Gold medal favorites again? I certainly hope so... Get that pressure on them again and they'll crack.

I think playing Slovakia will give them a challenge. Or maybe not, who knows. I'm just happy we've made it this far!

Even though the Americans lost I can't be upset about their showing in the gold medal match. Parise's equalizing goal with 22.7 seconds left floored me, I nearly shat myself. And Crosby's gratuitous tip-in at the end solidifies his place among the golden hockey greats, definitely on par with Lemieux and Gretzky.

Solid, well-played finals.

I'll agree that he's on pace to become one of the greatest players of all time, but Crosby's showing in this tournament certaintly isn't a high note for him. Two straight single-elimination games without a point or noticible contribution and this is supposed to be the face of the league? Aside from his fortuitous goal to clinch gold, Sid played a very limited role in bringing glory to Canada, but people will always glorify his short-side wrister on Miller to excess.

I'm not talking about the tournament, the game-winning goal is an unbelievable capstone for anyone's career. For a big name like Crosby to accomplish that actually means something. Just look at Mike Eruzione, who is to this day pontificated by his achievement playing in the Lake Placid games, even though he was a mediocre player at best and didn't do shit after he won.

At 22, Crosby already has captainship, an Olympic gold medal and a Stanley Cup. Nobody else in the history of hockey has ever accomplished so much so quickly. So yeah, I'd say he'll be up there with the greats in a few years.
