First gold medal in 50 years, but it happened in dramatic fashion. Any Europeans or Amercians accepted defeat with humbleness or with grudge? Please, I wanna know, but I don't want to hear any sarcastic stuff about people jumping from bridges after the victory, etc...

As an American I hated it, I was only in the fourth grade at the time, but I hated seeing "my" team get smoked 5-2 by the Canadians, America's biggest modern rival in international hockey in the Olympics immediately following 9/11. But nothing could be worse than how team USA did this year

I was pulling for USA especially since we won the last two times it was in USA each 20 years apart. Also with the patriotism after 9/11 etc ("Patriots" just won Super Bowl). If Canada was vs. anyone else but USA then I would have been happy and rooting for them. It's still amazing it took 50 years between golds though.
