Women's hockey gold - This Will Be Great

[Ken The Kanuck]

Who needs the Russians when you have competition like this.

I realize many here do not follow hockey let alone women's hockey, but the competition between these two teams is legendary.

Good luck to both.

Gotta go with the American women, KTK. I agree it's good for the Gold to stay in North America, but I'll pull for the Yanks. Nice regulation win too, none of this shootout business.

I figure it's a toss up, will be cheering for the Canucks of course but wouldn't put any money on it.

They've had some classic battles, no doubt. Probably another nail-biter. Women really play it for a love of the game, too. The money obviously isn't there like the men's game.

If only I can avoid the announcement of winner before I actually get a chance to view the game.

I try to avoid hockey, and if I accidentally step in it, I scrape it off as soon as I can. :-)

1st goal by the Americans, Canadians playing badly giving up 3 dumb penalties in the 1st. Hope we can answer.

Look @it this way Ken, regardless if we win or you win it is kept in the "family", after all we are cousins aren't we? If the U.S. wins Canada wins and vice-versa is the way I see it.

US Women doing the heavy lifting at these games. Same as Rio.

I agree Sam, it seems to me that these women play for their country, then play for their team and then play for themselves.

To me the best of all the games.

The USA did look to me like they were the best team and they deserved the win.

At least Women's Team USA is playing better than the Chicago Blackhawks this year.

That was a great game. I'm not sure why Canada's Jocelyne Larocque took off her silver medal immediately after receiving it. I guess she was expecting gold.
