The Canadian chicks blew that game. I called it in the 9th end, they had ample opportunity to put it away, but choked. Oh well, at least they "won" silver.

Our Father, who art in Vancouver, hockey be thy name. Thy will will be done, GOLD to be won, on ice as well in the stands. Give us this day our hockey sticks, and forgive us our penalties, as we forgive those who crosscheck against us. Lead us not into elimination but deliver us to victory....in the name of the fans of...... CANADA and the HOLY PUCK, Amen!!

Really glad Night Train won the gold today. I hope those guys get their due credit on the late-night circuit etc., after these Olympics. I've met them a couple times and they are all really cool, laid back guys.

I want to hug Steve Holcomb.

USA is tied for the all-time high for Winter Olympic medal count. Already clinched that they'll set the new high tomorrow when they medal in hockey.

Canada will LOSE tonight. They have been lucky so far because they have faced crappy teams like Russia and Slovakia. I mean come on, Slovakia? WTF yo! Tonight, USA will rip Canada apart and all the canucks will go crying into their mapleleafs. Hockey is Canada's game? I dont think so!

Hockey is going to the RED WHITE AND BLUE

BET ON IT.

I GUARANTEE IT.

Other than Hendersons goal in the summit series, this is probably the greatest moment in Canadian hockey history. Unbelievable game and what a finish.

Mad props to the US team who were absolutely amazing too.

Also Canada sets the record for most Gold medals in the Winter Olympics

Obviously like Team USA, but more of me was just glad they got to the gold medal game but more glad that Canada ended up winning. I feel like that, more than anything else, was going to end these games on a high note. If Canada got to the gold medal game and lost, to the U.S. of all teams, it would have been a huge downer for the Games.

Time to eat my words, huh?

For the Canada bashing comments I made on here last week, I humbly apologize for them. I admit that I Was Wrong. Even though I never watched the game, due to my fear that my viewership would cause Canada to lose on a telekinetic level, perhaps after those comments, I had no right at all to watch the game live. So all TVs in my purvey here were shut off. And I only turned them back on after the game ended, and someone else's reaction to what they saw and notification caused me to turn the TV back on.

I just didn't deserve it this time.

But I digress.

To Team Canada, Thank You for achieving Hockey's Ultimate International win for us. This country will never win a bigger prize internationally again.

Thank you, and Congratulations, Team Canada.

For all of Vancouver 2010 as well. =)

Records for most overall medals and most golds are kind of pointless, because there are additional events added almost every year. This year added ski cross, in which a Canadian woman took gold, for example. In 2014 they almost surely will add women's ski jumping. Things like that.

Similar to when movies "break records" for opening weekend income, etc.

Not as often as they add new ones. Baseball and softball, for example, were removed from the 2012 Olympic program while Rugby Sevens and Golf were added to the 2016 program. That is not counting added disciplines. In 2008, cycling added BMX events.

Just an example, in 1932, the last time Team USA won the Olympic Winter Games medal table, there were 42 total medals given out. In 2010, there were 258.
