U.S. wins women's hockey gold in shootout

Well the odds were against us but hey. We had one hell of a run and given the youthfullness of the team I'd say we'll be able to return the gold back to where it belongs in Beijing.

It was quite a game to watch.

Nothing to be ashamed of. One point, after the sixth shootout round?

Only goes to show the ladies have done a great job making every other country improve to their level in the last 16 years.

Sweet! My compliments to the Canadian ladies on being such great sports!

The Canadian team is prettier.

The Canadian team isn't a bunch of lesbians.

Great game. As an armchair coach I thought there was too much focus on short shifts by Canada's coach, and we ended up giving up that second goal on a shift change.

Shootout is always a toss-up. Loved those Lamoureux twins.

What a crock of shit!!! You will NEVER see the Stanley Cup final decided by a shoot out, so why should a Gold medal game have to end with one! As far as I'm concerned, let them play until the game winning goal is scored, I think it should be 5 on 5 but if they want to hurry it up, let them drop a player or two, anything is better than leaving it to the shoot out!
