Fantastic game! Probably the best hockey match since Lake Placid ‘80. Congratulations to Team Canada on a spectacular win for the Gold, and a “well done” to our own Team USA. See y’all in ‘14!

Whoa, the thread pulled elsewhere. I have a chance to think carefully on this post.

Congratulations to my adopted country Canada. Commiserations to a gallant American team. Having in my younger days come up only too close to the hockey fan- he of the beer parlour variety, I know only too well the quote by Kipling.

If you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two imposters just the same.

For me I took my two grand children for an annual trip into little Hulbert, Michigan. For there is a yard and a nice tavern, the deer come to be fed and stare in at my grandchildren.

The whole world, the whole bloomin' lot so far far away. No Congress, no Canadian parliament, no CNN, no CBC. One week later you can be sure it will be a memory.

Next up will be Lord Stanley's Cup. Yes, the old NHL stole it. America will likely have some sort of claim this time up. (chuckle).

I’m glad it ended the way it did. Team USA can be proud, if disappointed, and now we don’t need to face the horror of 10,000,000 Canadian suicides.

Good game. I salute the Canadian team for their Gold Medal, and I congratulate the US team for their hard earned silver.

I played hockey for about 15 years and used to be a die-hard fan but stopped watching in the nineties...the NHL brand was too boring.

This was what hockey should be.

Kudos to the Canadians!

Awesome game. Well worth the ignominy of watching a drive-by-media network.
