Miracle isn't just about the hockey game. it's about what was going on in the world at the time, and the fact that a bunch of rival college hockey players beat the best team in the world.
(coming from a canadian) i gotta hand it to yeah's, you played good. miller was insane! kept you in it for sure especially in the last couple minutes, all around good game though. props for pulling it out in the end
Why would I? You guys were FANTASTIC! Without USA, the game would have been boring... again. USA, and Canada are the best as far as I'm concerned! GREAT SHOW GUYS!
gether for 10 years straight. In Canada, hockey is a game of life. We feel better about ourselves if we win and shitty if we lose. No other country is so attached to a sport as Canada is with hockey. And with a record 14 gold medals in Vancouver, we're pretty damn great at other sports as well :)
@DoinThupidThings When it comes to hockey pools at work, I go for the point getters. When it comes to playoff hockey pools, I switch my strategy, and go for Canadian players as much as possible. Or other players, who play with the determination and grit like Canadians. They(we) ALWAYS step it up when it matters!
I'm from Canada and even I know that USA played a brilliant hockey game, you guys gave us a serious run for our money. Even after Parise tied it, and I felt so sick going into OT, I knew win or lose it was going to be a good game...Nowadays hockey is all about nationality it's no longer about respecting other teams and other players talent; I mean people look at you funny if you like a player on a different team WTF? the way most fans are thinking is literally destroying this great sport...
@lemonademoosejaw Wouldn't it be fun? Just to see? How many guys were cut from our national team, that would have made most any other national team? for instance.... curious....
Canadians and Americans both had great teams! I'm proud of our silver medal. We weren't even supposed to get a bronze medal. It was supposed to be about Russia and Canada in Vancouver. 2014, we'll have to see. 1980 makes me proud to be American! USA, USA!! Btw, what happened to Team Canada that year?
Why in the hell would we worry about losing that first game? Did we way that we are perfect? NOOO, but we are the best. It's the team that wins the LAST game, not the third game in the tournament. Congratulations Canada on your GOLD in Men's, your GOLD in Women's (3 cheers to usa for the silvers), and your 14 gold medals, the most ever won by a country. Canada, you beat the combined total of Russia and USA, and add their pop together and that is half a billion. Way to go, Canada--NUMBER ONE
Canada isn't out yet. It will just be a tougher road now. This is the time they will have to dig deep and we will see how much they want it (just like every other contender). It's always the same 4-5 dominant teams in it at the end anyway.
@maggsterrrrr All our players were in the NHL! That's back when 75% of the NHLers were Canadian. Now we're only at 51%. Considering, Canadians are outnumbered 180:1 by the rest of the world, it's amazing , really, that we are winners in any world event!
@gungasc That's not very diplomatic, or mature. It's always nice to have rivals, but did you watch the players shake hands after the game? Hate on the ice, NOT after.
Hockey is Canada's Sport and it always will be we Won 5 Gold in a row for IIHF and yes i wanted Canada to win but the US deserved it more they showed that they wanted it and played there hearts out. But For 2010 The Superpower Teams Defiantly are Canada, Russia,USA,Sweden and Finland. Canada has the best all around team and the US has a more Offensive team with a lot of Younger Players but I think the Finals will Be Canada-Russia or Russian-Sweden.
Why even talk about "without Miller". There is no without Miller--he's on the team. Why not rely on him? He's better than your guy who gave up 5 goals on half the number of shots.
@beefcakes42 But, that shot DID go through! That's how hockey works! I think anyone with an eye and an arshole, knows that it could have went either way. Great game to BOTH teams, no doubt, but we DO absolutely LOVE hockey up here, probably more than all the other sports combined, THAT is why we "carry on" so much! Elation!
I live in the States, but grew up in Sault Ste Marie. A dreary little town. You would probably like it there! Wahhhhhhh. Hoser!!! Ya must ba a frog!!!! Tete carre!!!!!
@sandman8185 Canada is tied for fourth with France in medal standings and the United States is comfortably in first! Now what does that tell you as an example.
i like how canadians say usa sucks just cause they won the game for the gold, but see we beat u once, and had canada about to commit suicide in the overtime period...just goes to show that canada isnt so dominant in hockey anymore.
It's just a qualifying game. Nobody has won anything yet. That said, I won't cheapen the effort put forth in the game by attributing the win to just luck. Winners usually make their own luck by being prepared, conditioned and putting themselves in position to win.
beefcakes makes a good point, the US does not at all suck they put up one hell of a fight all game. i'm all for canada but the US sure as hell doesnt suck. hats off to ya's
I love how every single Canadian is downplaying the first loss to the USA now. Especially when the whole nation was in shock when it happened. Don't act like we aren't in your league. The record is 1-1, oh btw, USA beat Canada for gold in the World Juniors this year too. Don't hold your head too high. That's 2-1 USA.
@lemonademoosejaw I've said that all along!! There are 2 and 3 luge, bobsled, skiers etc., from the same country. Why not 3 Canadian hockey teams?? A tier 1, 2 and 3, and I bet they could all compete for Gold, Silver and Bronze. Possible, unless Ovechkin decides to show up.
