I'm surprised they were able to recognize a hockey victory.
Why are they celebrating? Do they understand that the women...won? I'm surprised that they even recognized what was happening.

Poulin's performance probably looked pretty familiar to Eberle...

Oh exactly, ever since they pulled that flag crap in 2002, and the fix was in with the reffing, I just want to see these American girls get silver every single time. And this close... hahah, so sweet.

Whenever people ask me about my favorite game, that 2002 womens is at the top. Just cause the girls had to beat the US and the refs. It wasn't even trying to be hid. 11-1 at one point? Worst most disgraceful thing I had ever seen in hockey.

That's the kinda thing that could curse your team for generations. If you believe in that sort of thing anyway. If your a little stitious like me.

I feel bad for enjoying the looks of disappointment on the faces of the Americans.

Funny that the backup goalies are the only ones smiling.

What's the logic behind using women refs? They were brutal. I assume NHL refs are the best of the best, why not use them?

It was #15 that looked to be pouting - Schleper, I think. I was impressed with the US goalies though, in the way they took their medals, in comparison to the rest of them. Classy.

I assume because the rules are different when it comes to body contact. Just throwing in a ref who is used to NHL body contact/positioning wouldn't be that great.

Still a soft, soft call.

Ultimately though:

'Cross-check' against Canada was weak.
'Slashing' against USA was pathetic.
'Cross-check' against USA was just plain wrong, should have been a penalty shot.

Works out in the end.

To develop woman's sports you really have to have woman coaches and woman refs.

We're going through that struggle right now with woman's football.

Still hard to believe that the US where a goal post away from gold.
