The Canadian women looked faster, bigger and more crisp for the first 2 1/2 periods. After the US women tied it, it seemed to flip a switch because they put constant pressure on the Canadians for the next period and a half. Then the shootout with an incredibly acrobatic shot on the 6th attempt followed by a save by the US goalie to win it.

One of the most entertaining sporting events i've ever seen. 

I DVR'd it and just didn't listen to sports today so I could watch it tonight.  I know conventional wisdom for most guys is "meh, girls sports," but these are two teams that genuinely do not like each other, and it shows.  When it went to OT it had a very eerie, Bengal-like "Oh boy, here we go again" kind of feel to it, especially after that epic collapse four years ago.  This time, though, a better ending. 

Congrats to them for ending a 20 year drought.
