@SGhockeychika4 Outside the US, you hear Yankee or Yank as a term to describe Americans fairly frequently. By giving that statement about it, you make yourself look like an ass. Its just a word.
@SGhockeychika4 Jepp, and thats why they are doing allright. But they miss out on the effect of having millions of people practising the sport on a weekly basis, This is the effect that breeds tallent in the western world and in regards to this effect the number og active people within the sport is important and this will ofthen depend heavily on the population of the country., But because of poverty China has relatively few people practising sports the way we do in the western world.
@SGhockeychika4 actually Norway among others also have a surplus. But a surpulus in a countrys trade or economy dosent nesseseraly mean that the people in the country are better off than a country that dosent have a surplus at that time. I have lived in the States for a year and been to China. And people in the States generally have more money and more free time to focus on sports while the general people in china dont have the same luxury of fokusing on sports to the same degree.
@SGhockeychika4 Actually no. Im not Canadian, im Norwegian so no im way aheah of you when it comes to totall winter olympic medals 303 to your 253. And we only have a fraction of your population (and before you say anything, yes you guys rule the summer olympics). But population is obviously a factor to consider as well as wealth (the reason china and india sucks) and many other factors like weather. But my point is I dont think a system where you count all medals as equall is a good one.
@SGhockeychika4 Yes I am, in the sense that a gold is a better acheivement than silver. If we are just going to say oh we have this many medals then why stop at bronze, we should be counting fourth places and fifth and so on. My point is a victory is worth more than a second place in the same way that a third place is worth more than a fourth..
im glad we beat the yanks, but Ryan Miller really deserved a gold medal. Team USA seems to be getting better every year, I think its only a matter of time before they get some gold (Olympic or IIHF)
That medal count is gay, you cant count all medals as equals and say oh we have 37 so we lead the stats. Gold is the most important so you need to rank it with most gold first. So Canada should be on top with 14 and Germany in second with 10 and USA in third with 9 beating Norway who also has 9 because they have more silver....
it should be a point system. like 5 points for gold, 3 for silver and 2 for bronze or something. that way it is still possible for a country to win the standings with bronze and silver but not as easy!
Canada and Usa should both be proud. Usa won 37 medals overall, the most any nation has won in a winter olympics. Canada won 14gold, the most in any winter olympics. GO CANADA!
The USA is pretty good at building airplanes (Boeing 777). They're also pretty good at sport (37 medals). They're pretty good at education (Harvard, Yale, MIT, Caltech), and what about health-care? Well, I hear Mayo Clinic's pretty good too.
How about you stop being ignorant and making all of us Canadians look bad. I'm so sick of my fellow Canucks bashing the USA for no other reason than we won a hockey game. I love my country but I don't pretend we're perfect.
Hardly, irrelevant. We walked away with the most medals overall. Competed in a sport (hockey) that we weren't even expected to advance past the round robin. Your absolutely right when you say that some of my countrymen are sore losers. It was a great game, but a tough loss. Definitely does not mean we are "becoming irrelevant on the world stage". Both countries should just stop squabbling and move on. Canada was a phenomenal host, US was a strong competitor. People on both sides need to relax.
@Dalby1617 Shut the fuck up, all these people bashing Americans for being arrogant, and ignorant, then making comments like you just did. But, oh no when somebody asides from an American makes comments like that, it's not being arrogant or ignorant.
"an american i actually like and doesn't dumb down their reputation" Fuck you, oh yea you're so much superior than most americans right, you arrogant FUCKER
i was complementing him, chill bud, your the type of american i was talking about in my first comment.. i wouldn't have such a low respect for america if it wasnt for such winners like yourself.
bah you stupid fuckin american,,, hopfully most americans arn't like you..maybe u should take United states of of the country your from on your profile... fucking retard.
i just said i'm canadian, and i wouldn't want people to know i'm a socialist canbadian, where fags, rag headed terrorists, and communists walk the streets without fear of persecution.
Miller showed a lot of class going to the closing ceremonies and even smiling. That's a lot more class shown than some other Americans (assuming) here.
It was a great game, it was an amazing Olympics, and for Canadians, a lifetime of memories. 0 Gold in the next summer games? So what? This was Winter and on home snow/turf/slush. Very cool.
