Okay, that game was insane. INSANE. So sad, though, that the US didn't get the gold. Yes, silver is good, especially since almost nobody gave the team any kind of chance going into the Olympics.

UGH. and seriously. Out of all the players on Team Canada, it had to be that donkey-lipped pig-fucker to score the GWG? ugh. Like we needed something else the NHL can use to shove him down our throats. He does almost nothing the entire tournament and decides to show up then? BOO. FUCK YOU, CROSBY.

but congratulations to the rest of Team Canada (except for Brodeur because I still hate him. and Pronger. He can fuck off, too). Especially you, Toews. You're adorable and I still love your little glee!face.

and Team USA...oh, boys. You were amazing, especially you, Ryan Miller. Maybe now you'll get the recognition you deserve. Parise, that is the only time I will ever be happy you scored a goal, so I'm glad it was a good one. Drury and Cally? You did us all proud. All of you did (yes, even you, Ryan Malone, although I still make it my life's mission to get you to wear an undershirt). The hockey world mocked the roster, questioned it, said the team would go nowhere. So much for what they all know. You took Canada to OT in a gold medal game. You played your hearts out. You showed the world what you were made of. As far as I'm concerned, you guys are the winners tonight. <333

I'm also a winner because the AMAZING girl_wonder finished my fic! I'd won her in the help_haiti auction, and she wrote me THE BEST STORY EVER: Paid the Price (to live with myself), which is a WWII hockey rps AU. I just. guh. GUH. SO AMAZING. Even if you're not into hockeyfic, you should read it because it's so so good. Especially if you're into the WWII stuff, like I know some of you are. ::draws sparkly hearts around the story::

I just have to know you made me LAUGH so hard just now, I kind of snorted. Because yeah, I hate the same players you hate, and like most of the ones you like. My friend J and I loathe Crosby with a fiery passion (and Brodeur, UUGH. At least Team USA got him yanked from the starting position in the prelims, yay!). When he scored, we were on the phone and she said 'oh god, NOT FUCKING NOSTRIL BOY!' Because that's what we call him. It's not a pet name. (She has in the past declared him to have the largest nostrils in the Western Hemisphere. Um, did I mention we both loooooathe the Pens? Yes.)

Anyway, ultimately, I was really proud of Team USA for getting within a GOAL of the gold medal when they were totally discounted as a decent team. I may not be big fans of most of the players on Team USA individually, but I was still awfully proud of their effort.

NOW BACK TO THE NHL, PLEASE? YAY.

Team USA getting Brodeur demoted to backup was seriously the highlight of the Games for me. HIGHLIGHT. I re-watched every goal scored on him for days.

I think this, along with the gold the USA won in the World Juniors, has really shown the world how far we've come in hockey development. WATCH OUT, CANADA. WE'RE COMING FOR YOU IN SOCHI.

YES, Brodeur having to sit on the bench after that game was so satisfying, the whole tournament could have ended right then, and I'd have been ECSTATIC. GAH. He's such a punk loser.

I do think USA Hockey has really, really come along, and I think they are improving leaps and bounds. YAY!

p.s. You can ask for anything! Which sounds very dirty, now that I think about it. SO BE IT. ;)
