Canada/USA

I ... I don't even fucking KNOW how I am going to survive this. GAAAAAAAAH.

I think this is almost as bad (or as good, I guess) as when Ottawa was playing Buffalo in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Final. I was probably more nervous then, but only by a hare's breadth of a margin

So, huh, in OT is it sudden death or a full period??

[amidala_thrace]

Sudden death, so first team to score wins. If nobody scores at the end of twenty minutes, they go to a shootout.

And Liz bites her fingers completely off. Heh.

LOL, I can imagine. I had a "Congrats on the Gold, Liz!" comment all ready to hit post and then suddenly it was tied. I, of course, haven't a clue what I'm watching, but I can appreciate the intensity of play at least.

Don't bite off the fingers, your IU audience will be looking for their regular updates!!

Enjoy the OT...hopefully with fingers intact!

[amidala_thrace]

You've got it exactly right regarding the intensity, ACK! That was a crazy, crazy game, and if there's one thing I've learned from thirteen years as a hockey fan, it's to never, NEVER believe it's over until the final buzzer sounds. Not even when there's just twenty-four seconds left!

And no, I didn't end up biting off my fingers ... but it was a close thing! ;D

And Canada was OBVIOUSLY the better team! =D

WOOT WOOT WOOT!

[amidala_thrace]

Well, I wouldn't necessarily say that we were obviously better - the USA sure gave us a run for our money! - but we came out on top in the end, and that's what counts! :D

*GRINS*

Truuuuuee....though I'd still like to say it's true. =P

Highest gold medal count! WOOT!