Congrats to all athletes, coaches, and parents involved, and to the volunteers.
Thank you Sidney Crosby for the winning goal . This was an awesome game played by both countries . It was anybodys game , right down to the wire . When our two teams get together , my Girl and I make time to sit and watch these games.
Oh definitely. Could you imagine the show both sides would put on after this? Great game from both sides. Proud of US boys for doing as much as they did. But the Canadians stuck it out. See you boys in Sochi, 2014. Can't wait for round 3!
I read that the NHL is none too thrilled with shutting down for 2 weeks to play somewhere off the North American continent. There's specualtion they may not support the Sochi games where they would not get the coverage they got in Canada. They expect lower TV audiences due to time time zones differences. They are also concerned they may not get the dream matchup they got this time around for the Gold Medal Game. Let's hope they reconsider.
Oh I didn't know that. That's pretty crazy. Well nonetheless phenomenal gold medal game. No matter what side you were on, it was an "edge of your seat game". Sucks US lost, but it was good for Canada. The whole country was behind this team. Canada walked away with the most golds but it probably wouldn't have matter if they lost this one. Great game, next its all about the Stanley Cup. Hopefully my Blues can get it together for another playoff run!
Crazy, but I guess the reality of the almighty dollar prevails. Even though I appreciate that it's a business, I still hope they do it. I'll go back to my Red Wings in the meantime (Michigan boy).
This was the cherry on the top for Canada to be sure.
damn i am mad that team u.s.a. lost but i do have to give respect to Canada for the win and what a hell of a olympic games it has been thank you Canada for the fun time. damn it.
Canada was favored before the games even began. It was supposed to be a Canada v. Russia gold medal game. Even after the American 5-2 win. Canada was expected to come back with a fire and meet them again in the final, which they did. The game against Russia was a laugher. Canada simply dismantled them. Canada was hardly the underdog. Broduer, Iginla, Luongo, Niedermayer, Pronger, Boyle, Thornton, Marleau, and Morrow, are all over 30, actually. Whose mistaken now?
Good game Canada. Better game USA. A team of young players, many of whom never tasted Olympic competition. Takes on the world Hockey giant. Has, arguably, one of the best comebacks in Olympic history. Runs a star studded Canadian team into OT. Both teams put their best out their. But its all about the future for US Hockey. 2014 will be a spectacle. US persevered and exceeded expectations. What else is new? Good game Canada. God Bless America.
Your greatly mistaking, USA did have a very good game, and so did Canada, but Canada was expected too loose overall. Maybe it is because USA does exceed expectations, but it might aswell have something to do with Canada placing seventh, four years ago in Turin. And maybe USA did have a great comeback, but in the end they lost. And The only players actually over 25 on the Canadian team were infact, Martin Brodeur, Luongo, Niedermier, Nash, and Iginla. The rest were all younger players.
@rrrnnnrrrful Why did the U.S. attack Iraq? keeping the world free!!! LOL LOL Your getting your ass KICKED IN THE WAR AND THE WHOLE WORLS KNOWS IT.. PLEASE SAVE THE USA RULES.. WHAT A JOKE LOL LOL LOSER
The comments for this video disappoint me. When I saw the faces of Team USA members as they accepted their silver medals, I just wanted to tell all of them that they had a great tournament. I'm happy Canada won, but I have nothing but respect for the American athletes. We should be celebrating a strong North American victory at these Olympics instead of petty arguing. Both teams were good and it could have been anybody's match. It was an exciting game and the boys put on a good show. Bravo!
awesome comment by such a stand up person. im reading all these comments from Canadians and i can't believe what they are saying about the US?! i never realized there was such HATE for the US from Canadians. American's don't feel at all the same way Canada in general feels. we embrace Canada far more than they do us i guess. makes me not want to visit anymore. :( we are just people, divided by what? an invisible line? government? a flag? our lineage is so similar too. descendants of all walks.
You picked a hell of a place (YouTube) to draw conclusions about anti American/Canadian sentiment based on the opinions of little trolling kids who have more pimples than pubes. Any normal human being knows that no country can be the best at everything. Let the little kids play and move on.
ha! i say, "good game!" and all these Canadian's grill me about how everyone in the US is fat and kills babies... you're right, hell of a place. people get a lot of balls behind a keyboard.
