    auto qualification = automatic medals?

    I'll concede this much, we can't match the Americans when it comes to almost winning ;)

    Just let them have their fun. The Olympics are over tomorrow and then Canadians go back into hibernation for the next four years.

    Well my point is quite simple really, Canada is doing very well for a country with a population of 34 million. Same can be said about Norway and Austria.

    Re-read my post, I said the mods could ban me, they didn't, I'm not exactly going to ban myself.

    Brilliant idea!

    Canada kindly turn in your 15 silver and bronze medals from the 2008 Summer Olympics.

    You now have a whopping 3.

    Satisfied?

    Only hockey games I ever watched were from the Mighty Ducks movies. I will be watching this game. Can anyone share some background on this? Is Canada the Kings of Hockey or something?

    Canada invented the sport it is their national past time, the USA is undefeated in this tournament.

    It is the 2 best teams comprised of all NHL players, it is going to be a war.

    GO USA !!

    Many Canadians winter in North Dakota because of the balmy climate ... just saying.

    I feel so fortunate to be witnessing this right now. This is one of the better hockey games that I have ever seen.
