This will live on forever in infamy. The fact is that it shouldn't have happened anyways, but if it had gone in, it wouldn't have been fair regardless of which team it happened to.
It's the semifinals.

Oh wow.
If they make the semifinals, who do they go up against next?

You have a point there. As a Canadian, I will be straight up... we didn't deserve that win. Too many sloppy plays. US was vastly outplaying us. Lets not forget the first goal that went off the USA players knee and in. We held it together. Our goaltender saved the game for us.
The calls at the end were bullshit. But they would have gone either way and you guys could have won off them too.

Finland or Sweden.
LOL. Game of inches or some insane hockey god messing with us?

This medal ceremony is rough.

So I'd actually rather take the power play over the penalty shot. Glad it went that way. It should have been a penalty shot but at 4 on 3 vs a one time penalty shot I actually think the odds would be more in favor of the power play.

The backup goalie was the only one smiling.

Holy Shit USA team, you could smile at least. Look at the Swiss. Jesus.
The linesman was responsible for that even happening. It's a great thing that didn't go in because it wouldn't have happened fairly.
Swiss team had time to absorb things (besides they won their last game to get the bronze). Go USA!

This is true. You gotta at least get side to side before you wipe them out or its an automatic call every time.
My theory on the no penalty shot call is that the ref grew up playing NHL '94 where it doesn't count as a breakaway until the puck carrier gets across the blue line all alone. My first thought on the replay was "wait it wasn't a breakaway yet, she didn't cross the blue line lol"

Bronze medalists are usually a lot happier than Silver medalists.
It should have been nothing. But yes you're right, a 4 on 3 powerplay especially.
We accept that. It's part of the game.
A dejected Kessel usually puts a smile on my face.
Silver medalists are usually the saltiest.
I've always had mixed feelings about having the medal ceremony immediately after the game.
Awesome for Canada, bitter for the US.

Well they go back to obscurity. If they had won maybe they would have gotten some fame and a little bit of fortune. At least the loser men go back to millions of dollars in their pro leagues.

So should everyone there. They got a silver medal, that's no easy feat.
duh. Right after a dramatic loss, it's basically wrapping a giant L around the silver medalist's neck.
Losing the gold medal game sucks man. The commentator was right it's better to win the bronze medal game than lose the gold. They'll appreciate it later but the feeling on the ice is all crap.
There's a huge gap in women's hockey though between the US/Canada and the other teams. Basically for either one of those two teams, not getting the gold is essentially losing.
