What's hockey? It is a form of football on ice that they use sticks to beat each other with.
Wayne,
I don't even understand all of the rules, but I did watch the games and even though the U.S. lost, I thought both teams played well. And don't forget the U.S. team did beat Canada in an earlier round. But since Canada invented Hockey I guess it is fitting they should win.

tru, you have it backwards. Those "Red Wings" are just on loan, picking up lots of US$ before coming back to Canada. 
1715, You probably prefer watching girls high school basketball.   All joking aside, I have never been able to understand why hockey has never caught on in the US, except for the traditional markets.
Ron, they only beat each other with the sticks so that they can get on the evening news.  
Both the US and Canada had great teams and both deserved to win, but only one can.

NFL Football is the dominant sport in the U.S. Soccer has tried to break into the market, but they are having a tough time. I guess you watch what you were raised watching. Being born and raised in San Diego I did not watch any hockey, and soccer was for the kids that their parents would not let them play a violent sport like football.   |

1715, When I was younger, I played baseball, football, and hockey. I continued to play hockey until some of my tendons couldn't take it any more. I cannot straighten my right arm so I have permanent damage it there.
Quite honestly, I don't have the same interest in pro sports that I used to have. The whole free agency thing has turned me off combined with the owners, the players, and the management that now have virtually no respect for the fans. It has always been a business but now the sport has really taken a back seat to the money. Players have no allegiance to their team and vice versa but the fans are supposed to continue forking out the $$$.
