I think the rivalry between the two teams is simply too intense and bitter, for them to be able to act fair outside of the game.

Oh God she actually said it sucks to win the silver. On national TV.

ya,lol. Soo true though

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

I bet the Finnish women would love to have it! But of course, in hockey and in curling, you have to win to get Gold, but Lose to get Silver....kinda does suck, but still! You could be like the Swedish ladies and have nothing!

Oh well, the mens team will with the Gold and Canada will get the Silver I'm sure so she should be happy then. I just think Cami is just horrible to look at. Her nose has either been beaten so many times or it's just naturally out of place and goes to the side. I can't comment on the Cassie girl as I have no clue who she is at all...

I'm just a wanderer in the desert winds...

Setting up to be a good day :) Wish I was able to watch this one but I'll totally be tuned into Canada tonight. And to think all the national shows I've been watching/listening to say the NHL needs to pull out of the Olympics because they don't get prime time coverage in the States. I think Americans, above anyone else in the world, forget that there actually IS a world outside of the borders Lol

My wife has been back since June 5, 2007. Now we're just livin' man, L I V I N :)

Holy ####### that was an intense finish! Thank goodness for timely saves by Luongo...

I tell you, there is MUCH to admire in this Slovakian team. Such awesome sneak attacks. They have so much talent...they lull you into thinking they're nothing but a defensive team, and then they strike!

So glad we managed to pull off a win, and ALSO so glad it was close. A lot of people expected a rout. Don't underestimate those Slovaks! Hope they get bronze.

Now it comes down to Sunday for Team Canada. Woo!

Tonite Canada played just as I had feared they might after coming off a high energy game against Russia.

We were very flat to-day no speed and hype the team was very sluggish. Not sure what causes this after a huge win but it happens I've been involved in these type games several times.

They should be more energized going into the Gold game and hopefully they'll be a wound up as they were for the Russians.

I honestly think it was a case of them looking past the team they were playing. I'm sure they were thinking about a rematch with Team USA, moreso than thinking about defeating Slovakia. And it very nearly cost them! I've been saying from the start that Slovakia is a true dark horse, and they very nearly pushed it into overtime...

Well, let's hope they do better against the U.S.! I think Team USA has to be the "favorite" going into that game (they're better rested, and have less pressure). Still, it comes down to just one game, and anything can happen!
