Haha sideshow..you're something else, man.

Yes, of course. However, the US didn't blow the lead in back-to-back gold medal games and lose. You see, I don't have a problem with Canada. I have a problem with Canadians having this sense of entitlement to the sport of Hockey. This shows in the arrogance of many Canadian fans, not all, but many. It may be a Canadian sport, but many other nations love it too and it gets pretty old seeing Canadians act like nobody else should be playing the game. Case in point, Canada was expected to win and they didn't.

The better team won and was awarded gold.

Makes me happy to see Canada lose, it's one more year without them gloating. Man, how did Russia win this!!!

Sounds encouraging to have two well regarded prospects at the WJC-- go JKROK (KNow what I'm sayin?)

So.....whats up?

Because this is the interwebz and there are arguements to be won dammit!

I actually don't think it was the shot that split the puck. I think it was the result of the dynamite going boom.

The ref probably would have just made some excuse to save face anyway and still called it no goal. Remember that on the Brad May goal, Toronto did call down and tell LaRue that it was most definitely a good goal, but LaRue argued about it and refused to reverse his call, because his massive ego would not let him admit he was wrong, even though Toronto, the people looking at the play from every angle, told him he was most definitely wrong on the phone. s***, even Mike Murphey did a pregame interview the next game basically apologizing and admitting LaRue was wrong. And that s*** NEVER happens! (yes, I'm still a bit bitter)

were any of these people 50 goal scorers in junior?

Never once stated anything against it. Come off it already, fella. You lost, so did we. You just happened to have a massive collapse in the 3rd of the most important game. You continuing this argument is once again proving more arrogance by the second.

This is completely ignorant, even if you are being sarcastic. How many great baseball players are not from America? Cabrera, Pujols, etc. How many great basketball players are not American? Nash, Nowitzki, etc. I think you get the picture. No one country owns any sport.

Herp derp I lost sight of the puck because it went in the goal, better not overrule my intent to blow because I lose sight, herp derp.

Heavy favorites of your sport, eh? How did that happen? Must be all that Canadian dominance you were talking about. Did you really just use California as an excuse for population versus hockey plays? California? Who said that? I believe I said it is a Canadian sport. It's not that you think you're the best at hockey, it's the sense of entitlement that you should win, when that clearly isn't the case. Sports are sports and the best team doesn't always win, that's why they play the games.

To quote Scotty Bowman, "The safest place on the ice is between the pipes when Kris Draper's on a breakaway"

They could pass for twins. The speed, the lack of finishing ability, leading the team in breakaways, and the work ethic and penalty killing prowess.

So this one time, I blast a shot from 3,000 feet out and it splits in two upon impact! So, can I buy you a drink? Better yet, you wanna buy me one?

Babs with a perfect one! Kronner has nice glasses.

Pulkkinen looked really smart out there. He's definitely not afraid to shoot the puck. Along with Jarnkrok he was the best part of the tourny for me (last night's loss to Russia being the worst).

Me too. Especially because the one red wing coach Mike Babcock has wanted a guy like that since he has been here and always talks about the worth of guys like that. So can you please explain why you think Miller is a better player then Prust, Konopka, or Thornton? You really seemed to duck that question in your post

Next year, the Swedes will be the ones to beat you.

wow what a blow up from Canada. Good to see them lose, and choke.

They were lazy. Played hard early on and then felt too comfortable to put up the same effort in the 3rd. They got what they deserved.

Man, Don Cherry is going to kill himself after all his talking.

I thought the beers thread was in the water cooler?
