Its the first game they have lost in the Olympics since the USA won it in '98. They don't lose often anywhere but especially not in the Olympics.Canada wants no part of this. No one really smiling.
Spoiled.
Makes our gold that much sweeter.

Man, I've got something in my eye.....
Kindly refer to posts #45 and #46.CONGRATS LADIES! What a game. Did anyone else seem to think the USA poured it on and Canada got tighter as the 3rd period ended? OT they looked a bit slower as well. The announcers have not really commented on it, just curious if you all saw it. GBR, GO USWNT!!

I don't like it being decided by a shootout either, but it looked to me like that's what Canada wanted in the OT period. USA clearly dominated that 20 minutes, and Canada was intent on going to a shootout.shootouts are such a brutal way to decide a game of that magnitude, but i guess going to 4 overtimes like they sometimes do in stanley cup playoffs wouldn't make much sense to some hockey fans either.
some great moves in that shootout and that final goal was a thing of beauty.
tough loss for the canadian team. full marks to the american women. well played game.
Without a doubt the US looked in better condition in the 3rd and OT. I mentioned it earlier but it seemed with the one goal lead, Canada was looking to back off on attacking in the 3rd and was content on just clogging up the middle to keep the US out of an offensive rhythm. Once the US tied it, Canada didn't seem to have the legs to mount much offense when they needed to and the US was still flying around and aggressive with their attack.CONGRATS LADIES! What a game.
