Hoping they'll replay that tonight when I can watch it. Today is also supposed to be the womens' downhill - looking forward to watching Ms. Vonn crash and burn (figuratively speaking, of course ).

Wtf is up with the US speed skaters uniforms. Good God that is the stupidest thing I have seen.

GO US women's hockey!

I still like watching the women though. They get better and better every year. But yes, the men are light-years bigger and simply more awesome than the women which of course why we have women events and men events. It's a perfect illustration of the difference between guys and gals.

I'm really curious how much of that is athletic ability and how much is mass. The mass helps hold way better speed, but even with that the height and speed of the women isn't that much different. In my uneducated opinion.

The height and speed isn't that much different? Man, if you can't see how much higher, faster, and more dynamic the men are in both snowboarding and skiing, I don't know what to tell you.

The manufacturer identifies the uniform model as "C My Crotch."

Here we go!

USA
USA
USA

SCORES!

I have to get up early but I'm staying up for this game. Who needs sleep anyway.

Let's go USA

BTW the announcers need to be more pro-USA. This is a huge game, this is the USA and a USA network get with it. I don't care what you think and no that little slash is never called but yes the retaliation is always called. Refs where right. STFU and be more supportive of our team.

DAMN!

Unfortunately, the Canadian women always take it to the US in gold medal games.

Our gals are battling, but are a bit over matched.

Hockey is the Canadian version of American football. They eat, sleep and breath hockey.

We need better passing, get someone in front of the net and shot it more. Crash the net.

They are too cute with the puck.

SCORES!!!!

YESSSSS!!! What a swing that was. 2 on 1 turned into a breakaway.

Defensively the US is not picking up F3, too many opportunities are coming from that mistake. It cost them the 2nd goal

Shame there is a 15 minute break. They are probably going to lose the momentum they had going.

Exciting for fans
A Battle for players
Hell on Coaches

Championship Game Overtime

Come on come on come on!

I can't convey how demanding 4-4 hockey is, let alone for a full 20 minute period, and on Olympic size ice.

A penalty with 1:35 left, this is bad bad bad
