(coming from a canadian) i gotta hand it to yeah's, you played good. miller was insane! kept you in it for sure especially in the last couple minutes, all around good game though. props for pulling it out in the end
Why would I? You guys were FANTASTIC! Without USA, the game would have been boring... again. USA, and Canada are the best as far as I'm concerned! GREAT SHOW GUYS!
Miracle isn't just about the hockey game. it's about what was going on in the world at the time, and the fact that a bunch of rival college hockey players beat the best team in the world.
gether for 10 years straight. In Canada, hockey is a game of life. We feel better about ourselves if we win and shitty if we lose. No other country is so attached to a sport as Canada is with hockey. And with a record 14 gold medals in Vancouver, we're pretty damn great at other sports as well :)
@DoinThupidThings When it comes to hockey pools at work, I go for the point getters. When it comes to playoff hockey pools, I switch my strategy, and go for Canadian players as much as possible. Or other players, who play with the determination and grit like Canadians. They(we) ALWAYS step it up when it matters!
I'm from Canada and even I know that USA played a brilliant hockey game, you guys gave us a serious run for our money. Even after Parise tied it, and I felt so sick going into OT, I knew win or lose it was going to be a good game...Nowadays hockey is all about nationality it's no longer about respecting other teams and other players talent; I mean people look at you funny if you like a player on a different team WTF? the way most fans are thinking is literally destroying this great sport...
@lemonademoosejaw Wouldn't it be fun? Just to see? How many guys were cut from our national team, that would have made most any other national team? for instance.... curious....
Canadians and Americans both had great teams! I'm proud of our silver medal. We weren't even supposed to get a bronze medal. It was supposed to be about Russia and Canada in Vancouver. 2014, we'll have to see. 1980 makes me proud to be American! USA, USA!! Btw, what happened to Team Canada that year?
@beefcakes42 But, that shot DID go through! That's how hockey works! I think anyone with an eye and an arshole, knows that it could have went either way. Great game to BOTH teams, no doubt, but we DO absolutely LOVE hockey up here, probably more than all the other sports combined, THAT is why we "carry on" so much! Elation!
Why in the hell would we worry about losing that first game? Did we way that we are perfect? NOOO, but we are the best. It's the team that wins the LAST game, not the third game in the tournament. Congratulations Canada on your GOLD in Men's, your GOLD in Women's (3 cheers to usa for the silvers), and your 14 gold medals, the most ever won by a country. Canada, you beat the combined total of Russia and USA, and add their pop together and that is half a billion. Way to go, Canada--NUMBER ONE
@maggsterrrrr All our players were in the NHL! That's back when 75% of the NHLers were Canadian. Now we're only at 51%. Considering, Canadians are outnumbered 180:1 by the rest of the world, it's amazing , really, that we are winners in any world event!
I live in the States, but grew up in Sault Ste Marie. A dreary little town. You would probably like it there! Wahhhhhhh. Hoser!!! Ya must ba a frog!!!! Tete carre!!!!!
Canada isn't out yet. It will just be a tougher road now. This is the time they will have to dig deep and we will see how much they want it (just like every other contender). It's always the same 4-5 dominant teams in it at the end anyway.
Hockey is Canada's Sport and it always will be we Won 5 Gold in a row for IIHF and yes i wanted Canada to win but the US deserved it more they showed that they wanted it and played there hearts out. But For 2010 The Superpower Teams Defiantly are Canada, Russia,USA,Sweden and Finland. Canada has the best all around team and the US has a more Offensive team with a lot of Younger Players but I think the Finals will Be Canada-Russia or Russian-Sweden.
@thecolourblue100 I'm Canadian, and I don't think so. I was in Detroit cheering for the Predators, because one of their players played Junior in my hometown(Sault Greyhounds), but I was also cheering for Raflaski, et al on Detroit. (hockey pool) I was absolutely cheering for Steve Sullivan from Nashville, but at the same time, Detroit. Once I explained my situation to the season ticket holders next to me( I'm really a Toronto Maple Leaf's fan), they felt sorry, and wanted to party ! Al G
@beefcakes42 No, you're right, we aren't , really , that dominant, as we used to be, but we're still NOT TOO BAD! And actually, you're right, our pride was kind of on the line, but we PARTIED from coast to coast to coast(we have 3!) No suicides THAT night! We taught you guys too well, eh? haha! ( Miller, Parise,Kane, etc.) Great team, no doubt! THAT'S the fun of winning an epic game, GREAT competition!
@gungasc That's not very diplomatic, or mature. It's always nice to have rivals, but did you watch the players shake hands after the game? Hate on the ice, NOT after.
@sandman8185 Canada is tied for fourth with France in medal standings and the United States is comfortably in first! Now what does that tell you as an example.
