They should change the coach's name to D-BAG.

I'd want to retire too if I got owned by Kopecky.

So they win one game, and get a Gold Medal for it. The U.S. team wins 0 games, and gets a Silver Medal for it. Interesting competition format. A better format would be to have these teams play a 7 game series, and let the other countries all stay home.

Holland, with Lilja and May's help, convinced him to waive his no-trade clause. We traded him for picks and freed up some much needed cap room on the offseason. Also, I actually put Flip on my second line, unlike some other people. That empty net goal convinced me of his shooting prowess.

When your NHL goalie gives up 6 goals like that, it's hard to blame any KHL players for it. Most of their players have played in the NHL and did so recently. With that said, maybe playing a whole season in Russia made them forget what it was like to play against more explosive competition. In any case, one of these top nations had to lose and the loser was going home with lots of questions. Imagine if Canada lost. People wouldn't know what the hell to do, since this roster was basically comprised of Canada's best players. No one can argue much about the players they picked. Someone had to go down.

How was Crosby humbled? I know he had a quiet game, but his team won. Much like in the SCF.

I just changed it. I swapped Ericsson and Lilja, figuring that Ericsson was once a forward and sucks on defense anyway.

Wait, we're already in the playoffs?

I love these threads. Here we go again. Franzen - Datsyuk - Bertuzzi Fillpulla - Zetterberg - Homstrom Cleary - Williams - Helm Ericsson - Newbury - May Lidstrom - Rafalski Kronwall - Lilja Tollefsen - Janik GMR, FTW.

Milbury once went into the stands during a game and beat a guy with a shoe. What do you expect from that f***? Like I said last night, they say worse things about Milbury on Long Island.

Lundqvist didn't look very upset after the loss the way he was smiling and joking around with Gaborik during the handshake. Shows you how seriously he took this game. He blew it for team Sweden considering how badly they outshot the other team. And whoever BAG is, he sucks.

I'm rooting for a Slovakia and Finland final. That'll do wonders for NBC's ratings. Go boring.

That was the worst shift I've ever seen Lidstrom play. First he pinched in at the wrong time creating an odd man rush, and then he failed to pick up Kopecky in front of the net when he got back. Unbelievably bad play from Lidstrom.

As I said last night, the Russian program doesn't do a good job of emphasizing defensive hockey. Russian centermen are generally good in their own zone, but Russian wingers are completely uncommitted to any defensive coverage. Also, it would have helped them to have Zubov and Markov playing on the team. Instead, their defense looked lost most of the game. With that said, don't forget they beat Canada in 2006, so it's not like they can't plain handle North American hockey. Canada had an even more physical team in 2006 as well.

I just can't believe you're posting things non-Bertuzzi related.

Can you please make your font bigger? My vision is bad.

You should hear the things they still say about Milbury in Long Island.

Put a sock in it Bertuzzifan. You'll probably lose your next game anyway.

I feel bad for Sergei Fedorov. This is the last time many of us will watch him play.

If Dan Boyle is Gordie Howe, then I am Bob Probert. That was a ***** move slewfooting a guy from behind after a clean hit. Since there's no fighting allowed in the Olympics, Boyle resorts to a ***** move instead of challenging the "bongo king".

Thank you Evgeni Nabokov for making this a boring game to watch. God I hope we play this f*** and his invisible team in the playoffs. Did Thornton or Heatley even play in this game?

Pronger, Iginla, Niedermayer, Perry. Canada has the dirtiest team by far on paper. Full of ******* spotpickers too.

Getzlaf hates everyone who has a head full of hair.

Boyle is the ******* weakling. Nothing wrong with that hit by Semin.

Boyle's little ***** got rocked, so he decided to cheapshot in return. What a little *****. Semin should have dropped the bongos on him.
