zettie85 106 Report post Posted January 4, 2011 I agree. They do look great, especially on D but they seem to have let up a bit and lost a step in transition. I think the States are just getting on more loose pucks now. They don't just get it in and watch Canada break out past them. The goal gave them a bit of boost. They don't look as dreadful as they did earlier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

10 Minute Misconduct 104 Report post Posted January 4, 2011 US has just been terrible while Canada hasn't looked much better, they are just executing better and capitalizing on their chances. HUH? What game did you watch. Canada probably played one of their better games against a top team in years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barrie 900 Report post Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) I didn't watch it, or really have a rooting interest. I hate picking sides between Canada and the USA. Each country is great in it's own way, and makes the other country better. Plus I have family and friends living in America. Anyway, I guess my Canadian friends and family will be happy, and the hosts on the FAN590 and people calling in tomorrow will be giddy. It's a good distraction to the Leafs losing 2-1 over the team they're helping to build into an eventual Stanley Cup Champion Edit: Wow, just saw some highlights of the Canada-USA game! How many USA fans were in the crowd? It looked like the game was in Southern Ontario and not Western New York. Edited January 4, 2011 by Barrie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cwinger 2 Report post Posted January 4, 2011 Consistently the worst winners at everything. No grace whatsoever, it is damn comical. The only things we CONSISTENTLY win at are curling and hockey so let me be the first Canadian to call BULLs***!! Who has more grace Canadian hockey players or US basketball players? Might as well. Seems to be the classy jab to make Can't wait til the Leafs come to the Joe haha I can't wait either. Hate the Leafs. and I didn't think class was necessary judging by the original comments. Sorry.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) Who has more grace Canadian hockey players or US basketball players? For another forum, slick. Let us find some videos on what ANY Canadian will do during any type of national victory or otherwise. Though the burning of Crosby's picture (Mr. Golden Goal himself) was hilarious, it doesn't need to be much more looked into than that one.

HankthaTank, this post is directed mainly towards you. Happy for ya lol. Allow me to be one of the first to say I watched most of the game and saw an elite team vs. a bunch of mini-mites. Just a horrible showing. Thanks for proving my points to a severe degree, though In fact +1... I love you canucks Edited January 4, 2011 by HankthaTank Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
under_par_00 45 Report post Posted January 4, 2011 Visentin came through with a very solid game in net, and Canada checked the USA right out of the game in the first 2 periods. Great performance from Canada! Anytime you Americans need to learn a thing or two about hockey, you know where to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am sure they have been amazing contributions to Detroit Red Wings lore. I usually just come on to check the latest gossip around the Wings and laugh at a few of the comments. I only comment when someone says something really arrogant or stupid. Tonight I saw both those and couldn't help myself. I'll sign off now so you can find someone from Sweden to offend. Red Wings lore??? I am sure you rank right up there with Gordie Howe and Sid Abel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
