I'd just have gone out with a giant bucket, extinguished the flame and announced "It's over! GTFO everyone!"
Just to see the reactions of people who paid an arm and a leg for the tickets.

I admit I lol'd at them making fun of themselves with the torch thing

Good game... the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. Sidney Crosby doing it was certainly a twist, but he is the man after all. It will only further him on his path towards becoming the next Great One.

As my friend so aptly put it, "At least AO is bawling his eyes out right now."

Silver medal was more than mostly any American predicted 2 weeks ago, including me. Great work by team USA, looking forward to 2014.

God Matthew Barnaby is a fucktard, did anyone else just catch him on SC?

I just want to punch him every time he's on the screen, for two reasons. One: He looks like a douchebag. Two: He takes away from Barry Melrose's time.

good game. as they said, its a shame someone has to lose, but oh well. cant really say im upset that Canada won. its on their home soil, good for them.

now, can all of you canadians who arent Richy, Thoronas and Rataatataattatatata go ahead and leave.

this thread is back to those who have been here all year and years previous, bandwagoners are unwelcome

Fuck you Sepukku

[vagus]

2 words, Epic Gold. Not gonna scream Canada over and over. Not needed. =)

So which team is gonna try for Kesler now?

[Ivaden]

Just glad this means Nova Scotia puckbunny Crosbygirl can until four years from now. I think I can finally understand why so many people hate Pittsburgh fans.

My prediction amongst friends and family was 3-2, but in favor of the US. Least I got the score right, but the wrong teams.

Trade Deadline in 3 days, can't wait to see what deals were made over the Olympic Break and will come to fruition in the next few days.

looks like the Pens got Jordan Leopold for a 2nd rounder

Word on the street is Letang is going.

It must truly frustrate Abraxas and all the other people Crosby rapes, knowing that no matter how good of a game they play, Crosby WILL take it over. You can't beat him. Hes unflappable. The playoffs last year, the shootout in the prelims, the gold medal game. He always gets it done no matter how much pressure there is.

[Callisto]

lol 'take it over'

[Callisto]

He just feints to make it look like he's barely contributing for 6-7 games then BAM STRIKES LIKE A COBRA

[Thoronas]

I was shocked when that goal went in. I thought Miller would have stopped something like that in close.

[Callisto]

He was probably thinking 'Oh, no worries, he hasn't even really made a legitimate attempt to score in 2 or 3 games'

[Thoronas]

Ratings are in and they are saying that 1 out of 3 Americans with a tv watched the game.

http://puckthemedia.wordpress.com/20...rnight-rating/

To put the numbers in perspective, Sunday’s game drew a higher overnight rating than every World Series game since 2004 (including every game of Yankees/Phillies last year), every NBA Finals telecast since 1998, and every NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four game since at least ‘98.

Excluding the NFL, the 17.6 overnight for the game is the second-highest of the year for any sporting event, behind only the Texas/Alabama BCS National Championship Game in January (18.2).

[Sepukku]

...and Sportscenter still shrugged it off their shoulder. Maybe 3 minutes of coverage devoted to it. If that.

Game 3 of the best-of-7 NBA Western Conference Quarter Finals would get 10 minutes of pregame analysis and discussion the day before and 15 minutes of highlights and interviews the day after.

Fucking garbage.
