- 4 on 4 on big ice (especially with ((smaller)) women) is terrible.
- That said, 4 on 4 on big ice, you MUST play a possession game and you MUST play your entire bench who are all totally jacked up.
- The shoot-out is a horrible way to decide a hockey game.
- I hope this rivalry will continue for years because it makes for damn good sports TV.

I kind of hope it doesn’t continue for years. It’s a bit ridiculous that I know that every four years on or around 21 February It’s pretty much a lock that Canada and the US are going to play for the gold. For years we’ve waited For the other countries to catch up it just hasn’t happened. It’s hard to take this seriously as a winter Olympic event. I’d rather Canada and the US just played a beat of seven series. I didn’t even bother to watch the first game because I knew that the two would meet each other again for the gold.
