Women's Ice Hockey Gold Medal Round

Watched the last period from the treadmill. U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

The Canadians were so disgusted to take silver that one girl took it right back off. The rest looked like they were taking the hangman's noose.

Maggie Rooney only 20 years old...saved the day against the hardened veterans.

I would have more sympathy for Canada, but for Poulin's cheap shot that didn't get called. They played a little too dirty, even for hockey.

Sorry, it's Maddie Rooney

Well done to a much better skilled US team. congrats to the American ladies.

I said on the USA men go home devastated thread , that shoot outs are not hockey .

Soccer fans may like it after 90 minutes of jogging and faking injuries - but on ice , it's goalie practice .

But those , until changed , are the rules .

Congratulations ladies !!!

USA !!!!

I tend to agree, but Agosta's goal for Canada, and Jocelyn's medal-winner, were works of art.

And did I mention...only 20 years old!!! In a pure skill position!!!

Hate The the shootout but agree it was great hockey . I could not have held my own in my heyday against any of the the medalists .

Way to go ladies. That was a great performance by the Americans and especially by the twins. Hockey girls are awesome.

There were apologies, for disrespecting other who did not medal, or silver/bronze, for taking off medals. these are kids. I agree with the Sports media outlet I work for. Better team won, though we were all cheering for our Canadian girls. It's still nice to see the tears of pride of the American parents in the crowd , who were so proud of there daughters .

At least hockey shootouts are better than soccer shootouts.

Imagine a hockey shootout if it was a Best of Five one-touch Slapshots from a few yards away...

29 year old kids? When does adulthood start nowadays?

It was a dumb move. How many people in the history of the Olympics act like that when awarded silver? Sorry, pull that kind of move, expect to get some criticism. You're a public figure in the Olympics.
