I love the closing ceremonies. I love the atomsphere - even watching it I can feel the happiness and joy. For once, race, color, nationality don't matter anymore - I think that's one great thing about the olympics. The world comes together in peace for 2 weeks.

What.....A........GAME!

Congrats, ye residents of North Canukistan.

It was a good day for the game of hockey. Canada did what is was supposed to do. The US set the stage for 2014. Here is to more US kids choosing to play hockey rather than football. LOL

One man said it was very hard to root against Canada. One woman said she wasn't rooting against either team because there are Hawks players on each team. I like that approach. First goal I was like, Goal -Toews! Yeaah! - oops, wait... They interviewed Sidney Crosby after the game and he looks like he's about 16. (I know he's older than that!) I could watch the entire game again. Wish I'd taped it! They showed it without commercials except during the intermissions.

I felt the same way. I cheered for every goal - my husband thought I was nuts! lol Yes Crosby looks like he hasn't hit puberty yet lol, his playoff beard is kind of sad looking

Exactly! Forget that football, get into hockey! That was one of my favorite parts of the playoffs the past two years, Pittsburgh is more of a football town and it was so great to see people get excited about hockey.

Curling.

That way no kid will complain about sweeping up their rooms.

If I had kids? They would be on the Olympic shooting teams.

I enjoyed the olympics!!! I liked the way they made a spoof of that one pillar that didn't come up by having a 'clown' fix it and light it. So funny!

THANKS CANADA!!!!

I thought the whole thing was great. I hope it is determined to be a success for Vancouver and Canada in terms of the finances, increased tourism, and money people spend on meals, transportation, admission passes, things like that.

I could see that entire hockey game again from start to finish. The Chicago sports reporters were all buzzing about "Blackhawks Bling" today, the gold and silver medals. Will they play better for the remainder of the NHL season, that I can't say. But it sure was fun to watch the national teams.

Here are our 3 Team Canada Blackhawks showing their gold medals
