US come back from 5 points down to take set 2

US take the first set 25-23.  Almost gave it away.

US come back and take the second by the same score.  Some clutch serving late coupled with a few Polish net/centerline violations

Then they complete the sweep 25-20 in the third.  They were rolling - excellent serving, fantastic defense.  On to the semis.

Boomstick.   3-0 US victory.

Over/under on the gold medal match tv ratings versus stanley cup finals?

You are strangely obsessed with Stanley Cup tv ratings. 

Spoiler: no hockey fan cares

Not high on my event watch list

To me, it's not that good because everything just happens too damned fast.

I enjoy it, but I do agree.  Of course, that's part of why I don't follow hockey.  This is one of those sports like soccer that I'm interested in when the US is involved, but don't follow otherwise.

I have never met a hockey fan.  If I did, their opinions regarding other sports would be immediately discounted anyway.

But I am indeed interested to review the ratings.  I bet they are close.