cheers to that. Congrats Canada on an unsuprising win at your own game. lol. But kidding aside GG to Canada and thumbs up to my americans for giving em a fight. And for all of the Canucks talking shit and bragging about the gold in hockey...ok ok. you won. did you want to rent the podium from America since we own it. I mean you guys paid for it with your "Own the Opprobium" program, the least we could do is let you use it. lol
Crosby doesn't get enough credit. Just like Gretzky. But the facts are the facts, Crosby is a top player. And all my collections of Crosby just went up in price : ) Way to Go Sid !!
@mathmatucla: When Gretzky first started out alot of people said it was just luck. He went through the same thing Crosby is going through. Gretzky gets alot of credit, but it took time. And some still say it was only luck. I have always liked both players very much.
@Mikevdog: I was talking about when Gretzky first started out. He went through hell trying to prove himself. The awful things people said and some still do. That is what I meant. Gretzky is one of the Best in my Books.
I didn't gloat when the US won. I fully expected the Canadians would be back and the result could go the other way. I hope this rivalry continues--great for the fans and for hockey. How can that be bad?
Proud to be Canadian and topping the Americans in hockey. 3rd in the medal standings but the most gold medals than any other country. Vancouver 2010 will be the most memorable not only for Canadians but for everyone who came and participated! Well done Vancouver and athletes!
All it takes is one goal to win. Canada won. Some people in the United States seem to have a problem with this. It was the best players of Canada and the U.S. Canada took the Gold, Epic Win. Hockey is our game !
hahaha canada has a good rep? no one gives a shit about canada.
if you really think the US players were shocked you're fucking stupid, they know canada is good. they were just upset because they were so close. fact is... canada had an all star team... and BARELY WON.
yea, and in my opnion it was a great, close, EVEN game. all these canada talking so much shit are stupid because they all know how close that game was. i respect canada's team, but fans saying hockey is your game are stupid.
@393martian Why can't we be exuberantly happy about something we really wanted to happen in our favour? Yes, I understand some people are a little bit over the top up here with the historic win, but just take it all in stride, much like we always do when ignorant people assume Toronto and Vancouver are "all in the same area." :) Though we silently cringe, XD!
However, props to Team USA. A game well played; Parise's last-minute goal really got me scared for my boys.
Did you see Ryan Miller at the closing ceremonies? He was actually smiling and holding up his medal. It was good to see he wasn't dejected like he was right after the game. Life goes on!
Agreed. It was a great game. First game goes to the US, the second to Canada. I think the second game counted more. A third game--who knows?
I think the Canadians claim it as their game since it originated there and there are so many Canadians playing at the collegiate and professional levels. Even my beloved Red Wings has 12Canadians on the team and only 6 from the US. Even the Swedes, with 8, out-number the US players.
With 2 golds in the last 50 years, I don't see the US dominating anytime soon! It just won't happen. There are just so many great Canadian players. I'm happy it isn't the Russians who are dominating anymore like they did through the 1980's.
I love my Red Wings and 40% of the team is Canadian.
i never said we dominate hockey, but we did not get dominated either. canada did NOT dominate. a shootout with switzerland, loss to US, and overtime win to US is not dominating.
And congratulations for the red wings i really dont care who is on their team.
I agree with your post. My only point is that many of the NHL players who beat our guys in the Olympics play in the NHL. For me, it's like saying black players don't dominate the NBA and I don't care who says they do!
Every championship team struggles at times. Wins are all they remember. Like the old saying goes--"they never ask how, just how many."
i agree that championship teams struggle, my team is the lakers and they do not always dominate., they just pull out wins when they need to. i was just getting annoyed of hearing racist shit talking about the US and that canada kicked our ass. i know you know that is not true
I don't understand it myself. Some folks become fans and lose their grip on reality. US wins the first game, Canada the second one. It could as easily go the other way if they met again.
I still love the big moment when someone steps up and makes a play to change the game. Great for all the fans on both sides of the border.
@john123wayne The International Olympic Committee ranks nations by the number of gold medals they earn, not the total number of medals. The world looks at us as a third rate country? That's ignorant, and completely untrue, we have a good reputation on a global scale, whereas the same cannot be said for the US.
