Beating Team Canada all day long POSBANG
As if the women's hockey victory wasn't enough, team USA men just took down Canada in curling (who have been olympic champions the last three games in a row) to go to the gold medal match for the first time EVER!
Me watching the last stone going down the ice:

I'm super tired, but it was worth staying up late to watch that amazing game!!!
USA USA USA USA USA USA
Now, bang me...bang me real good!
February 22nd, 2018 at 9:44 AM ^
What a gold medal game that was!
February 22nd, 2018 at 9:03 AM ^
Women's hockey - showing the men the way --- great job ladies. Rooney in the nets was insane!
Add a team at Michigan.
February 22nd, 2018 at 9:10 AM ^
(Hey, look at where Rooney plays hockey! Good day here in Duluth).
I doubt Michigan will add women's hockey, but the idea that they could, and that a Michigan varsity team could actually play games up here that I could attend and cheer for, is enough to make me a full supporter of this idea.

Sparty could show their contrition for past misdeeds and a change in culture by dumping their men's basketball and football programs and replacing them with women's hockey! I, for one, would begin rooting (grudgingly) for the greenies on occasion. Of course, I don't have to worry about that happening. ;-)

Well aware SJK! I'm down in the Twin Cities and she's tough on the Gophers.

I've never understood the red communist flag or why the Queen of England is still on their money. Aside from the fact that they can't cut the cord, when she dies, they have to print all new money with Charles' face on it.
February 22nd, 2018 at 1:03 PM ^
Yeah - money never has dead people on it.
February 22nd, 2018 at 2:07 PM ^
Yeah, why do they choose to remain as England's bitch? That was so 1775.
February 22nd, 2018 at 2:52 PM ^
for those who choose a Canadian frame of reference.
I agree about Canadian money, put notable Canadians and Canadian landmarks on the money. Heck, put Vince Coleman's profile on the obverse and the Halifax Explosion memorial on the reverse. ( For those who have not read John U Bacon's _The Great Halifax Explosion_, Vince Coleman was the telegraph operator who sacrificed his own life to save an train from arriving at the scene of the fire which led to the explosion.)

I realize you're being tongue in cheek her, but you do realize that Elizabeth 2 holds a separate office known as the Queen of Canada, right?
February 22nd, 2018 at 5:06 PM ^
Because nobody would use currency with a dead queen/president on it!
February 22nd, 2018 at 9:03 AM ^
Amazing. Years of disappointment in the Olympics, but now Shuster and company are guaranteed a medal and gong to the final. It's gonna be nuts.
February 22nd, 2018 at 9:06 AM ^
will there be subs?
February 22nd, 2018 at 9:11 AM ^
and it will be crazy.
February 22nd, 2018 at 9:13 AM ^
which is even crazier (so bang me a couple times)! Go USA and go blue!
February 22nd, 2018 at 9:04 AM ^
USA making a very strong push in the medal race. Hopefully we can pass them there too.
February 22nd, 2018 at 9:06 AM ^
What a win for the USA, love that gold!!!
February 22nd, 2018 at 9:08 AM ^
a good winter olympics for USA
February 22nd, 2018 at 9:08 AM ^
That was an intense match! Glad we had the hammer in the 10th end.
February 22nd, 2018 at 4:32 PM ^
How tight Canada was...not making it over the hog line in Olympic play is nuts. USA put the pressure in and they choked.
February 22nd, 2018 at 9:08 AM ^
Time to channel our inner President Garrison
February 22nd, 2018 at 11:36 AM ^
That replay needs to be put (in slow motion) to Benny Hill music - or at least the whooping sounds that Curly makes from the Three Stooges (at regular playback speed).
February 22nd, 2018 at 9:11 AM ^
1-4 in Olympic finals I guess is something that’s celebrated now? This is the first time Canada has lost a game at the Olympics in 20 years and it was in a shoot out. Enjoy the win but this isn’t a rivalry. Canada has owned womens Olympic hockey since its inception and one loss doesn’t change that
February 22nd, 2018 at 9:14 AM ^
Salty
February 22nd, 2018 at 9:23 AM ^
Ran out of maple syrup, eh?
February 22nd, 2018 at 9:16 AM ^
Sour grape
February 22nd, 2018 at 9:28 AM ^
Take that!
February 22nd, 2018 at 9:39 AM ^
.... or a whiner or a weiner but we do like a winner!
February 22nd, 2018 at 9:16 AM ^
I thought Canadians were supposed to be nice?
February 22nd, 2018 at 5:20 PM ^
Put a Canadian in a car and they're as much of a bastard as anyone.
(At least here in the GTA.)
February 22nd, 2018 at 9:16 AM ^
Found the Canadian.
February 22nd, 2018 at 9:18 AM ^
can confirm
February 22nd, 2018 at 9:23 AM ^
Nobody likes a Canadian
