Awesome game. Shuster's bump and run in the 8th to steal 2 was a shot he never would've made in previous Olympics. And then the decision to force Canada to take a point (and potentially 2) in the 9th in order to get the hammer in the 10th was Shuster showing some seriously big stones (pun intended). And while straightforward, his winning throw at the end of the game was great redemption for a guy who's had some bad Olympic moments.

I got my kids to jazz band late because they were watching the match and I stayed home until the final throw to see the USA win. I actually have a photo of Shuster with my kids at the US championship back in 2014 (it was local to me that year). Great morning - the US knocks off the women in hockey (finally) and the US gets to the gold medal round in men's curling. Tough day for Canadians.

Men’s curling? You seriously watch that?!?

I could see watching women if a Scandinavian or Slavic country is playing. Otherwise, it’s basically the Pro Bowler’s Tour, no?

The women are certainly fun to watch (Eve Muirhead - just awesome), but in men's curling you see a lot more awesome shots and multiple takeouts.

More strategy than the bowlers tour, plus your beer is always cold.

Former Viking Player Jared Allen is pursuing Curling and trying to make the USA Olympic team in the future.

Maybe he’ll win something in that.

Gotta love a sport where the ball returns to you, there's AC in the equipment and you can eat nachos in between.

I had to watch bowling when my brother and I stayed at my grandmothers house. Either one of them. Jesu Cristo! Time stood still for an hour!

I feel blessed. We had to watch NHL Hockey Night in Canada at my grandparents. Gordie Howe, Bobby Hull, old time hockey.

So. Am I the only other guy who stayed up to see the finals of the "Womens" Figure Skating last night. I am absolutely sure, the reasons why, are complete opposite. I'm a dirty old man watching athletic asses.

That 15 year old Russian had a fantastic one. Also, the Canadian and Italian, both legal, were sexy as hell.

Not going to mention names, but I'm sure there was at least one other person watching the 15 year old.

No gold in women's hockey, still have to win to get even a bronze in men's hockey, and didn't medal at all in men's or women's curling. The past 48 hours have been some of the darkest in the history of Canadian sports. Poor Canucks. :nod:
