Winter Olympics wrap

Well today's closing ceremony marks the end of the (greedy) IOC's Winter Games.  I watched a lot of this more because there wasn't much else on then because it was gripping.  The U.S did well a medal in luge, the gold in women's hockey and the first ever curling gold.  There were some stories in figure skating, Micaela Shiffern and Lindsey vonn.   I was really into the women's gold medal hockey game, which was shown live way to late on the U.S east coast, could they have played that game in the morning.  After a great game we beat Canada in a shoot out, this is not how you want to decide the gold medal, on a gimmick, play 5 on 5 until there's a winner, I under stand they do a shoot out in other international sops but i don't like it.
