I should be writing a paper, but I can't stop watching this game. Damn you hockey.

WE ARE THE COMEBACKS KIDS!... COMEBACK VETERANS, I mean... All we needed was that break. FILPPULA!!!!!!!!!

WOO HOO HOO HOO, f*** YEAH!

The game is fun to watch, mostly because it's such a scramble. Everything has looked so unorganized.

Ok, who do you guys want me to complain about next? Williams then Z... who's next?

Sigh...

I KNEW Williams was going to score after badmouthing him today. Commence ripping on J-Wils...

WAKE UP HANK! Man, it`s so rough to watch him struggle like this. The team NEEDS him to step up. He needs to be the force he has been in the past.

I dunno why, but this made me "lol" big time.

Oh Kenny, you so crazy. Makin' big moves to shut the fans up, tee hee.

It's not even that Jason Williams was "bad"... yes, he was injured. But there WERE better options out there that I wish Holland would have actively pursued. Paying Afinogenov 1.5 instead of his 800K couldn't have landed him here instead of in Atlanta? I just wish he'd be a bit more aggressive sometimes.

I've been a big believer in Holland for a long time, and I agree that right now there's not much he can do because of the current cap situation. BUT that's just it. I think a big mistake was spending 1.5 million on Jason Williams. Has he been terrible? No, but he hasn't been that great. Guys like Afinogenov and Prospal went for less than him and have produced more. Williams even said that no one else was calling him... so we got a guy who no one wanted, basically. Holland couldn't push for anything better?. Now I'll admit that maybe Afinogenov liked the Russian contingent in Atlanta, and maybe Prospal liked the idea of his fellow Czech player Gaborik. It seems to me that Holland has learned to "play it safe" to the point of mediocrity. This is finally a time where there's no excuse for Detroit not to shake things up, and yet we're not because he's got too close of ties to certain players. The Red Wings organization is a family, but I think Ken Holland forgets that it's also a business.

Now that the Americans lost, you have to take aim at something else, eh?

Agreed with being happy with a win, but this whole Olympic tournament just showed how close other countries are. This was by no means an easy win for Canada.

f*** YEAH!!! I will like Crosby for one day, and one day only!

The Pain Train commeth!

As much as I've hated on Crosby, and I really, really have... I'm beginning to just see him as a highly skilled player. I think a good portion of my dislike toward him stemmed from him being shoved down the hockey world's throats and his success against the Red Wings. I've never been one to dislike a team/player if Detroit does not play them often, so while he still irks me about Crosby and the Pens winning at Joe Louis, I'll root for him during the Olympics.

Like Brian Rafalski... with his shaved head, and right-handed shot. Who does he think he is!? I hate him, I hate him!

Wow, talk about babying a team. I'm pro-Sweden, but this is ridiculous.

HUGE goalie interference, lol. Sweden with another break.

Real stupid hit by Oduya... they got lucky there.

Just got to the GDT, but the whole 1st period was on TSN for any Canadians in here.

I get really mad if the team is slacking off... or during one of the many botched calls against us. And I get yelled at because it's "only a game". The way I see it, it's good to be passionate about something.

This is the big one for me. Go Sweden. Seriously...

No, I agree completely. Horton would bring elements this team needs. He fits the power forward mold to a T. I just wish you had sources, because I really would like to see this move happen, haha.