beefcakes makes a good point, the US does not at all suck they put up one hell of a fight all game. i'm all for canada but the US sure as hell doesnt suck. hats off to ya's
@lemonademoosejaw I've said that all along!! There are 2 and 3 luge, bobsled, skiers etc., from the same country. Why not 3 Canadian hockey teams?? A tier 1, 2 and 3, and I bet they could all compete for Gold, Silver and Bronze. Possible, unless Ovechkin decides to show up.
what the hell does that matter. are close games not way more exciting? maybe you beat us last week in the prelim. round, but what happened in the most important game?? hmmm....
@ralphyization true what you say. And the only reason the USSR won all those golds for 50 years is because our best were in the NHL and couldn't partipate. Can you imagine of that '87 Canada Cup winning team had played togther for 10 years like the Soviets had? Holy shit, the series wouldn't have gone 3 games I can tell you that. And in '72 we WOULD have beaten them 8 straight if Henderson and Esposito and Cournyer and all those guys (Bobby Orr and Bobby Hull weren't even there) had played to-
@MrStupidmonkey55 If you're referring to our GOLD medal WINNING WOMEN, they, yes, there was one girl who was under drinking age in B.C., but in her home province of Quebec, the drinking age is 18! Did they deserve to celebrate? ABSOLUTELY! Does EVERY canadian men's beer league, or women's beer league have a beer (or 2) after the game? STANDARD!! They did that celebration2 hours after the game! I'm SO proud of them. THAT'S the WAY Canadians PARTY!
@ralphyization That is right, nothing but Gold does for Canada. You see countries like Russia and USA and Sweden and Finland bragging about their silver medals, but Canada won't even admit they got a silver medal. We love our GOLLDD
@beefcakes42 ooh alright awesome and you do have a valid point the us team was really good and definitly had canadians nervous but as a Canadian i have to add in again we were better :P but u.s did an awesome job on a silver medal
yea,i mean of course i wanted usa to win,and im not saying canada didnt deserve it,but im sick of people saying "yea usa sucks they lost" when we already beat canada once(gold medal aside), and had an extremely close game for the gold.
Why even talk about "without Miller". There is no without Miller--he's on the team. Why not rely on him? He's better than your guy who gave up 5 goals on half the number of shots.
It's just a qualifying game. Nobody has won anything yet. That said, I won't cheapen the effort put forth in the game by attributing the win to just luck. Winners usually make their own luck by being prepared, conditioned and putting themselves in position to win.
@beefcakes42 Well I guess another point would be if the US didnt get that goal in the last couple of seconds then Canada could also have "easily" won the game earlier instead of in overtime. You do have a valid point that Canada did not win with ease it took a ton of effort because US is an amazing team but the fact is Canada was better and we won olympic gold end of story
No one plays hockey in the U.S. except for a few states. It's growing, but only a handful of states play. Even NASCAR is more popular than hockey! Football, basketball, baseball, golf, NASCAR, hockey no joke!
yea u better take another look at the game,boy. cause the whole tournment and both prelim and gold game agaisnt eachother is a perfect example of how canada isnt so tough to the usa, we were undefeated,and so would u if u didnt lose to us, and gold medal aside, say what u want but u know u were gettin the piss scared outa u every minute of that game,cause the whole arena was quiet until crosby scored in OT. so let me re-phrase that...canada was far from "schooling" the usa. :D
Michigan beats Canada ! Way to go Rafalski Way to go Miller Way to go Thomas Way to go Johnson Way to go Kessler Hockeytown is proud of you all. Michigan has always been the first line of defense against the Canadians ! LOL USA ! USA !
@xSlapshot49x Old news. No pros involved. Different era. You're right though, we SHOULD always win the World Juniors! If you want history, how about Salt Lake? 5-2, Whatever happened to mutual respect? My son would get into fights on the ice (occasionally), and then, they're shaking hands after the game, and chums again. What happens on the ice, stays on the ice..
(coming from a canadian) i gotta hand it to yeah's, you played good. miller was insane! kept you in it for sure especially in the last couple minutes, all around good game though. props for pulling it out in the end
Why would I? You guys were FANTASTIC! Without USA, the game would have been boring... again. USA, and Canada are the best as far as I'm concerned! GREAT SHOW GUYS!
I love how humble Thomas is. He makes ne cry at the end:(
I really like this US team. I am so excited for Olympic hockey to begin.
4 Stanley Cup wins for Detroit since 1997 - not too shabby....
4 goals in 2 games for Rafalski ! Love to see that from a hometown guy!
Miracle isn't just about the hockey game. it's about what was going on in the world at the time, and the fact that a bunch of rival college hockey players beat the best team in the world.

