This is a tough call for me.
My heart says Canada all the way.
That said, the USA have played very well in this tourney winning every game (including the 5-3 defeat of the Canadians) and having the best goalie of the Tourney in Ryan Miller (Save% 93.57 and GAA of 1.04. This compared to Luongo and Brodeur (91.95% & 91.95% and 1.75GAA & 2.9GAA rerspectively). Equally, the Canadians have had the best offense of the two but have had some very below par performances against the Swiss, almost letting Slovakia equalise in the dying seconds of the semi and most notably the 5-3 loss to the USA. Canada saving their best for last, it has to be based on some of these performances. The USA are underdogs and have nothing to prove but the weight of expectancy on the Canadians is huge, with nothing less than gold expected. Home ice advantage for Canadians in my opinion is offset by the fact the USA would love to win the bragging rights in North American ice hockey.
USA in regulation time @ 3.7 is my bet but my heart will be with the Canadians all the way.
good luck all and enjoy the final

The lady talking sense now. Momentum with the USA, Canada mind will be all over the place.

Reckon Claire Balding would make a good ice hockey player

Is it 4v4 like traditional OT?
YES

YES
Cram and Pinsent have been pretty funny to be fair in a cringeworthy way.

I've traded my 3.3 average outright winner and greened on the regulation market today average 1.22 so wonderful green and outside chance of being paid out twice , would still like Canada to win though from a sporting point of view.
One of my better trading decisions of late , just created a lot more green as a result and a very small bias on Canada for fun.
good luck to all

i'm on the usa at 2.4... got stung by them last week -v- canada but momentum seems to be with them now...
Pretty sure equines aren't allowed to play though.
well, will Sarejevo still be the jinx or can Canada win on home soil
Yup, suddent death, IIWDI. So next goal in 20 minute OT wins. Otherwise penalties.
Really don't know who to back, might have to just watch the game for fun : o
In depth hockey analysis from Steve Cram & Matthew Pinsent - gotta love the BBC.
Penalties? They should keep playing like they do for the Stanley

Why can't Canada win?
Wonderful insight love, think we are all aware that they can, and are indeed favourites to do so.

Man, i was so drunk in the bar with my Flyers jersey on, I think Pens won it
i backed the USA the only way to compensate for possible loss of gold is by financial gain
finally job done well done Canada, Sidney you star, Cole Harbour boy your gonna be a hero when you get home
Crosby was legendary last season in his impact on the Pens

Yea, regular time match odds. I posted the bet
How did you lose? Canada the better team, all over them, and 1.8?
Great night Hayden - wish I was there to celebrate. Toronto will be a crazy night out tonight!
