Olympics - Discussion

That's so annoying that everyone can't view all vids/media regardless of what country they live in!

I need to be in bed, sleeping for 12 hours, the Olympics kill me. I don't know how long I'll last but I don't want to miss this!

It's probably a net neutrality issue. or geoblocking.

I'm going to faint.

My favourite. A shoot out.

Congrats What a heck of a game. Five rounds of a shoot out and still tied. It all came down to one on one shoot out. They waited a long time for this, enjoy!

So unfair but that's the way it goes. I felt bad when it was the other way around in a shoot out. I despise shootouts.

was awesome for the last four years leading up to this. Great game on both sides.

Great game on both sides! I really wanted the to finally break through.  It’s been a looong 20 years  but congrats on fantastic play. Both teams should be so proud.  This is sport at its best.  :alltens:

Gee you ladies stayed up late. I wonder if they will repeat showing. I booked out of here and didn't watch. Sounded like a good game.

It was a terrific game by both teams. 1-0, 1-1,- 2-1, 2-2. No decision after overtime which is 4 on 4 players for 20 minutes. Keep in mind this is a much bigger ice surface. So many close calls by both teams.

Then the dreaded shoot out. 5 players for each team, one player at a time shoot against the goalie. (Which is so stressful to watch) The team with the most goals wins! However after the shootout, they were still tied. In NHL you have to choose 5 different players. In the Olympics you can have the same player shoot all 5 if you want.

Then the dreaded 1:1 which is basically one player takes a shot at the goalie. Say for example the first player misses, and the next player from the other team takes their turn and they get the puck in, they win.

I don't like it in the NHL and I don't like it in the Olympics. They should play a regular game just like they used to before the shootout came into effect. First team that scores win's the OT game.

I'm glad for the USA team, they have waited 20 yrs for this. Women's hockey is fantastic hockey.

Unbelievable. I hope the show the game again.

I fell asleep in the second period so I was pleasantly surprised to wake up and see that Team USA won. And 38 years to the date of the Miracle on Ice.

Also, the winning shot was downright filthy. My goodness.

I had to find it again this morning to watch it again, because she had me fooled too. I knew she was going to fake it, but I didn't expect it twice. Smart play.

After 3 regular periods, one overtime period, 5 players on each team take turns shooting, 3 1/2hours later, it all came down to this one player shot. The Canadian went first, missed, and then this happened!
