[Ducksgo*]

Couldn't find a better place to put this besides here. Can't wait for the sledge hockey to start

Glad NBCSN and NBC will be covering the sport live. Canada? I'm sure TSN will be covering the short tourney as well.

Would love to see Canada win gold in hockey. Anyone know how strong a team they are?

The won bronze two years ago and gold last year. I didn't know gold was considered bad

Good luck to Team Canada in all events at the Paralympics.

 

[Dom]

I was at the sledge hockey semifinal between Germany and Canada in 2006 in Torino. One of my top live sports event for sure. I sat with the family of Paul Rosen, the goaltender who had a leg amputated a few years earlier.

 

[OttawaRoughRiderFan*]

Canada vs the U.S. in the Semis. Anyone know when the game starts?

 

[OttawaRoughRiderFan*]

The U.S. is up 3-0.

 

[Ducksgo*]

What's the score now? I can't find the live scoreboard

 

[OttawaRoughRiderFan*]

U.S. won 3-0.

 

[TonsofPuppies*]

U.S. won 3-0.

Seems they were easily the best team in the preliminary round. Totally crapped the bed in the medal round. Not surprising, they didn't do well in Vancouver either.

If I was in their situation, I would be sitting around and feeling sorry for myself. What they do is amazing. I am sure you feel the same way but they are all winners in my book.

 

[Helpoing]

Russia's hockey team and staff need to take a lesson or two from their paralympic squad.

 

[AmericanDream]

good win for the US

Not sure if you were trying to be deliberately funny, but I chuckled anyways.

Its not necessarily TSN that covers it, the Olympics in Canada have always been covered by CBC, they don't just show hockey they cover all the sports and festivities. For me it still feels like people ignore the Paralympics, like it plays second fiddle to the Olympics, I think they should do the Paralympics a month before the Olympics, I think a lot more people would watch it that way.

Wasn't meant to be funny. I was being sincere. I admire their courage. Perhaps I should have phrased it differently.

 

[Domenica]

Anyone watching the bronze medal game?

Bowden just scored the first goal.

 

[Domenica]

Bridges with the next two goals. The Norwegian goalie looks murderous.

 

[Domenica]

Congrats, Canada!

 

[FlaPanthers11]

Gold for the US!
