As a proud Canadian I have to admit the Americans out skated and out shot team Canada the whole game. Tied 2-2 through overtime and tied still after 5 shooters in shootout the Americans then scored and Canadians couldn't answer with a matching goal and team USA very much earned their gold medal.
 
I honestly wouldn?t have cared either way but they gave the USA the penalty for doing the same thing Canada did five minutes before I hoped the USA would win
 
I fell asleep somewhere around the 2nd period.

Wife and I were saying earlt on the gals could beat the guys, USA hockey teams this year. Gals looked crisp and sharp.

Good job both USA and Canada, they fought it out to the end, tight game from what I saw and caught the recaps now.

Soon as they got the goal we went to bed,3:30 here time at that point and had to be up for 6:30. We have kids in hockey and know what it's all about,Canada played 75% of the game on the defensive end couldn't skate past the US defence couldn't capitalize on a 4 on 3 in overtime they had no reason to be sore losers.
 
. The only person to be concerned about on the Canadian Team is the Goalie . She and others will carry the loss for the rest of her life .
 
I agree,my take is the US girls won almost every battle and our girls simply got outplayed enough to lose. But it was exciting. congrats.
 
B&D ....... I didn't watch the game so I'm not understanding your post about the goalie vs the rest of the team. What
happened that you say that?
 
Hi, I watched the whole game. Very Good! I wonder if it would have turned out different if the Canadian girls didn't get so many needless penalties.like chopping the stick right out of opponent's hand and tripping. US girls deserved to win. Ed Will Oliver BC
 
Some kind words from people up north who really know their hockey. I stayed up until nearly 3 AM to watch the finish and it was worth it. From my perspective, both teams played really well or it would not have gone to a sixth round shoot out. US offense got crazy aggressive at the end but the Canadian goalie and defense did their job. It was just plain fun to watch two teams with so much spirit. I can just about guarantee you that Canada will come back in four years and clean up the ice with us. A match to look forward to. :)
 

The goalie is the last line of defence that the entire team is counting on. Game are won or lost if the puck gets into the net. The shootout makes it more so.
 
Congratulations USA women's Hockey Team on a well earned game!

I wondered that too but they didn't get many scoring chances with the 4 on 3. I think the Canadian girls were plum worn out and the Americans were hungry for the gold ,awesome hockey
