I'm not a hockey fan, by any stretch of the definition. I know most of the rules. Maybe some strategy (like, try to get the puck in the goal). But what I saw of this game (a little of the second, most of the third), Canada was the better team. By far. When USA had the puck, Canada was all over the guy. When Canada had the puck, they were taking shots with no one within 10 feet. If they keep a stat for time of possession, Canada has that 2-1, I'd guess. Or, time of possession in the other team's side, that's also 2-1.

Whoever Team USA's goalie was (I'm sure I can look him up) - that dude deserves more than just a gold medal. Get him free chili dogs for life, or something.

Vonn says surgery saved her from amputation after Olympic crash

American skier Lindsey Vonn says she nearly lost her left leg following a frightening crash in the women's downhill at the Milan Cortina Olympics.

Interesting comment in here that the surgeon who helped save her leg was only there because she tore her ACL a few days prior.

Personally, I had shoulder surgery not so long ago. Not that I am a professional athlete by any stretch, by my surgeon used to be a doctor for the Ski and Snowboard teams. He did the repair while most others wanted to go the replacement route. I appreciate those athletes for abusing their bodies so my surgeon was able to get the necessary expertise to get me back to my activities!