Young team and good things to come.
Massachusetts boys inspiring Michigan boys.
Gotta luv it.
What a game! Miller was awsome
Team USA ROCKS!!!!! we are leading in the medals count too!!!!!!

Go USA GOLD!!!
USA USA, USA--keep it rolling!!!!!!
I'm from Canada and even I know that USA played a brilliant hockey game, you guys gave us a serious run for our money.

nice video!
Dude's a beast
USA: Your guys played AWESOME! It was a great game!
GO CANADA!!!!
@Konformation07 Thanks!

Gotta love Hockeytown! De-Troit.
@rosea1981 yes,thankyou
USA !!!!!
Canada- USA should be a great game!
@SighSnootles but see,all of their players are older,whereas many if usa's top talent is still very young.
B.C. Bud is awesome! :D
I live in the States, but grew up in Sault Ste Marie. A dreary little town. You would probably like it there! Wahhhhhhh. Hoser!!! Ya must ba a frog!!!! Tete carre!!!!!
What a game But i do have to say USA go very lucky to tie it up.
im sure you would know what gets watched "down here"
Canada isn't out yet. It will just be a tougher road now. This is the time they will have to dig deep and we will see how much they want it (just like every other contender). It's always the same 4-5 dominant teams in it at the end anyway.
Sorry Kes, we booed but now we're back to loving u!
Hockey is Canada's Sport and it always will be we Won 5 Gold in a row for IIHF and yes i wanted Canada to win but the US deserved it more they showed that they wanted it and played there hearts out.

@rosea1981 thankyou for not being a douch and saying we suck for no reason
well, I took time out of my life to say congrats
lmao
Nice ace with that luge track
@xXRazorbacksXx DOn't forget, USA won the gold in the U18, U17 and U20
Hey Why is it Just Baur now and Not NikeBAur anymore
@thecolourblue100 I'm Canadian, and I don't think so. I was in Detroit cheering for the Predators, because one of their players played Junior in my hometown(Sault Greyhounds), but I was also cheering for Raflaski, et al on Detroit. (hockey pool)

@Playmeforit ur forgetting the population difference between the states and canada...
even though US is in dire straight, we are still number 1!! GO USA!!
Basically we tied. We each only lost one. We just lost the bigger game. And the game we won wasnt even as close as the gold medal.
GO USA!
@avengemm9dog good point dude most people dont realize that
USA #1
Did the goalie score 5 goals?
@mcrjetsfan Sweden Canada? Try Slovakia
@beefcakes42 No, you're right, we aren't , really , that dominant, as we used to be, but we're still NOT TOO BAD! And actually, you're right, our pride was kind of on the line, but we PARTIED from coast to coast to coast(we have 3!) No suicides THAT night!
We taught you guys too well, eh? haha! ( Miller, Parise,Kane, etc.) Great team, no doubt! THAT'S the fun of winning an epic game, GREAT competition!
AMERICA!!!!!!
@gungasc That's not very diplomatic, or mature. It's always nice to have rivals, but did you watch the players shake hands after the game? Hate on the ice, NOT after.
@sandman8185
Canada is tied for fourth with France in medal standings and the United States is comfortably in first! Now what does that tell you as an example.
Pond hockey is the best
beefcakes makes a good point, the US does not at all suck they put up one hell of a fight all game. i'm all for canada but the US sure as hell doesnt suck. hats off to ya's
USA STOMPIN! THEM FINS
@lemonademoosejaw I've said that all along!! There are 2 and 3 luge, bobsled, skiers etc., from the same country. Why not 3 Canadian hockey teams?? A tier 1, 2 and 3, and I bet they could all compete for Gold, Silver and Bronze. Possible, unless Ovechkin decides to show up.
Ya frog! LOL
@joyfulvulture hahahahahaha thats priceless
what the hell does that matter. are close games not way more exciting? maybe you beat us last week in the prelim. round, but what happened in the most important game?? hmmm....
We'll see about that superdork.
Ok, but in the meantime, we'll take your men's 2010 olympic hockey gold just for fun.
Great game, could have gone either way,,
Nike/Bauer need to develop a mouthpiece that says in Kane's mouth.
@joyfulvulture got out played??? really??? u guys vs russia,or us vs finland was out played.
Team Canada Rules! Nuff said.
@avengemm9dog i was stating about the world juniors not the olympic please read fully next time
@ralphyization true what you say. And the only reason the USSR won all those golds for 50 years is because our best were in the NHL and couldn't partipate.

