One gold medal in hockey down, one more to go...

One gold medal in hockey down, one more to go... Congrats to all you Canucks! I would be surprised if you don't get a second gold this weekend. I enjoyed the U.S. victory over Canada the other night, but it was not hard to see that the results would probably be different if they played again.

The gals played another strong game last night to get the gold. I just hope that doesn't secure the removal of Lady's Hockey from the Olympics. I understand the "2 Horse Race" perspective but it would be a shame not to witness the other teams grow much more competitive, which they undoubtedly will.

I thoroughly enjoyed the women's final game last night. Outstanding talent all-around, but Canadian team was clearly superior, especially offensively, and without a doubt deserved the gold.
I am looking forward to the USA vs Finland this afternoon and suspect that it will be USA vs Canada for the final; THAT game should be the best hockey match the word has yet to see, and I would be happy all the same if the gold goes to us or to our brothers in the North.

I've heard the two horse race argument before, but I don't see it being that much different than any other event where the 30th or 20th ranked athlete has virtually no hope of winning either. You have to compete against a superior opponent in order to get better IMHO.

I understand the "2 Horse Race" perspective but it would be a shame not to witness the other teams grow much more competitive, which they undoubtedly will. I don't see why it would. Men's hockey took ~40 years before anyone could really challenge our teams in the early days, 1924 to 1960.
