In the highlight clips of Canada’s first two goals (from your favorite locked-down NBC digital source) the announcers happened to be talking about the Cornell players right before each score.

If you would put "SPOILERS" in the thread title it might stop me from prematurely clicking. This is special pleading. Evidently, I cannot trust myself to think before I click.

Let's Go Red!

Looking for a safe and sane streaming site right now. Ideally with the Canada broadcast team to avoid the herpa-derp.

Jenner assists on the first Canada goal (Agosta) at 7:18 of the 2nd, 1-0.

Saulnier almost scores with 8 seconds to go in the 2nd. 2-zip through 2.

This is a very entertaining game.

can't believe the puck didn't go in there for the usa.

i know that this is a mostly Cornada fan club but every two years I get my jingo on.

Nation-states come and go, but real estate scams that cost our parents $200k are forever.

Announcers stated during the OAR game that Johnston, Jenner, and Saulnier played on the same line at Cornell. Anyone remember whether this is true? After watching Jenner's feed to Johnston for her first goal, this is certainly plausible. What a pretty play!

Well, Saulnier is a defenseman, so...

Edit: I guess she was a forward in college, so never mind.

Edit edit: I was thinking of Rougeau so, uh, as you were.

They did, but Johnston Saulnier only were on the team together for one year.

That Would be 2011-2012. That was the year of the 3OT game in the NCAA QF against BU. Count how many Canada Olympians were on the ice at Lynah that night.

Perhaps this is a better spot to put this good article about the sisters from Lansing who founded the Cornell and BC Women's teams.

Gold Medal game tomorrow night. Canada has 5 Cornell products. USA has 5 from BC.

SO glad dss28 and I stayed up to watch last night's game to the end. I don't love winning by shootout, but I love winning. Watching the U.S. women control the play during overtime was a beautiful thing.

Our Cornellians from Canada did great, and they somewhat outskated the Americans for a good chunk of the game, but Rooney did a fabulous job and the U.S. team deserved this victory big time.

To watch a great game be ruined by shootout was very disappointing. Especially at 2am! Let them play.

I'm at work today and very happy I didn't stay up to watch a #$#@ shootout! If lucky my DVR recording ends before the shootout begins.

I didn’t watch, but by all accounts the US dominated the OT, so at least the shootout went the way the game *probably* would have.

I got that impression too. I'm surprised Canada didn't blow them out -- we looked like a far more skilled team (through Carnelian glasses). I guess USA found a good strategy to nullify the advantage.

If the NCAA can play to infinity why not the Olympics?

As I've said in the past referring to the OT games in the playoffs "Is this heaven or hell?"

Shootouts are worse than hell.

Deciding an important hockey championship with a shootout is like deciding a tied seventh World Series championship game with a home run hitting contest. Ridiculous.

Totally agree. And it's not like they have to play another game after this. It's the gold medal game, for goodness sakes. Play hockey to the very end.

I also stayed up to the bitter end, and would have remained for however many periods might have been necessary (ain't retirement great?) Happy for the US women, but I was pulling for our former Big Red skaters. I found myself responding to every "USA" chant with "Let's Go Red!"

Nevertheless, big congrats to the gold medal-winning US Women's Hockey Team!

Television. if they can't edit all the non-American participants out of the broadcast, they want a game that will fit in a set time envelope.

I know the game was at 2 AM so what does it matter, but the replay(s) will not be.

There are other ways to solve such problems, and at 2 in the morning who'd give a shit. (Apologies to you located on the Pacific.)


Then there's the "let's just go home and come back tomorrow after school" approach.

I understand the sentiment, guys, but there WERE a couple of beautiful goals scored, including the winner for the Blue team. Might be worth looking at. Maybe in late summer when the hockey-hungries turn fierce.

Yes, you can still think that shootouts are ridiculous, but still feel that it was exciting, because it was.
