who is the goalie, lets settle it

kaney was great i could not have been more proud of him, he performed very well and was at the heart of all of our attacks. i have gained a lot of respect for him tbh i think he put usa on his back in the final, he controlled the puck so beautifully at times and his decision making was great. it reminds me of datsyuk last year when he was better. and his d was good people have said he was lazy before but he was the best player for usa on offense and even on d he was great. overall i respect him much more, before i thought he was agressive especially after the taxi incident but i think he has turned over a new leaf and is a top player

two post in a row from canadians breaking out the crybaby argument, terrible, the reality is 3/4 refs were canadian which is bad and if it was sweden vs finland and there were three swedish refs even the swedes would have said it was unfair the refs was bad it was too much physical play but it was going both ways which i guess makes it fair, but just because it was fair does not make it good. it was a different style of play from the rest of the tournament which was annoying i am glad we got the silver at least but i do not think it was good and i will be annoyed until we get revenge

crosby is only liked by some canadians and even some are against him iginla is the leader, also guys like rick nash too who can scrap and score, that is more canadian style hockey, physical but respectful and sacrifice. crosby does not fight his own battle and that is the difference even ovechkin fights when hes bored. the thing i remember most was the 2004 stanley cup final, iginla and lecavalier, the two leaders of their clubs and the skill players, were fighting for their clubs, that is a real leader who stands up for his team and has skill

come on he is a kid give him a break, why are you being so agressive you are turning into kane, maybe u switched brains

it was not always great there were good and bad moments, once there was a tripping call but the ref did not make the call until he heard the reaction of the crowd.. terrible also they should not have three canadian refs, in soccer they never have that the refs are always neutral. its bad they need neutral refs the game must grow

i do not like crosby and never will he is not a real hockey hero, the media is always trying to make him seem like a hero in canada but he will never be as good as gretzky or even ovechkin and he will never have the passion of iginla, who should be the captain i feel bad, iginla assisted on crosbys goal no one is talking about him but he is the legend.

the north american coach argument is bad, when russia was revolutionizing hockey years ago they did it with russian coaches.. just because a coach is born in a certain place does not make him good. also BAG was the swedish coach in 06 and he is from the elitserien i think the reason that usa and canada are in the final is because of the physicality for us and speed and for canada they are just technically very skilled

yayy nice goal

shyt effort sorry for the language but russia is trying to be too technical they dont have enough grit sadly

you can criticize usa however you want but we have not lost a game and we have come through, we showed great teamwork again against a very brave swiss team and a amazing goalie

sweden has better teamwork than russia or canada, usa has much better teamwork than all

my favourite is jim hughson i love his voice lolol and i will never forget him from the older nhl games he had such colourful commentary this is nice is doc american because he was very excited, it was one of the best empty netters

i love z but he always is circling around the net, he never takes on defenders because hes not confident, maybe he is uncomfortable being so important to the team. even when i watch sweden he still is glue to the boards, even my swedish friend says he is different than a few years ago. i noticed he had changed last year but i hoped he would be better this year. i will never give up henrik <3 backstrom i think is the future of hockey he will never have the goal instinct of crosby or ovechkin but he can read the game maybe better than both and he will become one of the best in the world, he is already the most underrated in the league i think and remember he was very good when capitals played us. maybe we can get backstrom if lidstrom retire??? backstrom last year of rookie contract, if capitals cannot afford him there will be a race

i think joe thornton is very bad and i have never liked him especially compared to other canadian players like the great iginla and lemieux and yzerman. he has never been clutch and he does not play intense hockey and he does not even use his body enough because he is always going 2 miles per decade overall i think his passing game is working in nhl because it is a slower pace but you can see in the olympics the speed is much higher i do not think joe can pass in olympics with his slow style, and his sharks line is also bad, not clutch in any way, except heatley can be good overall i think he is bad idk if anyone will agree but i have not trusted him. i would rather trust marco sturm with the game on the line or even maltby

thank you guys for agreeing and the support if i am comparing joe to another i think of jagr, a big body and he is not as fast as he was but he uses his body well, i do not think joe uses it either, maybe he wishes he was smaller. i dont think he is bad just not great and i do not think canada needs him to be honest. they have enough skill with crosby as the leader. i think the age gap is bad and it should be a very young team with many in the 20s and maybe iginla and 3 or 4 other old farts to help out but some are too old, pronger is old and mean and neidermayer is looking weird with the beard, i am not a fan of him, maybe i am still angry from the 2007 conference final but still i think he is overrated and agressive and i do not like looking at him with the beard, imagine if you are drew doughty and your linemate is 400 years old with a beard

i agree i think yzerman did not send the best team, they need players who are more grinders but with some skill like kesler, and there are too many old farts. also neidermayer as the captain cmon iginla is obviously the leader he is a legend when i first was playing hockey he was my favourite player and i still love him he plays with passion and he is a fighter but he is a respectful opponent, he is respected by his team mates most important. neidermayer is too old and they need to breed the canadian hockey team to work together in future tournaments, half of this team will be retired soon its not good also i am usa so this is my outside view of canada but i hope canada does good because i have lots of respect for them

usa won their group and canada will not get the bye, it will be finland or sweden probably

rafalski was great langenbrunner did not score, it should be a hat trick for rafalski he was amazing and i am very proud of him

this is a weak argument, everyone is proud so do not take that away also canada was very eager to win, the winner of the game got a bye so everyone was playing as hard as they could also canada and usa is always a important game no matter what and we have not beat canada in years so i am so proud and now we will have confidence to win in the future! also canada did not play bad, but i think we took our chances and miller was amazing

the biathlon was cool cmon, i want hockey but dont take anger out on a nice sport

he is playing in russia and he is still good, dammit datsyuk cmon shouldve won the faceoff

why would you get bobby ryan he is a crappy guy in real life, get stastny he is really friendly.

he should sign for very cheap especially after this year, if you ask him if he deserved 7 million dollars this year im sure he would say he didnt

hey whats up you guys do you guys ever wonder if maybe a small country that was never dominant in hockey could win a Olympic medal, I mean there was a time when great Britain was the best team in the world so maybe oneday a new team will rise. who do you guys think can be the next great hockey country, I think maybe Denmark or especiallybelarus could rise. if the infrastructure of Belarus was better I think they would be very good. and there are many more players from Denmark in the NHL now so they maybe are on the rise. also many people fear the Swiss now, they did not lose to USA by much and they have a respected league so the sky is maybe the limit
