Our Game
I don't know about the rest of you but I have never had a night quite like that one.
The Parise goal was absolutely crippling. I should have known though. A Crosby overtime winner was in the cards from puck drop and Sid delivered in a big way.
Our country's shining moment...

Canadian Women Win Gold
How bout them Canadians?
The Canadian Women's Hockey Team came through in a big way tonight as they toppled the rival Americans on route to Canada's eighth gold medal. This team was under so much pressure to win coming into these Olympics and came through in a big way.
Interesting to see the reaction of the men's team as they looked on. The women have done their job, now it's up to the guys to get it done on home ice.
Say what you want about the women's game, this Canadian team was dominant from start to finish and deserved those gold medals they received this evening.

Canada to Face Slovakia in Semis
Shocking upset in the late game last night as the scrapy Slovakian team upset the defending champs from Sweden.
Canada will now face Slovakia on Friday night at 9:30 PM EST. In the other semi final the Finns will play the Americans.
Obviously, Slovakia will be no push over. They have scored wins over Russia and Sweden in their surprising tournament thus far.

Luongo Will Start
According to a report from Yahoo Sports, Roberto Luongo will get the nod tomorrow night against the Germans.
While losing to the Americans hurts, having Luongo take over and get a good warm up game against the Germans isn't the worst thing that could happen.

Gotta Be Luongo
Canada dominated this game tonight but just could not get a save when they needed it and that falls on Brodeur. He was overactive all night and seemed to be guessing far too often.
Roberto Luongo has to be the guy from here on out.
The loss against the USA gives Canada a difficult route to gold which includes a game on Tuesday against the Germans and if they can win that, a quarterfinal match up with the Russians.
Could just be me but it seems like Babcock has been over coaching the whole way. Seems to be so desperate to find the perfect linemate for Crosby that he's hurting the team's best player in the process. Leave Nash and Iginla up there and let them work it out.
Pronger should not see the ice the rest of the way. To the "Pronger Sucks" guy who was always on the live blogs bashing Pronger; guess you were right!
Oh and by the way, how in the world does Babcock not call a time out after that shift from the Crosby line? You have to rest them and go back to them with the goalie pulled. No brainer...
Back at it on Tuesday! GO CANADA GO!

Line Juggling Ahead of Game with USA
Mike Babcock is shuffling the deck in preparation for the game with Team USA.
Canada has struggled to find the right mix on the top line and tonight will start with Mike Richards on the top line with Sidney Crosby and Rick Nash. They have tried Bergeron, Iginla and Toews on that top line but have yet to find the right mix.
A good start would be to make sure Crosby is one the ice for each and every power play.
Canada will need to win in regulation to assure they take top spot in the group. The United States is currently holding a one point lead over the Canadians.
Here's hoping the stiff opposition helps the Canadian team elevate their level of play a little bit. They may have been able to get away with a soft approach against the Norwegians and Swiss but will need to get physical with the Americans.
There is a ton of skill on this Canadian roster but it's time to establish an identity against Team USA. Has the makings of the best game of the tournament thus far.
Puck drops at 7:40 eastern time...
