canada in a shoot out after a scoreless overtime. I’m as proud to be an American now as I was when I was stationed in D.C. during the Miracle on Ice in 1980.

BE PROUD LADIES YOU WORKED YOUR BUTTS OFF AND LEFT IT ALL ON THE ICE.

Do not take anything away from team Canada they also left it all out there and should hold their heads high.

Watching that came brought back a feeling of for all of us.

CONGRADULATIONS LADIES BE PROUD......

They left their butts on the ice?

I think I’ll stop off for a cold one after the game.

Nice win. But I think the shootouts suck.

Olympics, NHL, KHL, wherever... that’s one of the niftiest goals possible. One of the Canadian ladies had a sweet one too, their fourth or fifth shooter.

Their captain, Poulin, must be from Montreal, she’s so dirty. That headshot she put on our player was vicious, and that stupid Habs-ish bullshit she pulled after that icing, heading out illegally to delay the game... I’ll be honest, I was glad they kept showing her after the game, sobbing.

Nice win. But I think the shootouts suck.

I am OK with them for a regular season game but any game for a medal or a playoff game should never end in a shootout!

Nice win!! And a Westfield native on that team as well.

Some of the Canadian players took off their Silver medal as soon as it was put on them. Bitter I guess....lol

 

[rwl1955]

GREAT WIN GIRLS! I DVR'd the game and will watch it later. USA! USA! USA!

 

[Keop]

I feel so hungover having stayed up and watched the game... and I was only drinking Pepsi, lol... great game but agree with all the points above:

Poulin played dirty big time
Shootouts for medals and championships suck
Everyone should be proud
... and Poulin played dirty, lol

 

[garandman]

Ironically Poulin played 4 years at BU....

Lot of complaining about shoot outs, ridiculous for a Gold medal. Hopefully this changes the rules.

US had nine shots on goal in overtime and lots of zone time, would have been a tragedy if they lost.

I’m good with shootouts, even when it loses our women the World Cup. Without shootouts, you get six-hour baseball games.

Screw that.

Shootouts are the rulz going in. If Canada wants to gripe about it, they should try harder in regulation next time.

“After she left the ice and fought back tears while speaking with the media, Larocque was informed by a “man in a suit” that she can’t legally refuse to wear the medal, according to the Globe and Mail. Shortly after the talk, Larocque had the silver medal dangling from her neck”

Rules are rules: After shunning silver, Jocelyne Larocque ordered to wear medal

The one Canadian who played it straight? Poulin.....
