Now that the Vancouver Games have officially closed, a few thoughts, questions and observations: While the U.S. won the most medals, it sure felt like the Canadians "won" the Games. The Americans' record 37 medals included only nine golds, while 14 of Canada's 26 -- third-most overall -- were gold. That record gold total included victories at practically every venue, from the sliding track to the speedskating oval, on skates and skis and snowboards and... February 28, 2010
Brenden Morrow has played in the NHL's Western Conference finals. He's won some important playoff games and series, and some huge regular-season games. None of those victories came remotely close to matching the joy - his words, not mine - he experienced after Sidney Crosby's goal gave Canada a 3-2 win over the United States and an Olympic gold medal. "We've won a lot of big games and done a lot of good things in...

Sidney Crosby is the world's best hockey play. Or the second best, if you prefer Alexander Ovechkin. But he didn't play like it during the first 60 minutes of the men's gold medal hockey game Sunday afternoon at Hockey Canada Place. Actually, Crosby looked more like the 100th best player. Maybe, the 200th best. He was virtually invisible unless you count the third period breakaway he flubbed that would've given Canada a two-goal lead with...
The greatest players in their sport do it when it matters most. It doesn't matter if they played well, or poorly. They have the skill set to win a game at any time. That's what Sidney Crosby did on Sunday afternoon to lead Canada to a 3-2 win over the USA and a gold medal. Crosby had been a non-factor the entire game, failing to squeezing off two forgettble shots in regulation, including a...
Sidney Crosby, a non-factor the last three games, showed why he's a great player. He made a fantastic individual play to win the gold medal for Canda....
Ryan Miller just robbed Jarome Iginla at 15:45 to keep the 4-on-4, 20-minute sudden death OT in tact. The US, for the most part, has controlled the action, but Canada seems to be finding a rhythm. Rick Nash just ripped a wrist shot that forced Miller to make a good save....
The US really controlled the last half of the third period. It kept pressing the action, and it was finally rewarded with Zach Parise's goal. Make no mistake, Parise has been every bit as valuable to this team as Ryan Miller. He has improved every game, and it was no accident coach Ron Wilson had him on the ice at the end of the game. Parise's will and determination - he kept banging away at...
Zach Parise, the USA's best player the entire tournament, scores on a deflection to stun the Canada crowd. They're in shock as we head into OT....
The US has emptied its net for the last 1:17 with a face-off in Canada's zone. This is it..... |
