So, be sad all you want. Me? Imma crank it up! USA! USA! USA! USA!

(6,596 posts)And I take nothing away from the Canadians. I would have bet the mortgage the way they were playing that the Canadians were going to win. It was a great game regardless. And hey, we only win one of these every 20-46 years. I was 13 the last time it happened, so I will enjoy it. Not sure I will be here for the 2072 games

(6,596 posts)But I sure as hell won't feel bad the US won. Far from it given there's been just two gold wins in my 59 years.
