201!

Sick last goal, but shootouts still suck.

Okay, maybe I should finish grading since I teach the class in less than eight hours.

 

[WizardHawk]

Suck it Canada.

That is all.

Break out the beer.

Soju. ... Soju (/ˈsoʊdʒuː/; from Korean: 소주; 燒酒 [so.dʑu]) is a clear, colorless distilled beverage of Korean origin. It is usually consumed neat, and its alcohol content varies from about 16.8% to 53% alcohol by volume (ABV). Most brands of soju are made in South Korea.

Honestly, that's basically exactly how it's turning out. This was a very B sort of assignment, apparently.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Against a lesser team (and if a goal didn't automatically end the game in OT) US would have scored 3-4 goals starting from halfway in the third through almost the whole of OT.

Congrats on the win USA. That was a great game.

Man, it's tough seeing all those tears from the Canadian gals, hold your heads high ladies, you played a great game, shootouts are a tough way to decide any game, let alone a gold medal game.

Exactly. They won a silver medal; no shame in that. You can't just keep winning constantly or they'll decide to write a rule to stop you (See Brian Budd rule for Superstars competitions).

Wow, one of the first Canadian women getting their medal took it off as soon as it was put on in what looked like total disgust.

Don't be a self entitled jackass on the international stage.

 

[davnlaguna]

You win the bronze
You win the gold
You lose the silver
Larocque on Canada took her medal off in disgust

You're probably right. She should have just waited till later on and thrashed a hotel room.
