I remember the local ponds used to freeze every winter and attract people from all around for a free skate, but I cant remember the last time the ponds froze over, global warming is definitely happening.

Canada v Sweden in Gold Medal Ice Hockey Game. Pretty much every channel here has it live.

End of two periods, Canada 2-0 Sweden.

In Men's hockey Canada wins Gold 3-0, a complete domination outscoring opposition 17-3 in six games.

Congrats Tundra! I thought the winner of the US-Canada semi would go on to win the gold. US was deflated and not interested in the bronze game, but congrats to Finland, who have medaled in 5 of the last 6 olympics in hockey.

Was rooting for Sweden in the final, mostly because of all the Red Wings that play for them, but when their captain Zetterberg went out for the remainder of the Olympics (and most likely the regular season for NHL), I didn't think they'd have what it took. But still impressive to finish with a silver without your captain.

I'm not much of a nationalist when it comes to sports outside of soccer and hockey so it was disappointing to see the US fail to medal. But the nice thing about hockey for me is that most likely, a Red Wing will find success even if the US doesn't. Motor City legend Steve Yzerman has said

Ends today, I believe. I wonder if many will notice?

I will be pleased to see the return of the Saturday afternoon football programme on the BBC 'red button', which has had to take a back seat in the interim! :/

I have to be honest i haven't watched any of it, football will always take a preference to my sporting week.

At least i can watch eggheads again on Monday and not just see one in the mirror

Fair Play, Michigan, I have always had a soft spot in my heart for the NHL's Original Six. Many SW Ontario hockey supporters are big fans of the Red Wings and I always like to see them do well, unless they are playing my Habs!
