You've got the "wandering" part right.  And no, not Romany either.

Hint:  We finally got our own homeland in 1947.

Going to overtime to settle this in the most annoying way possible.

Looks like the game is going to "derp time."

Although they're resurfacing the ice.  Interesting.

20-minute periods of 3x3 is ... a choice

Yes, a horrible one. 

But it shows that they know a shoot-out to determine the gold medal is even worse.

Megan Keller wins it for Team USA. Great game all around. And Rory Guilday will get a gold medal simply for being on the bench.

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

At least it was a pretty goal.

Nah, play 5v5 OT.

Agreed.

You don't look Indian at all.

OTOH, just about any National Anthem is better than our pilfered drinking song.

speaking of anthems and drinking songs... i caught the tail end of Mizzou-Vandy basketball (i miss you, AK Okereke) and Mizzou's band was playing a song suspiciously similar to Far Above Cayuga's Waters.

As for the hockey, three beautiful goals in a three-goal game. Felt like USA had the run of play (despite surprising shot totals for most of the game) and depth won out. As good as the Keller move/goal was, the stretch pass to spring her was some Magic Johnson no-look brilliance.

Guilday did get some mop-up duty ice time in group play. She was also very visible in the celebration. Lots of hugging and the fact that she was hanging out with Keller a lot meant camera time. Very happy for Rory, a favorite of mine, and I hope she gets to grow into a bigger role on the national team in the future. I wonder if she did a fist pump at "RED" during the anthem.

Announcers had a lot of nice things to say about Jenner during the medal ceremony.

For my money, O'Neill had the one of the best games by anyone not wearing goalie pads, even without the shortie. Terrific effort.

Great game, worthy of the rivalry. Massively talented US team had to fight to get it done after Canada finally realized they had to play great defense to have a shot.  Emotions of the game reminded me of the 2003 ECAC Final.

She did not.  I actually watched for it.
