USA vs. Canada Gold Medal Game (SPOILERS)

Josh '99 · February 24, 2002, 03:24:07 PM

1-1, 2 minutes and change left in the 1st period

Goals for Amonte, USA, and Kariya, CAN.

My overriding thought so far: This is what the NHL All-Star Game SHOULD be like. Awesome hockey.

OK, I spoke too soon. 2-1 Canada, goal by Iginla at 18:33 1st.

this game is friggin awesome. am hoping desparately for a canadian win but if we can't there is no one else i would like to win gold more than the the US. either way this game is great and the outcome will be exciting! oh and a shout out to all the people at Dunbars last night who were appreciative of my Canadian hat!

HUGE penalty kill for the USA about midway through the second, including over a minute of 5-on-3... Lemieux hit the post on an open net frrom just outside the crease, how the hell did he miss that?

LeClair PPG to tie the game at 2 at about 15:30 of the 2nd. Can I just say again that this is great hockey?

melissa · February 24, 2002, 04:11:58 PM

why Lemieux missed that shot is beyone me. can only guess taht it is the hip tho if that is the case he shouldn't be playing. yet, think that his absence would diminsh Canadian spirit ....

3-2 Canada

Josh '99 · February 24, 2002, 04:14:40 PM

Hip or no hip, he couldn't believe he missed that shot any more than I could.

Sakic PPG gives the lead back to Canada at 18:19 of the 2nd.

melissa · February 24, 2002, 04:14:46 PM

I love Joe Sakic.;-)

melissa · February 24, 2002, 04:15:32 PM

yeah. there is really no excuse when you are less than 5 ft from an open net (more or less)

Josh '99 · February 24, 2002, 04:16:23 PM

Along those lines, Sakic really does look great so far today, as does Richter.

Josh '99 · February 24, 2002, 04:16:38 PM

Especially when you're Mario Lemieux.

melissa · February 24, 2002, 04:17:33 PM

yup. normally love Richter (and the Rangers) but today I'm kinda hoping his game falls off. :-P

Josh '99 · February 24, 2002, 04:22:38 PM

Ooh, and as if I needed another reason not to watch the Closing Ceremony, NSync will be performing. Bleech.

go go sakic! (and canada)

(i really should be cheering for the US....)

and can you believe this, from somewhere in the middle of PA all the way down to MD, I'm surfing all AM and FM stations trying to find a broadcast of this game...on the way up on Friday, I could hear the USA/Russia game starting around Scranton, PA...and NOBODY broadcasts it and yet, there are three stations broadcasting the same NASCAR race and a couple of stations on college bball. urg! this is what i get for living down here.

and the only good thing about cornell hockey now being broadcast on AM is that you can hear it in binghamton.