@thecolourblue100 I'm Canadian, and I don't think so. I was in Detroit cheering for the Predators, because one of their players played Junior in my hometown(Sault Greyhounds), but I was also cheering for Raflaski, et al on Detroit. (hockey pool) I was absolutely cheering for Steve Sullivan from Nashville, but at the same time, Detroit. Once I explained my situation to the season ticket holders next to me( I'm really a Toronto Maple Leaf's fan), they felt sorry, and wanted to party ! Al G
yea,i mean of course i wanted usa to win,and im not saying canada didnt deserve it,but im sick of people saying "yea usa sucks they lost" when we already beat canada once(gold medal aside), and had an extremely close game for the gold.
No one plays hockey in the U.S. except for a few states. It's growing, but only a handful of states play. Even NASCAR is more popular than hockey! Football, basketball, baseball, golf, NASCAR, hockey no joke!
what the hell does that matter. are close games not way more exciting? maybe you beat us last week in the prelim. round, but what happened in the most important game?? hmmm....
@ralphyization true what you say. And the only reason the USSR won all those golds for 50 years is because our best were in the NHL and couldn't partipate. Can you imagine of that '87 Canada Cup winning team had played togther for 10 years like the Soviets had? Holy shit, the series wouldn't have gone 3 games I can tell you that. And in '72 we WOULD have beaten them 8 straight if Henderson and Esposito and Cournyer and all those guys (Bobby Orr and Bobby Hull weren't even there) had played to-
@MrStupidmonkey55 If you're referring to our GOLD medal WINNING WOMEN, they, yes, there was one girl who was under drinking age in B.C., but in her home province of Quebec, the drinking age is 18! Did they deserve to celebrate? ABSOLUTELY! Does EVERY canadian men's beer league, or women's beer league have a beer (or 2) after the game? STANDARD!! They did that celebration2 hours after the game! I'm SO proud of them. THAT'S the WAY Canadians PARTY!
@ralphyization That is right, nothing but Gold does for Canada. You see countries like Russia and USA and Sweden and Finland bragging about their silver medals, but Canada won't even admit they got a silver medal. We love our GOLLDD
@beefcakes42 No, you're right, we aren't , really , that dominant, as we used to be, but we're still NOT TOO BAD! And actually, you're right, our pride was kind of on the line, but we PARTIED from coast to coast to coast(we have 3!) No suicides THAT night! We taught you guys too well, eh? haha! ( Miller, Parise,Kane, etc.) Great team, no doubt! THAT'S the fun of winning an epic game, GREAT competition!
yea u better take another look at the game,boy. cause the whole tournment and both prelim and gold game agaisnt eachother is a perfect example of how canada isnt so tough to the usa, we were undefeated,and so would u if u didnt lose to us, and gold medal aside, say what u want but u know u were gettin the piss scared outa u every minute of that game,cause the whole arena was quiet until crosby scored in OT. so let me re-phrase that...canada was far from "schooling" the usa. :D
USA and Canada in the Sunday gold medal game and final score 4-2 United States. Sorry Canada, you won women's gold, but it's not your year for Men's gold! We're here to avenge Salt Lake City!
I love how humble Thomas is. He makes ne cry at the end:(
I really like this US team. I am so excited for Olympic hockey to begin.
Miracle isn't just about the hockey game. it's about what was going on in the world at the time, and the fact that a bunch of rival college hockey players beat the best team in the world.
Young team and good things to come.
4 Stanley Cup wins for Detroit since 1997 - not too shabby....
4 goals in 2 games for Rafalski ! Love to see that from a hometown guy!
(coming from a canadian) i gotta hand it to yeah's, you played good. miller was insane! kept you in it for sure especially in the last couple minutes, all around good game though. props for pulling it out in the end
Why would I? You guys were FANTASTIC! Without USA, the game would have been boring... again. USA, and Canada are the best as far as I'm concerned! GREAT SHOW GUYS!
What a game! Miller was awsome
gether for 10 years straight. In Canada, hockey is a game of life. We feel better about ourselves if we win and shitty if we lose. No other country is so attached to a sport as Canada is with hockey. And with a record 14 gold medals in Vancouver, we're pretty damn great at other sports as well :)
Massachusetts boys inspiring Michigan boys.
Gotta luv it.
Go USA GOLD!!!
Dude's a beast
@Konformation07 Thanks!
im sure you would know what gets watched "down here"
@rosea1981 yes,thankyou
@DoinThupidThings When it comes to hockey pools at work, I go for the point getters. When it comes to playoff hockey pools, I switch my strategy, and go for Canadian players as much as possible. Or other players, who play with the determination and grit like Canadians. They(we) ALWAYS step it up when it matters!
Team USA ROCKS!!!!! we are leading in the medals count too!!!!!!
I'm from Canada and even I know that USA played a brilliant hockey game, you guys gave us a serious run for our money. Even after Parise tied it, and I felt so sick going into OT, I knew win or lose it was going to be a good game...Nowadays hockey is all about nationality it's no longer about respecting other teams and other players talent; I mean people look at you funny if you like a player on a different team WTF? the way most fans are thinking is literally destroying this great sport...
@lemonademoosejaw Wouldn't it be fun? Just to see? How many guys were cut from our national team, that would have made most any other national team? for instance.... curious....
USA !!!!!
Did the goalie score 5 goals?
CANADA CANNOT BE BEATEN!!!!
Canadians and Americans both had great teams! I'm proud of our silver medal. We weren't even supposed to get a bronze medal.

