Prepare for a all out long tough ass kicking in Vancouver couresty of Team Canada. And no American referee will be calling this game and her 12 straight penalties called in Salt Lake City.

@ralphyization Ignore the fin part i have no clue why i added them, outside of pruducing good players they really have never had gold contending teams. Im surrounded by fins being a dallas fan must be why.

@ralphyization US is as good or almost as good as canada in Hockey, Individual stats wise you guys have th edge but up until the past few olympics or world titles the sport was mostly dominated by the fins and soviets and america had teams here and there. TEAM wise no canadian team is more dominate, PLAYER wise im not even going to try to comment cuz canadas list of players makes americas list look like a joke. But also ignore Hitman he is just an ignorant fool who sucks at sports.

@Wolfie292 I'm just guessing here, but probably some of them are going to move to Canada in the off-Olympic years to learn the "Canadian" hockey mentality! The difference, I think, and this applies to the men, as much as the women. The competitions that mean the most, Olympics, Stanley Cup, they "kick" it up a notch. Play when you';re hurt, take the stick to the face, etc.... for the team!!! No selfish retaliation, or trying to go end to end to score! Huge difference!!

@HiiTM4N5595 If you're laughing so hard, why are you posting on a hockey web site? I guess SOME people do care, eh?

[HiiTM4N5595]

[ralphyization]

@Irekyu We have two national sports, Hockey is our offical winter sport, and Lacrosse is our offical summer sport.
