This thread started after I posted this to the Cdn Women's Hockey thread...

What a game !!! Don said it best when he posed the question, "Why, if NHL hockey is so poor compared to European hockey, did the gold and silver medals go to Canada and the US ?" Bravo to both teams.

I wouldn't want to be one of those Europeans who were crapping on us when the NHL gets going again. Gonna be a bit of payback coming, I'd say.

I'll add this, too. After the game, in my brother's neighbourhood, there was game after game of pickup on the streets - kids at every turn. I wish I had a sporting goods store.
