So those are the Norwegians in those insane outfits? Pretty original I must say.

Thats not the Norwegian Curling team no, that's the founders and designers of the pants (i think). They where at the game last night, with these matching jackets as well. Poor thing we didn't win the curling, though Canada was clearly the better team last night.

Price is really overrated, i don't watch the Canadiens much but when my Flyers played him in the Eastern Conference Semis a couple yrs ago, they lit him up. Has he fixed his glove problem yet?

Sigh. So close to crushing the hopes and dreams of an entire nation. Still a heck of a game and better than anyone expected from our young team at the start of the games. Congrats to canada. I believe that gives you the gold you needed to break the record for the winter olympics, too.

I jumped around waving my arms in the air like crazy for a good 5 minutes.

Congrats USA for the good opposition.

And yes that 14th gold medal is a record, and also the most gold medals won by any nation at the 2010 Olympics as well.

Overall a great success for Canada.

Hope springs eternal from glitches on the Olympics website:

Haha. I did that after we scored with 24 seconds left to tie it. Think I hurt my shoulder celebrating, actually.

So does this mean that Own the Podium was a success afterall? Given your size I'd have to say it was a good showing for you all. Record number of golds and third in the over all count.

I'm not among those who think only gold medals matter, but it's certainly interesting to see who has most golds and who has most medals overall.

I mentioned the 14 gold medals because one of the big things before the Olympics was the fact Canada had never won one on home soil despite hosting two editions of the games (Montréal 1976 in summer and Calgary 1988 in winter), so winning 14 in certainly a great achievement, and the fact 14 is the most golds any country has won certainly adds to the feeling of 'mission accomplished'.

I was kind of hoping that you guys would get 0 golds but eleventy billion silvers and bronzes just to keep the streak alive.

As far as I can remember Canadians are the champions of finishing events in 4th and 5th place, in both summer and winter Olympic games.
