Haven't seen another thread directly on topic.
A couple with oblique references.

Miracle on Ice happened in Lake Placid with some Wisconsin Badger Hockey players on Team USA.
One of those was Mark Johnson. Who is the current Coach for Wisconsin Badger's Hockey.
Currently there are 9 Wisconsin Badger Women's Hockey players competing in the Winter Olympics. 5 on one team, 4 on another. Team USA and Team Canada are expected to be opponents in the final game for Gold. All 9 players could be in the same final game.

I would expect Team Canada to be in the gold medal round for hockey.

Also Canada now has 10medals in its possession.

I think I heard that Canada has won Gold in every Olympic Women's Hockey since the category became Olympic, except the first year when USA took Gold.

I think you are right JSF. And my money is on Canada to do it again.

It seemed a little funny that 4 or 5 of the best Women's Hockey players in Canada wanted to play as Wisconsin Badgers - they dreamed of it as kids. And Miracle on Ice must have been 2 decades before they were born.
Almost sounds as if there is no place in Canada to play Hockey. At least not as much as Wisconsin. Maybe it's all that warm weather in Madison, a top national Party School.

Perhaps American women have better things to do than play silly games. Did you ever think of that Brenda?

Canada has picked up a 4th bronze medal which makes 11 medals in total. We are now just behind the USA.

Don't be a jerk JSF. Brenda knows it's a joke.

I hope you're good a math. There are 36 million Canadians that supply you with your team. There are 324 million Americans that supply us with our team.

Do the math and give Canada a handicap. It's only fair. Make sense?
