0-0 halfway through the first period. Live on NBCSN. I don't have to tell you who I'm rooting for...

All I wanted from this game is entertainment and then The Magic Man in the shootout.

I have gotten one of those two things, and I'm 10 stressful minutes away from the other...

Great game, sucks that Russia won. At least they'll be able to return home and not all be exiled.

Thanks Germany for the performance(s) of the tournament. Without them, it wouldn't have been nearly as good as it was.

What an absolute battle from the Germans. Huge amount of respect for Sturm and crew. Great gold medal game. And congrats to Pavs for finally getting a gold.

it's a very Vladimir Putin victory to win in such a farcical setup. 

It's not quite Putin "scoring" in that silly ass game he sets up every year, but it's close.

really controlled the overtime period. By the time the penalty was called, the Germans were spent and I didn't think they'd survive. Sadly, I was right.