3rd rate country? You do realize pretty much all the major city polls conduct that all the top 5 most live-able cities in North America are in Canada. Vancouver ranking 3rd, 2nd and even 1st in some of them.
You see, unlike U.S. we like to spend our tax payers money on home soil and not bully other countries.
Danny Williams, the premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, had his heart surgery done in the States. I thought that was interesting. Why did he do that? I'm just curious.
Silly "AP". Canada tops the US for all Gold, period. In fact, it tops every nation. Not just in this Winter Olympics, but all-time. Not a bad showing from a population 1000 percent smaller...Hey...AP...Crosby's hair was a little messy..Better get right on that, you super-sleuths you.
What is that historical revisionism? If you're talking about winter olympics all-time then you're way behind Norway, a country of less than 5 million people. And Canada is behind some other countries too, US among them.
im afraid that there r still some americans who want to believe canada cheated. stop with this bs especially with ohno's dq. he was dq'ed not because the judges were canadians, he deserved to be dq'ed. stop whinning like a bunch of fags and grow up!
canada didnt cheat, im american and i know that. they did well, the refs in these games did suck tho. there were so many offsides calls missed by both teams. but yea canada didnt cheat.
@TaraMeikle who lives in the country with the worlds largest economy, strongest military, best athletes, and culture. and who lives in canada the asshole of the north, and england's bitch. ;) that would by you
Seems Americans like to swear. ^_^ You've got me there, but last I checked we were talking about the Olympics and not trying to start a petty argument over the internet. So take off, eh?
@rawjokes I don't think you've won a war, come to think of it. Best athletes? You should have incited them to the olympics. Largest economy? You're the most indebted nation on Earth begging to sell debt to the Chinese and the rest of the world.....You're not even a real country....But your 'own the bronze' programme did very well :)
@winterowinter haha ok we are chinas main consumer, we fall they fall. we can take hits in our economy like this because we do have the world's largest economy. In war, are you crazy we bailed out your mother england in wwii, we got other independence from your same mother england, whom you are still a commonwealth to, and is the reason why you can have unverisal health care. So ram that up your cold asshole, if we ever fall, you are just scrubs..
@rawjokes China is buying up gold like nobody's business in anticipation of dumping your worthless toilet paper. With India and Brazil in the mix, American consumerism isn't a need, its a temporary convenience. Mother England? That strange, your federal reserve is owned by British bankers. You're not even a real country. You bailed out no-one except in your Hollyweird revisionist fantasy movies. You sat on your fat ass for 4 years while the word fought the fight, crawling in at the last moment.
@rawjokes Universal healthcare here was the creation of Canadian premier Tommy Douglas. You're just sounding silly now. If you *ever* fail? You already have. Why do you think we have been busy forging ties with the superpowers of China and India? You're just a convenience. They come and go.
@rawjokes You're not helping matters with your whining. It's bad enough Team USA to look at the shocked faces of Team USA. Don't add to the perception people like you give Americans. Most Americans will simply accept the fact that they got beat fair and square without having to resort to picking on people online.
Wait, with 14 gold medals, shouldn't Canada be placed 1st? Then Germandy, and US, and Norway? I always thought you count the number of golds, then silvers and bronze to make the list... Following that logic- one gold is worth more than 100 silvers... It's how I was told they count... lol
I tried to come up with a new scoring system that would help Canada get first, unfortunately after the math, the order remains exactly the same. In my point system: Gold Medals are worth 3 points, Silver worth 2, Bronze worth 1. The US got 70 Points, Germany got 63, and Canada got 61.
Oh really? Norway is the only country to have ever won over 100 golden winter olympic medals. Oh, and also the only one with over 300 winter olympic medals in total. So yeh, suck on that while Northug breaks into your house and rapes your mom with his own personal ski pole.
@BGirlFreezinLegz no one cares about the winter games, and no one cares about norway. other then norway. look at who has the most gold medals EVER!...where is norway?
Im talking about never hearin the end of crosby scoring. He gets way to much credit. I dont care about canada winning, i have no faith in america at all. Crosby is an alright guy, but his fans are frankly a bunch of faggot canadians who think they are the best at hockey.
It`s amazing that norway is on the top 4 !!!!!!!

