Classless....like the game where the Bruins went into the stands in the Montreal Forum and beat Canadiens fans with their own shoes?

Maybe they were booing Patrice Bergeron for stinking up the place.

Hockey has always been boarderline on class. The only place that I know the guy can get a cut lip or a bloody nose, they take a break and go back to playing.That is part of the fun of the game.

Yep, starting next season, if Brady gets a bloody nose, it's an automatic TD for the Pats, and the offending player becomes his personal assistant for the remainder of the season.

That's hardly unique. Soccer and rugby, the sports who's World Cup's are the 2nd and 3rd largest sporting events after the Olympics, both have blood bins. In the case of rugby there's far more minor damage like you're describing than any of the other so-called tough guy contact sports where the players hide behind padding (ie. hockey and american football).

In response to this, having spoken to several friends who were actually at GM Place for the Swiss v USA game the booing was directed at the ref's and all their missed and/or non calls towards the end of the game. Not at the US Team.

Congrats to the Canadian women's hockey team, and to NBC for their excellent coverage of the match.

MSNBC had it in its entirety, and just showed all 3 teams getting their individual medals.

Not all of us have MSNBC. I understand though. "America's Olympic Network" can hardly be expected to preempt Wheel of Fortune.

Sorry....but if NBC ain't gonna put the US-Canada men's game on in its entirety, you know they ain't putting the women's game on.

To be fair, that was a preliminary match. The lack of network coverage for the Canada-Russia quarterfinal match was a little less excusable.
But last night's vignette on sled dogs and tonight's on lumberjacks more than made up for any lack of sports coverage.

Show it in it's entirety, but show Jeopardy instead of commercial breaks.
WoF sucks.

Good for them, they deserved to celebrate....

Now hopefully the Canadian Men's team will be doing the same Sunday night

Hopefully that Canada and USA can have a rematch, but I don't think we should think that the Slovaks or the Fins are going to let that happen that easy....

Great Job Canada Women.

I remember that, and thought it was pretty cool at the time.

Canada definitely did itself proud!

Well, except for that William Shatner thing.

Just a thought but maybe to add some more excitment to the summer games the Olympic committee should vote to include in-line roller derby as a sport. It makes more since than some of the icecapades events.
