1. You don’t have to wake up at 7 a.m. on Sunday to watch the gold-medal game.

Early-morning sporting wakeups always sound fun. Then it’s Saturday night, you look down at your phone and — boom — it’s suddenly 2 a.m. and you start doing the math in your head about how much sleep you’ll get before the alarm goes off. Now, you can hit that snooze on Sunday morning until your heart’s content.

2. There’s still another chance to watch Sidney Crosby in tears on the ice.

Just be sure to wake up by 9:15 a.m. on Sunday to make sure you see it. If not, that’s what YouTube is for.

3. Team USA still has medal hopes.

Whichever team loses the gold-medal game gets a silver, but ends its Olympics with a loss. On Saturday, the U.S. could end its Olympics with a bronze and a win. Call me crazy, but I’d take the latter. Plus, the bronze-medal game is at 10 a.m. on Saturday. That’s a perfect time to watch a game. Have a nice brunch, go for a little walk, watch some hockey — sounds like a lovely day.

4. This makes the ice dancing victory that much sweeter.

Sure, Crosby and the Canadians did it to us two Olympics in a row, but at least we got one back against our longtime national nemesis Scott Moir.

5. I mean, come on, it’s hockey.

Look, we all love hockey during the Olympics, but let’s keep things in perspective. It’s not like we lost in a major sport that’s long been engrained in our culture. This is like when the Americans lose in the World Cup. You want to win? Sure. You feel for the players? Absolutely. The diehards are devastated, and the rest of us will pour one out for you, friends. But, at the end of the day, it’s still just hockey. If Canada lost, the nation would have been thinking about it for the next four years. Most of us will get over this in the next four hours.
