"Since 1998 US woman's hockey has medaled in every winter Olympics -- 8 times. The men? Only 3 times."

At the Winter Olympics,
American female athletes won 61% of the total medals (20 out of 33)
and 67% of the gold medals (8 out of 12) awarded to the US -
the third time IN A ROW American women outperformed American men at the Winter Games.

And they’ve never embarrassed the nation while doing it.

Congrats to the USA men’s hockey team on their first gold medal since the 80s!
Quite an achievement. In a few more decades you might even be as good as the USA women’s team, who just won their THIRD gold medal since 1998!

Keep grinding, boys.

@rookie,
Did you watch the game? The U.S. were out played in the 2nd and 3rd periods out shot 42 - 28 their goalie won the game for them not the players. His family is from the Netherlands and he is Dutch, they became Americans so proves what immigrants can do.

Hell Trumpster even gave him a medal for his play. They had to go to over time so it was anyone ...[text shortened]... ime coming and a bit of luck involved and a hot Goal Tender arguably the best in the World!!!

I'm sure you are right on that score. In the meantime, these are you 5 min. penalties:

"5-minute major penalties in hockey result in an immediate 5-minute sit-out (and often ejection) for severe infractions, regardless of goals scored by the opposing team
. Key, often automatic, ejections include fighting, boarding, charging, checking to the head, butt-ending, spearing, and slew-footing."

So, once again, no "sitting on a players leg" listed.

sorry!

@Earl,
Not my fault you don't understand hockey well enough to know when a guy is hit low in the knee then landed on by the player with all his weight a dirty hit. If that had been the U.S captain it happened to you would be singing a different tune even though I don't think you understand the game well enough.

You are calling it sitting on a player leg not ...[text shortened]... e a player was sitting on his leg???? NO, the intent to injure was there, not doubt about it.

Follow up, he actually didn't even get a penalty on the play for the dirty hit on Crosby. Something smells bad about this for sure. I am betting an investigation into the incident will be done, camera's everywhere with different angle and NO CALL...Player out for 4 weeks and not even a call on the play. They really need better refs. Hope it will be better in France if NHL players even go. Obviously these refs weren't very good.