@xXRazorbacksXx DOn't forget, USA won the gold in the U18, U17 and U20
Hey Why is it Just Baur now and Not NikeBAur anymore
Canada- USA should be a great game!
USA USA, USA--keep it rolling!!!!!!
@SighSnootles but see,all of their players are older,whereas many if usa's top talent is still very young.
Sorry Kes, we booed but now we're back to loving u!
We'll see about that superdork.
Canada isn't out yet. It will just be a tougher road now. This is the time they will have to dig deep and we will see how much they want it (just like every other contender). It's always the same 4-5 dominant teams in it at the end anyway.
@mcrjetsfan Sweden Canada? Try Slovakia
Basically we tied. We each only lost one. We just lost the bigger game. And the game we won wasnt even as close as the gold medal.
GO USA!
Gotta love Hockeytown! De-Troit.
What a game But i do have to say USA go very lucky to tie it up.
@Playmeforit ur forgetting the population difference between the states and canada...
@maggsterrrrr All our players were in the NHL! That's back when 75% of the NHLers were Canadian. Now we're only at 51%. Considering, Canadians are outnumbered 180:1 by the rest of the world, it's amazing , really, that we are winners in any world event!
Ok, but in the meantime, we'll take your men's 2010 olympic hockey gold just for fun.
@gungasc That's not very diplomatic, or mature. It's always nice to have rivals, but did you watch the players shake hands after the game? Hate on the ice, NOT after.
lacross is your game
Great game, could have gone either way,,
@rosea1981 thankyou for not being a douch and saying we suck for no reason
@lemonademoosejaw Jerome Iginla would. (has heart). Luongo, not so sure....
Hockey is Canada's Sport and it always will be we Won 5 Gold in a row for IIHF and yes i wanted Canada to win but the US deserved it more they showed that they wanted it and played there hearts out.

