Oh man, they tied it. Crazy. Nothing like the Olympics to make me briefly care intensely about the women's version of a sport I barely even watch.

The women are bringing it. A lot of talent on the ice. Not as physical as the guys and it makes for a faster more fluid game.

Your assessment is accurate. The chix can bring it. Fun to watch.

Does the name Hayley Wickenheiser bring anyone to mind?

An empty-netter bounces off the post followed by the Canadians tying it up. Wow. I'd say that was a shot to the nuts, but that doesn't seem appropriate.

Man, we have got to stop giving the Canadians these chances to feel like a real country.
