Let me preface this by saying that I HATE hockey....
I caught the last 5 minutes of the first US/Canada matchup and decided to watch the entire game if they played again...so, I was flipping between this and the Lakers/Nuggets game (still couldn't watch the whole game). This was one he77 of a game. When Canada went up 2-0, I thought that the route was on, but the US battled back and tied it up in miraculous fashion. Watching overtime was just as exciting, though...in the end, the team that was supposed to win the gold did just that.
I am willing to bet that this will go down as the most watched hockey game in television history. Not only will it go down as the most watched game, but it will also go a long way to create a lot more hockey fans.