@MrStupidmonkey55 If you're referring to our GOLD medal WINNING WOMEN, they, yes, there was one girl who was under drinking age in B.C., but in her home province of Quebec, the drinking age is 18! Did they deserve to celebrate? ABSOLUTELY! Does EVERY canadian men's beer league, or women's beer league have a beer (or 2) after the game? STANDARD!!
They did that celebration2 hours after the game! I'm SO proud of them. THAT'S the WAY Canadians PARTY!
Canadian Gold Medal Champs! GREAT prediction. Woo HOO!!! The Americans never smiled on either team girls or mens.
@lemonademoosejaw Jerome Iginla would. (has heart). Luongo, not so sure....
And to also mention America has more then 10X times our population.
Tell me about it ya goof! You should visit sometime, but not in the winter.
KESLER!!
somones a little full of themself....actually a whole lot full of themself
our biggest problem is that we have too many good players. they could dress a canada A and canada B team and they would both contend
@HockeyHitman71 yeah hockey isn't Canada's sport. The US is great at it and USA beat Canada yesterday for the gold medal in the IIHF league!
@ralphyization That is right, nothing but Gold does for Canada. You see countries like Russia and USA and Sweden and Finland bragging about their silver medals, but Canada won't even admit they got a silver medal. We love our GOLLDD
@beefcakes42 ooh alright awesome and you do have a valid point the us team was really good and definitly had canadians nervous but as a Canadian i have to add in again we were better :P but u.s did an awesome job on a silver medal
yea,i mean of course i wanted usa to win,and im not saying canada didnt deserve it,but im sick of people saying "yea usa sucks they lost" when we already beat canada once(gold medal aside), and had an extremely close game for the gold.
I just think it's hilarious that the US's 5th most popular sport beat canada's first.
@DoinThupidThings Whooo- hoo! That's right! 10-1 population, 1-10 winning ratio....bummer for them.. Pride for us!
Why even talk about "without Miller". There is no without Miller--he's on the team. Why not rely on him? He's better than your guy who gave up 5 goals on half the number of shots.

We beat Canada at their own game.
Laugh out loud!
yea u better take another look at the game,boy. cause the whole tournment and both prelim and gold game agaisnt eachother is a perfect example of how canada isnt so tough to the usa, we were undefeated,and so would u if u didnt lose to us, and gold medal aside, say what u want but u know u were gettin the piss scared outa u every minute of that game,cause the whole arena was quiet until crosby scored in OT. so let me re-phrase that...canada was far from "schooling" the usa. :D
what? I guess you forgot about Russia and Canada
Michigan beats Canada !
Way to go Rafalski
Way to go Miller
Way to go Thomas
Way to go Johnson
Way to go Kessler
Hockeytown is proud of you all.
Michigan has always been the first line of defense against the Canadians !
LOL
USA ! USA !
Of course Canada should have won hockey is there past time it would be like Canada trying the U.S. in football, baseball, or basketball
@Eddie02468 What do you mean? We got the most golds out of any country! I believe ever!!! but USA is good at placing 2nd
@dunnyb41 and it happens vice versa.
@xSlapshot49x Old news. No pros involved. Different era.
You're right though, we SHOULD always win the World Juniors!
If you want history, how about Salt Lake? 5-2, Whatever happened to mutual respect? My son would get into fights on the ice (occasionally), and then, they're shaking hands after the game, and chums again. What happens on the ice, stays on the ice..
lacross is your game
if he was the team,who scored the goals?? oh wait thts cause usa had a good team this year.
and if your goalie played better then we wouldn't be having this conversation now would we :)