Great Olympics Canada, first you kill someone before it starts, then you screw up Opening, lets stand here and watch
nothing happen. Skaters complain the whole Olympics ice is bad, turns out the Zams are faulty. Either no snow or too
much snow. As for hockey, if most of the
teams were not in the US what a sad
little sport it would be. USA makes hockey what it is.

In the history of Olympic medals won combined summer and winter the US boasts by far the most with 2,547. Canada with 404. Who's laughing now?

listen, listen.
Hockey is to Canada as America is to fucking up the world.
It was pre-written destiny they were going to win
you have a right to rub it in our faces, just remember that the USA took home more medals than anyone and we own the world.
So I say, have you hockey and enjoy your cold, enclosed lives.
Why is it that your Countrymen are coming to Miami, Florida in the USA to get their surgeries done? hmm.

The comments for this video disappoint me. When I saw the faces of Team USA members as they accepted their silver medals, I just wanted to tell all of them that they had a great tournament. I'm happy Canada won, but I have nothing but respect for the American athletes. We should be celebrating a strong North American victory at these Olympics instead of petty arguing. Both teams were good and it could have been anybody's match. It was an exciting game and the boys put on a good show. Bravo!

awesome comment by such a stand up person. im reading all these comments from Canadians and i can't believe what they are saying about the US?! i never realized there was such HATE for the US from Canadians. American's don't feel at all the same way Canada in general feels. we embrace Canada far more than they do us i guess. makes me not want to visit anymore. :( we are just people, divided by what? an invisible line? government? a flag? our lineage is so similar too. descendants of all walks.

@393martian Why can't we be exuberantly happy about something we really wanted to happen in our favour? Yes, I understand some people are a little bit over the top up here with the historic win, but just take it all in stride, much like we always do when ignorant people assume Toronto and Vancouver are "all in the same area." :) Though we silently cringe, XD!
However, props to Team USA. A game well played; Parise's last-minute goal really got me scared for my boys.

393martian 1 year ago
Agreed. It was a great game. First game goes to the US, the second to Canada. I think the second game counted more. A third game--who knows?
I think the Canadians claim it as their game since it originated there and there are so many Canadians playing at the collegiate and professional levels. Even my beloved Red Wings has 12Canadians on the team and only 6 from the US. Even the Swedes, with 8, out-number the US players.
Mikevdog 1 year ago
ok thats wonderful.
you guys can claim it as your own when you dominate. it was a great game, hope for a rematch soon.
393martian 1 year ago
With 2 golds in the last 50 years, I don't see the US dominating anytime soon! It just won't happen. There are just so many great Canadian players. I'm happy it isn't the Russians who are dominating anymore like they did through the 1980's.
I love my Red Wings and 40% of the team is Canadian.
Mikevdog 1 year ago
i never said we dominate hockey, but we did not get dominated either. canada did NOT dominate. a shootout with switzerland, loss to US, and overtime win to US is not dominating.
And congratulations for the red wings i really dont care who is on their team.
393martian 1 year ago
I agree with your post. My only point is that many of the NHL players who beat our guys in the Olympics play in the NHL. For me, it's like saying black players don't dominate the NBA and I don't care who says they do!
Every championship team struggles at times. Wins are all they remember. Like the old saying goes--"they never ask how, just how many."
Mikevdog 1 year ago
i agree that championship teams struggle, my team is the lakers and they do not always dominate., they just pull out wins when they need to. i was just getting annoyed of hearing racist shit talking about the US and that canada kicked our ass. i know you know that is not true
393martian 1 year ago
I don't understand it myself. Some folks become fans and lose their grip on reality. US wins the first game, Canada the second one. It could as easily go the other way if they met again.
I still love the big moment when someone steps up and makes a play to change the game. Great for all the fans on both sides of the border.

@john123wayne The International Olympic Committee ranks nations by the number of gold medals they earn, not the total number of medals. The world looks at us as a third rate country? That's ignorant, and completely untrue, we have a good reputation on a global scale, whereas the same cannot be said for the US.
NickPalmer9 1 year ago 6
3rd rate country? You do realize pretty much all the major city polls conduct that all the top 5 most live-able cities in North America are in Canada. Vancouver ranking 3rd, 2nd and even 1st in some of them.

Wait, with 14 gold medals, shouldn't Canada be placed 1st? Then Germandy, and US, and Norway? I always thought you count the number of golds, then silvers and bronze to make the list... Following that logic- one gold is worth more than 100 silvers... It's how I was told they count... lol

They they should be placed 1st..
I tried to come up with a new scoring system that would help Canada get first, unfortunately after the math, the order remains exactly the same. In my point system: Gold Medals are worth 3 points, Silver worth 2, Bronze worth 1. The US got 70 Points, Germany got 63, and Canada got 61.
So no help from my scoring system. :(
