    With all the Europeans bowing out one by one ... the two lone North American nations are left.

    Its gonna be crazy ... home-ice advantage for the U.S but no doubt there will be some hair-raising hard-core Canadian fans coming down from all the provinces as they did for the Women's game. Rematch of the World Cup finals in '96.

    I don't know how big a deal this is in South Texas, but here in the Great White North, to say that the entire nation will come to a halt at 3:00 p.m EST on Sunday is an understatement.

    Let's get it on!!!

    (Crossing fingers that a neutral Referee is assigned to this game)

    It'll be a NHL ref. He'll be fair because his professional reputation is on the line.

    And the streets will be certainly be windblown and deserted, come Sunday afternoon. :D

    Take off, eh;)

    I hope you guys enjoyed your win yesterday. It will be your last one:D

    It sure would be great to get an entire game like the 3rd period of the USA-Russia game. That was intense.

    Good luck Canada, your gonna need it.

    Oh yeah, baby. It's go time. After that stupid loss to Norway in the gold medal men's curling game, we should be all fired up to whip some starred and striped butt!

    You haven't watched many of the Olympic games this year have you? Canada is the team with all the scorers who didn't like playing D in their first couple of games.
    Talent wise Canada may have a better team but the USA is playing better as a team.
    I hope we whip their a$$es just to shut Gretzky up.

    USA, USA!!!!

    "like gretzky said

    We'll see tomorrow. It will be a great day, but I just think the USA is playing better. Canada's advantage is they got an easier game against Belarus, so they may not be as tired. But the US has played great all tournament long, opposed to the Canadians who have not.

    Anyways good luck to you guys tomorrow, it will be a great day for the NHL and a great day for North American Hockey!

    USA!!!!

    Obviously I hope we whip the Canucks asses. I do feel very proud of the way this team has represented us, as opposed to the team in Nagano.

    it is actually really cool, at the olympics(i just got back from park city on tuesday) everyone watches the games out in the streets. so the streets will be full in Utah. They have these giant TVs in the Olympic park in SLC, as well as 3 screens at the top,bottom, and middle of main street in park city. there were about 1000 people watching americas ladied whoop germany 10-0 earlier last week. and all the bars have huge USA chants coming out of them during the night games. it was freakinh amazing. if you are within driving distance you MUST go. i am so sad to be back in NY.

    peace

    I wonder if the referee will be an American or Canadian?

    I find it pretty strange that you have your own guys officiating the most important games.

    Just image Collina taking care of a game between England and Italy in soccer. I can´t see why that should be fair.
