My cat's name is mittens...

does your cat have a gold medal?

I think Cheryl Bernard pulled one of the biggest choke jobs in the history of sports tonight, you may have to go back to the time of the Romans to find an epic failure as big as this. She may as well have not even taken to the sheet tonight and just conceded victory to the Swedes before hand, it would have been less embarrassing and humiliating than what happened out there.

Damn straight, let our girls have some fun, they earned it.

Personally, I think its good for the winners to celebrate like this; I guarantee that the above photo would be on the cover of SI if the Americans won. Canada played a great game and kicked our ass, kudos to you. Now let's see if Ryan Miller and the boys in red,white and blue can do what the US ladies were unable to do...

If Canada plays them like they played the Slovaks last night it won't be much of a game. The States will absolutely walk all over them.

i've got a job, i explore canada... an ancient race lives under our ice.

Meghan Agosta deserves a cigar after the performance she had in the Olympics, MVP of the tournament!

That said, although honestly i could care less, they should of known better than to take the celebration back out on the ice IMO, surely they have known it'd create headlines.

For the record it is a Canadian controversy. Americans really don't give a s***.

I dunno, When I watched our Ladies get their Gold I literally got choked up from the pride I feel from being from Canada and the feelings they must go through in those moments must be overwhelming hock: at the end of the day the Media or whoever can spin anything they want to in whatever way, lotsa jealous folks out there i'd say. And that guy in the interview is a knobb, I'm glad that woman stood up to him :thumb:

I thought Canada played extremely well last night for the most part, but they obviously got a little too comfortable with the 3-0 lead and stopped skating in the 3rd, which allowed the Slovaks to gain some momentum. Lesson learned. No lead is safe and you can't let up for a second. If Canada can keep their feet moving and stay hard on the forecheck for a full 60 minutes, they'll beat the States on Sunday. Our forwards have dominated in the offensive zone all tournament, and that includes the 5-3 loss to the U.S. (if Marty doesn't let those two brutal goals in early, we win that game). In my opinion we have way too much firepower to lose to them twice in the same tournament. The Americans have a great team and it'll definitely be a close game, but I like our chances.

Ridiculously ignorant comment.
