Don't forget about Kesler.

Coming back after he was hurt and winning all those face offs.

Yeah he had a great game but he needs to show up like that for the Canucks in the playoffs.

Little known fact, T.J. Oshie's parents are Rocky and the Statue of Liberty.

That was amazing and I am not a fan of the shootout.

Lol, I'd rather him not

Well, honestly, they said that he's not that great in the shootouts - they made the right choices in the shootout

I remember a shootout back in Nagano in '98 when Marc Crawford left Gretzky on the bench and put Ray Bourque out in his place - That didn't work out all that well.

Russia played a very strong, very tight game. Best system play I've seen from them, really.

But the USA was just as tight, maybe even tighter, staying in the shooting lanes and taking away Ovechkin and Kovalchuk for most of the game.

Really outstanding hockey game.

TJ Oshie could take the gold in the men's skeleton right now.

Also, does ChicagoIrish have any pizza left, I mean pizza, it's not just for dinner anymore.

I got some leftover pizza

I have some leftover Chinese food. What's more patriotic than leftover Chinese for breakfast?

If only they were open this early

Our friend 43 has a big dilemma - He loves Bobrovsky and dislikes Oshie (lol). Oh well, I'm sure he's ok with this result.

USA coaching staff waited to shake Russian coaching staff's hands after game and Russia coaches declined and left. #noclass #Sochi2014

I expect that from them

Didn't Gretzky say at the time that he didn't like being in shootouts and that he told him not to put him in?
