HOOOOOOOOOOOCKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY

[Dan and Ali 3]

Do you guys remember when (I think it was FOX) that did that highlighting puck for viewers at home?

LMAO

I think most Canadians thought that was a joke......well, at least I did.

lol, I totally remember that! It was Fox for sure. When my fiance and I were at the Oilers game last week there was someone there sitting by us who was totally ripping on that! I guess there's a reason they stopped it

I'm not looking for entertainment, I just want a win for Canada!

Hear hear!

Prob get flamed for this,lol but womens hockey should NOT be in the Olympics! There just isn't enough quality teams! Its pretty much a 3 country tournament, Sweden, USA and Canada! makes more sense to have the women ski jumper competition than W. Hockey in the Olympics! Canada kicked butt on what team was it this week 18-0! And that team beat another team 87-0!! crazy! Just isnt enough skilled countries for womens hockey to be in the Olympics as of right now.

Canada Men played well last night, some real nifty passing took place.

That's kinda like saying they shouldn't have long distance running events (or insert other sport here) because the Kenyans (or insert another nationality here) always win. Though I admit 87-0 is really crazy. Maybe they need different entrance requirements.

Of course, I admit I'm biased towards women's sports, and I think there should be lots of women's sports events to encourage young girls to dream a dream for themselves.

PWNED

Until you have a gold medal... I wouldn't exactly call it pwnage.

The U.S. deserved to win that game. And I think that's the last time you'll ever see Brodeur play an international game of hockey. He stunk...plain and simple.

Canada's offense was great, but the energy and physicality of the U.S. team, and especially their goaltending won them the game. Well-deserved.

Part of me is glad though, because now we'll get to see what Luongo can do. As a Canuck fan, this pleases me!

Oh...and WHAT an empty net goal Kesler had, eh? One hand on the stick, face buried in the back of a Canadian player's jersey, but managed to score anyhow. Awesome goal.

+1 , especially the Brodeur part

[Flames9_RN 358]

Goaltending won that game!! Cya Brodeur, sit ur #### on the bench where it should have been in the 1st place!

Canada at times just seemed to take that extra second to shoot, wanted to make that perfect shot--of course when the other team has a great goalie, one tends to do that. USA deserved to win.

[Hugglebuggles 60]

Oh yeah, Brodeur sucked it up. I don't get why they continued to play him when there are two great goalies sitting on the bench waiting for an opportunity to show their stuff.

The goal tending was frustrating all around. I think Ryan Miller is a sub-human robot man.

[Sprailenes 47]

Miller is a brick wall. It just sucks.

Totally! My wife and I talked to each other during the intermissions, as she was over at a friend's place watching the game on their big screen, and after the first period I was saying, "Okay, they've GOT to pull Brodeur!" and she's like, "No! No no no...DON'T pull Brodeur! He's like our seventh man!" Then after the second period I was REALLY hoping they'd pull Brodeur...but nope!

Well, all I can say is that if they don't start Luongo in the next game, they deserve to lose to the Germans, let alone the Russians in the quarter-finals...

Canada has been disappointing me in these Olympics. It's amazing how many fourth or fifth place finishes we have.

[Flames9_RN 358]

in all fairness brodeur did not play that bad, he made some big stops. at least 3 of the goals were by deflection, and our D were a bit sloppy at times! Miller was huge.

I completely disagree.

The first two goals he let in were pretty horrible. The third one was marginal. The fourth was a good goal, plain and simple. I'll be nice and won't even blame him for the fifth!

Brodeur let in 4 goals on 22 shots. That's inexcusable in the NHL, let alone on the world stage in such a statement game.

Maybe we can blame him for the 5th, he probably just said "awe ** it I'm outta here, screw the last 20 seconds" and headed for the bench.

[Hugglebuggles 60]

Although I'm not going to let up on Brodeur, at all, I'll have to agree that there were a few times where I wondered what the heck our defense was up to. The offense was on, but the defense was just ok. You're not going to win Olympic gold when you're just playing ok.

1 Canadian living in a house with 4 other Americans isn't always easy! Today is one of those days!!
