As hard as it was to watch Team Canada (men's hockey) blow a 2-0 lead and go into overtime against the U.S. today, in hindsight it made the accomplishment of winning the final gold of the 2010 Olympics just that much more dramatic. Setting a record for golds in a Winter Games (14) is pretty sweet icing on the cake, too.
I'm delighted that 3 golds and 1 silver went to our four teams for curling and hockey. It's a great Winter Olympics when we can take home that much excellent hardware in the two sports that kind of define us at that version of the O's.
Hard to imagine how players from the U.S. are going to get back into league games in just 48 hours, but since at least two of them are headed to Madison Square Garden (Drury and Callahan), they'd better figure out how to pull it off. At least they'll have silver medals as... uh, consolation?

You had an earlier post showing how poorly Canada was tracking against the predictions for medals...any update on that?
