Game over. That offsides challenge could've changed momentum. Instead, Canada scores legit goal a minute later. Not to mention the U.S. missed a wide open net earlier.

2-0 Canada. 15:02 into the first period.

[Claude Balls]

That 2nd Canadian goal looked like it was scored on the Sabres defense and goalies. Totally pathetic

3-0 Canada. 9:08 into the 2nd period.

[Zamboni]

3-1 Canada. Short handed goal by USA. 2nd period.

[Thorner]

Well deserved win!

That game was more entertaining than most Jets' games this year...

Patrik Rybar has been steller in net for Team Slovakia...might win a Bronze medal.  Don't know much about him, but maybe worth a look if no other NHL team has any rights to him?  Slovakia team coach Craig Ramsey could tell us everything we need to know.  BTW, congrats to Coach Craig Ramsey and GM Miro Satan for Slovakia's first olympic medal!

I doubt anyone has his rights. He is 28.

He played in North America one year, in the AHL. 
He had a good showing for starting out as their third string guy.

They finally won the gold medal in men’s hockey.

Back in 2006, I really wanted them to get it since I was a huge fan of Teppo Numminen back then.

Everything worked out this time.

Is that rally Slovakia’s first Olympic hockey medal?! That doesn’t seem right.

Slovakia has only competed in the Olympics since '94.  The Canadians, Americans, Russians, Swedes, Czechs, & even the Finns have had deeper talent pools available to them every time except this one.

They don't get credit for all of Czechoslovakia's myriad medals.

Nope.  Ended 2 days ago.

The Finns had fun.  Well, most of them.  Apparently 1 cross country skier suffered a rather unusual injury waiting in the cold & wind for his event to start.  But, overall, the Finns did well.

I read about that… That’s an incredible injury! Ouch
