That's it. I want that big Swedish ***** traded.
-
f*** Babcock at keeping 2 goal leads. Why do we always let these no-name jobbers score on us? These players for Colorado shouldn't be playing roller hockey. Bunch of untalented ******* hacks playing us so well.
-
For once you and I agree. He's the second coming of Uwe Krupp. Big europuss who takes up space and doesn't play a physical game.
-
Ericsson and Stuart back together? WTF?
-
Tell that to Al Montoya.
-
Maybe they can convert the Milwaukee Bucks to a hockey team. I mean when's the last time that team accomplished anything?
-
Their goes their chance of winning it all this year. Not very often do you hear of a goalie constantly being plagued with injuries. I remember Dan Blackburn a few years back or Hasek getting hurt towards the end of his career.
-
And I always heard hockey was going down in popularity in Canada because of the growing immigrant population, which is mostly from Asian countries that don't care about hockey?
-
Hard to market a sport that isn't on television. It would be like marketing the English Premiere League here in the USA. Actually, that's not a good example, because espn frequently shows soccer games from around Europe. Anyway, you get the point.

Am I the only one who thinks this had no effect at the end of the day? They beat Germany and Russia easily and Slovakia didn't have many shots on goal until the end. Luongo honestly didn't look that much better than Brodeur and probably didn't put up better numbers. USA just had better bounces against Brodeur and Miller played better in that game. I guess what I'm saying is that they would have won even with Brodeur, although I still think he's overrated.
-
He made one huge mistake on the Rafalski goal when he didn't clear the puck well. I also think Babcock did it as a message sender, but I'm just saying that this is a scenario where the goalie change probably didn't matter that much in the grand scheme of things. I doubt Brodeur would have lost the Gold Medal for them had he continued.
-
That's higher than I had expected. Unheard of for hockey in this country. I wish it was always like this for hockey.
-
That's a part of it, but I think they'd be motivated anyway after that loss to USA, whether Brodeur was pulled or not.

That is my least vulnerable spot. Sure, we're good again. So long as you can put aside your newfound love for Crosby, Pronger, Perry, Getzlaf, Iginla and Niedermayer. -
It's shameful how some posters will do anything just to increase their post count.
-
This may be the best thread anyone has started in a long time. Canada with 11 less medals and Germany with 7 less.
-
That's a good point. I won't watch any of those sports either. I sure hope hockey isn't as low on the totem pole as those sports, however.
-
Let's hope they still feel that way when they sober up.
-
I guess everyone sadly shares my sentiments on this. The announcers made it sound way bigger than what it really means. It may be a big deal in Canada, but here no one would care long term, even if America had won.

Time for Lebda to make his date with the wicker man. -
I thought you wanted him to play for the Wings as enforcer?
-
He looks like a donkey in those pictures.
-
Do Canadians even participate in the Summer Olympics? Didn't seem like it in Beijing.

Hey, I thought it was pretty funny. Here's the law school joke; I'd rather take another bar exam tomorrow than see Crosby score that goal today. -
I don't go on NBA threads, but I'm saying that I doubt he's as hated by fans and peers as Crosby is. Crosby is probably more hated in his sport than any other athlete is at theirs. He's like those bad guys in pro-wrestling that all the fans boo, heckle and throw things at.
