USA vs. Canada: Golfers Tweet Olympic Hockey Action

United States vs. Canada. It wasn’t for all the marbles, but it was for a chance to win the Olympic men’s hockey gold medal on Sunday. Friday’s semifinal game was a rematch of the 2010 Olympic final, and both were won by Canada.

Golfers have been tweeting about the game since Wednesday, when the U.S. knocked off the Czech Republic and Canada took out Latvia. We tracked the big game Friday and the tweets of golfers watching the action.

Tomorrow’s men’s hockey game between USA and Canada should be awesome also. Hoping for some USA revenge from 4 years ago.

I thought it was painful to sit through a Women’s Open ceremony after finishing second. This Women’s Olympic Hockey ceremony is torture!

— Beth Daniel (@bethdanielBMFD) February 20, 2014

Agree! RT @ronsirak: Tough, tough loss for the USA to Canada but a great, great game. A huge win for women’s sports!!! #olympics
