Do you believe in insignificant upsets! Yes!!!
Edited to Add (02/22): So it turns out, not entirely insignificant - the seeding of the medal rounds mean the US must only beat SUI and CZE/FIN to make the Gold Medal game. Canada will now have to beat GER, RUS and SWE/SVK.

And I think Kesler will be okay, because it was such an 'effort' goal. Just about the most impressive empty netter I've seen.
Keep in mind that I live in Washington DC, where people are rooting for Russia because we love Ovechkin so much.

Interesting how irked everyone out there is at us Ice Holes for coming up with an "own the podium" slogan. I guess it's unnerving - sort of like realizing that hobbits can sometimes fight back.

Colbert joked that
Canada usually does just fine in the Olympics. It's just kind of an unfortunate and easily mocked slogan. And Bobby Clarke aside, people just have a hard time seeing Canadian belligerence in an intimidating light.

Btw, all is forgiven. We just got the gold in ice dance. Nice that the Canadian and US couples as such good friends - and both danced so well.

As someone who doesn't care, I am deeply cranky I'm going to be hearing about it as a leading news story. For*ever*.

They should have put Luongo in goal!! I told 'em so!
But Hey, it wasn't the gold medal game..we're not giving it to you guys without a fight!
Now, if Kessler just plays like this when the Canucks start up again, we might forgive him.

And it looks like you're getting your wish, re:Roberto Luongo. Brodeur is not the goalie he once was.
