realistically both the USA woman and the USA men could have easily lost
i thought the USA woman deserved to win
i thought the USA men deserved to lose
but the puck bounces in odd ways sometimes
I agree with all of this
before the gold medal game--USA women outscored their opponents 31-1....having said that they needed to pull the goalie to tie the game. Credit to Canada women for getting the 1-0 lead then trying the old NJ Devils "sit on the lead" tactic--it was their only real shot at winning and it almost worked to perfection.
Hats off to USA women--the tying goal was a hard, low bouncing shot that had a good chance at being deflected, it was, it went in and they were the best team. The best team doesn't always win, the 1/5 shots don't always win.
The betting line in the mens game was Canada -125..USA +105..so it wasn't like it was a huge upset.The Canadian men completely dominated the 3rd period and should have scored several times.
The hockey by far was the best of this Olympics.
