in an ideal world my fellow Canadians would stop putting 90% of their attention into hockey and try to get better funding for athletes in other things like events in the summer Olympics...
oh well...they will forget this in a month and be back on the Leafs' crappy balls again :/

I had to upgrade my FIOS plan to get MSNBC in HD, what the fuck? Couldn't it have at least been on USA? Why do they hate hockey so?
... and the Americans begin fapping as if they've already won the Gold (seriously, save some images for the Gold medal game, yeah? 
). I'm not one to hold grudges though, good game and your team played hard. A lot of disappointing play from our end and we'll have to do a hell of a lot better in the upcoming games.

This could work out in Canada's favor. One more game to gel. Should trounce Germany and go into the Russian game with a little confidence. Russians haven't looked all that dominant either.
At this point though we'll be lucky to get a 4th or 5th place finish.

Don't cry, you'll always have that epic shootout win against hockey powerhouse Switzerland.Botolf said:... and the Americans begin fapping as if they've already won the Gold (seriously, save some images for the Gold medal game, yeah?

Shit, I am pulling my credit card to go to a Stars game even though they are awful this season. :lol :lol
edit:
Can our ladies even win at this point? I thought they and the men were already out.

Russians were physically BEASTING out there today. Don't overlook them, or you'll end up with a few of your guys in the hospital.
If Canada had played 60 minutes like they played the last 15, they would have won tonight. That's where you've got to start changing.
What a game. As a Wings fan all I kept thinking is, "Why didn't Rafalski play like this last June against pittsburgh?"
Oh well.
I like what Team USA is doing with their hockey. Rather than a bunch of 'big names' (though they do have their fair share) they've built a real 'team' that plays really well together. They crash the net, they collapse on defense, they're active on the penalty kill, they dive in front of shots... tremendous job building the team, imo.
And what can you say about Miller that hasn't been said? I think I need to buy a Miller Team USA sweater :lol
Olympic hockey is awesome. I love it! And you guys know what else? In a little over two hours we get Sweden vs Finland. Awesome night of hockey.
One other thing-- I didn't mind the move to MSNBC. They didn't interrupt the game once for commercials. I know that they would have had to miss some of the game on the main network if they broadcast it there so they could air some commercials to pay the bills, so I'm cool with the move. Don't get me wrong... sure wish MSNBC came in hd for me

I doubt it, but I'd like to see the lineup change work out since I can't stand Debbie. lolThe_Inquisitor said:

Pretty much. I wouldn't even feel confident playing fucking Iraq right now. Germany ain't the Swiss but who knows with the way these games are going.dem said:

Being a Tampa Bay fan, Canada fucked up by not have Martin St. Louis on the team, Stamkos slap shot wouldn't of hurt on the PP as well...

Maybe for Canada they can finally get over their nervousness. they no longer have to be the "dominant Canadian hockey force." They just lost to the US for the first time in Olympics hockey in half a century.
With the monkey off their backs maybe they can come back hungry and with a team approach.
... but I hope not USA!
