Canadian Women Rally to Beat U.S. in Overtime for Hockey Gold
The women’s gold-medal hockey game on Thursday night between the United States and Canada followed an eerily familiar script. Four years after the men’s teams from the two countries played a riveting Olympic final that was decided in overtime, the women did the same.
This time, as in Vancouver in 2010, Canada came out on top when the forward Marie-Philip Poulin beat the American goaltender, Jessie Vetter, with a shot from the left circle with 11:50 remaining in overtime. Poulin, 22, also scored the goal that sent the game into overtime.
What a moment! Exciting! We are so proud of you and congratulations, Canada.

Congratulations! 🙂
Thank you. Got to dress up for work to daydream. 😛
Pajamas? (laughs)
At this time, yes until the weekend is over (belly laugh)
Telecommuters wear their home clothes while working. I want such a job. (laughs)
They do too, eh? That is my weekend job. Tee hee.
And Canada eliminated USofA. Finale on Sunday. Wish us luck for the men’s hockey team.
You’ll get the gold. I could feel it. 🙂
(I looked at my crystal ball awhile ago.)
We did! we did! we did!
My crystal ball never fails. 🙂
Woo hoo, I missed it the game 😦
I did not see it either, I was working. 😛
Same here 😦
Oh yeah, and what an exciting game, eh? Loved it!! 🙂
I haven’t gotten to see the game yet but have been watching for the score. Congratulations Canada. I hear it was a great game. Congratulations to all of the athletes!
You and me both. I just listen to the sports enthusiast and get the thrill through them. Overall, I think USA is still leading on medals.
I think USA is. What I admire about the Olympics is that all athletes discipline and sacrifice to get there. And when one wins, there is joy around the world regardless of the team.
And has anyone else noticed the absolute joy of the female snow boarders and skiers who shrug off bad runs and losses? With smiles? They are so awesome!
I suppose this is why we call it sportsmanship. No sore loser.
😀 That is the best part about it.
BOOYA!! Another gold EH!!
Oh YAH! Just like last year. I hope the men’s hockey team will win.
HOPING! tomorrow is the gold qualifying and then Sunday at 4am is the gold ‘competition’. You going to be up to watch that? 😀
Oh, I don’t know. I can’t stand the suspense of watching. I always wait until the last period. Which bar are you going to hit?
Eh, None lol I will watch from home with a bag of popcorn in hand and hope I don’t throw it at the TV because of all the unfair fouls that the damn referees always seem to have against us lol
Ha ha ha ha……
oh and wow what a comeback huh? 0-2 to 3-2 canada!
That is the best revenge. See, that’s why I waited for the O/T to listen to all the drama.
lol you KNEW there’d be O/T
Just a hunch. 😛
Andy, how come I don’t see any post from you on my reader?
There’s been tons of bugs like these lately, I’ve noticed you gotta scroll all the way down to the bottom and then scroll back up and POOF the older posts come up :O
okay, I’ll try that trick. thanks.
Let me know, I’ve lost quite a few followers cause they told me I wasn’t reading their posts, well that’s cause reader has a habit of not showing all 😦
Found you way down and I can that there’s a whole bunch that did not see on my reader. As for losing some reader, nothing to fret, I treat blogging as writing on Metro News. We don’t know who reads and who does not like our post. I’m still here for you. 😛
I appreciate that! 🙂 I enjoy metro news over 24HR, the format and content is so much better. But, that’s just my opinion 🙂
Metro has high quality news and better writers. 24hr is owned by Pattison and I stay away from his business. 😛
Yeah, I’ve heard lots of people say that. Interesting, given he’s one of the richest in the city
Ruthless when it comes to business mind you he is a good philanthropist..
Yep from car salesman to one of the richest, That takes a certain mind.