KESLER!!
our biggest problem is that we have too many good players. they could dress a canada A and canada B team and they would both contend
even though US is in dire straight, we are still number 1!! GO USA!!
USA: Your guys played AWESOME! It was a great game!
GO CANADA!!!!
I just think it's hilarious that the US's 5th most popular sport beat canada's first.
@avengemm9dog good point dude most people dont realize that
And to also mention America has more then 10X times our population.
well, I took time out of my life to say congrats
Why even talk about "without Miller". There is no without Miller--he's on the team. Why not rely on him? He's better than your guy who gave up 5 goals on half the number of shots.

Nike/Bauer need to develop a mouthpiece that says in Kane's mouth.

USA #1
@HockeyHitman71 yeah hockey isn't Canada's sport. The US is great at it and USA beat Canada yesterday for the gold medal in the IIHF league!

@joyfulvulture got out played??? really??? u guys vs russia,or us vs finland was out played.
yea,i mean of course i wanted usa to win,and im not saying canada didnt deserve it,but im sick of people saying "yea usa sucks they lost" when we already beat canada once(gold medal aside), and had an extremely close game for the gold.

Pond hockey is the best
Ya hosers better try the B Team. The A Team isn't getting it done.
somones a little full of themself....actually a whole lot full of themself
@ralphyization true what you say. And the only reason the USSR won all those golds for 50 years is because our best were in the NHL and couldn't partipate.

Nice ace with that luge track
@MrStupidmonkey55 If you're referring to our GOLD medal WINNING WOMEN, they, yes, there was one girl who was under drinking age in B.C., but in her home province of Quebec, the drinking age is 18! Did they deserve to celebrate? ABSOLUTELY! Does EVERY canadian men's beer league, or women's beer league have a beer (or 2) after the game? STANDARD!!
They did that celebration2 hours after the game! I'm SO proud of them. THAT'S the WAY Canadians PARTY!
@ralphyization That is right, nothing but Gold does for Canada. You see countries like Russia and USA and Sweden and Finland bragging about their silver medals, but Canada won't even admit they got a silver medal. We love our GOLLDD
no pretty much cause most people who say their canadian say america sucks at everything and hockey the most... hence the "eat their words" part...
Canadian Gold Medal Champs! GREAT prediction. Woo HOO!!! The Americans never smiled on either team girls or mens.
if he was the team,who scored the goals?? oh wait thts cause usa had a good team this year.
This vid makes me wish Thomas could get a game in goal but Millers just too good right now.
@dunnyb41 and it happens vice versa.
Do your best you Froggy Canucks!!!!
B.C. Bud is awesome! :D
Yup, just double checked score 5-3, usa. Pretty much end of discussion right there.
Team USA: The biggest chokers in the world.
Tell me about it ya goof! You should visit sometime, but not in the winter.
@beefcakes42 No, you're right, we aren't , really , that dominant, as we used to be, but we're still NOT TOO BAD! And actually, you're right, our pride was kind of on the line, but we PARTIED from coast to coast to coast(we have 3!) No suicides THAT night!
We taught you guys too well, eh? haha! ( Miller, Parise,Kane, etc.) Great team, no doubt! THAT'S the fun of winning an epic game, GREAT competition!
what? I guess you forgot about Russia and Canada
usa got lucky too when they scored near the end of the period
@Eddie02468 What do you mean? We got the most golds out of any country! I believe ever!!! but USA is good at placing 2nd
yea u better take another look at the game,boy. cause the whole tournment and both prelim and gold game agaisnt eachother is a perfect example of how canada isnt so tough to the usa, we were undefeated,and so would u if u didnt lose to us, and gold medal aside, say what u want but u know u were gettin the piss scared outa u every minute of that game,cause the whole arena was quiet until crosby scored in OT. so let me re-phrase that...canada was far from "schooling" the usa. :D

nice video!
I dont really remember any of you people contributing to the end result of this game
Of course Canada should have won hockey is there past time it would be like Canada trying the U.S. in football, baseball, or basketball
and if your goalie played better then we wouldn't be having this conversation now would we :)
USA STOMPIN! THEM FINS
@DoinThupidThings Whooo- hoo! That's right! 10-1 population, 1-10 winning ratio....bummer for them.. Pride for us!
