Regardless of which team you were rooting for in the finals, the passion by both teams (including the fans) as the closing minutes took place was second to none. Not only could you tell how important it was to Team Canada as they buried the EN goal with just under two minutes left, but then the shear anger by Sweden as one of its players whipped his stick in disgust showed just how much passion these players had. Great atmosphere for any hockey fan.

You call that a fight?

That was a lot of F'ing aggression! Coming off my 17/21 week, this was disappointing.

14.....F!

QFT No, it really isn't. It's not what the masses of LGW make it out to be.

Winter Classic Livewire Feed I didn't want this to get buried in the GDT as I'm sure many people will want to see this. Enjoy!

Massive brainfart on my part there...I've had a couple Budweisers tongiht. I was thinking of Larsson. Nonetheless....way to early to write him off as you seem to have. McCollum has *so* much career ahead of him and to think you've got him pinned is ridiculous. Holland and Co. wouldn't waste a 1st rounder if they didn't see something in him.

F Tavares completes the hat trick.

I always find it funny when people say the AHL is Junior to strengthen their argument, and then a completely different debate sparks and people state the AHL is professional hockey to once again strengthen their new argument. How convenient. Sidenote: The AHL isn't junior hockey no matter how you slice it.

Wow...blatant too-many-men on the ice penalty for Canada unnoticed.

Yeah, if its one thing the Wings drafting is known for.....its failing. mindfly, when you have the credentials the Wings' brass has or both goalies' respective careers are well underway, then you can make that comment. Until then you're purely speculating.

The great and all-knowing mindfly has spoken! . . . . . . . Gimme a break. Do you realize how premature that statement is? Boo you T-Ruff! Gotta love how LGW can bring fans together only to tear them apart! Go USA!

He's doing terrible tonight...but that's not what you said. You said all tournament, and he's been just fine coming into this game. Don't blow things out of proportion simply because he's struggling mightily tonight.

Dumb PK to give up when you're team steals the momentum back after giving up 4 answered. Edit: ........Wow, that's a weak goal.

Great net-front presence gets awarded with a goal!

His GAA coming into this game is 1.67 and he's 3-0. Yeah...that's garbage alright! [/sarcasm]

You've got to be kidding me! I've been watching since puck-drop but just decided to start posting. Either way...there's absolutely no excuse for being down 4-3 within 10 minutes of being up 3-0. Get your s*** together USA!

I haven't seen him thus far. I'll let you know if I spot him. Edit: Meech is on the ice which is kind of telling in itself. That was hysterical! Vintage Osgood.

Lidstrom is *ON THE ICE AND PRACTICING!*

Cleary being interviewed! Wings on the ice!

Bowman is being interviewed. Says that its weird playing the Red Wings but has great memories in Detroit. Currently talking about how young the Hawks are (I.E. only 4 players are married). .... HA! The Honda Zamboni to be used tomorrow fell off the truck that delivered it. It's working fine now though.

The Blackhawks are taking the ice for practice in less than 10 minutes. ....and now they've taken the ice. Sidenote: This is really incredible to see and have your favorite team be a part of. Picture Time for the Hawks:
