Trying to watch and "blog" at the same time has its limitations.

I missed the goal as I had to leave, but I did hear the noise on tv as I was leaving the room. Now Canada better get down to business if they don't want to lose this game.

Luongo is starting to look a bit tentative goal, and Ryan Miller seems to be shaking off whatever nervousness he had earlier in the game and is showing the form of the past games in these Olympics. The momentum has, I am sorry to say, shifted to Team USA. The second intermission could not have come at a better time.

Now the game goes to overtime!

(I lost my Internet connection for a long while.)

What a game! Ryan Miller definitely deserves the MVP award. But what a game. As Mike Millbury said as a commentator for NBC, "If you didn't like that third period then you just don't really like hockey."

And now back to watching my Bruins fail.

That game was really intense. The third period and overtime were nailbiters all the way. It was a gold medal game worthy of the name.

Yeah, I couldn't believe the US tied the game with less than 30 seconds left on the clock. Canada then commenced to outshoot the US in overtime.

I think Canada woke up during the break between the third period and overtime. Overtime was really good, fast, hard hockey. They played the way hockey should be played; skate, pass, and shoot. Crosby's goal was really nice. Miller didn't have much of a chance to stop the puck.
