Great sport,love watching the internationals,espec ially america , russia ,canada,,the punch up is great,but its shake hands and carrying on playing.that is the admiral thing about sportsmen,it all in the heat of the moment.

Dan Fitzgerald last night we saw the who most likely will win the Gold Metal. In view, Russia will win the Gold Metal if the team keep on playing the way it played last night. The quality, speed and intensity between Russia/Latvia was much higher than the game between Canada/Norway. This was plainly clear to even those of us who are not expert in Hockey. Last night, we also saw the subtext to the men’s hockey as a contest between NHL v KHL. Thus, Russia faced much formidable opponent than Canada. You left that fact out in your. Russia showed something awesome: lighting speed. Canada needs to prepare for facing Russia’s lighting speed if it has any hope of winning the Gold Metal at home.

True :)

A thrashing is something like 8-0 - like what the Canadian men's team just gave to the Norwegians.
