Asinine Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Ok, maybe cause you guys have 'jobs' or whatever you don't have this excellent opportunity.But Canada is playing Russia in the quarter finals today. After sucking large in the round robin, barely beating the Checz(wow?)s.Intense fast, hard hitting, proud hockey!! And at the first intermission on CBC at least they showed the final in womans short track speed skating relay. It was INTENSE!!! 1 false start, korean broad got kicked with a speed skate by a canadian and another race re-start and a CRAZY final that could have gone so many ways!Wow.. go canada go, but i'm having a great olympic moment over here. Just up at my computer sending some hockey update SMSs.GO CANADA GO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachRat Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Korean speed-skating pwnage!On NBC they aired a special showing how South Korea pretty much dedicated everything to speed skating. They considered Apollo Anton-Ono a national rival. They sure showed him!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UberV70 Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 monkeyin' Canadians, it's sad to say, but they really didn't deserve to win this year.... oh wellNo they definitly didnt, thats what happens when the team is picked in August and you leave like 5 of the top scorers in the NHL off the team.

Asinine Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 No vodka beats Crown Royal, which used to be made within 200' of my house. Still says Waterloo, ON on the bottle!!Anyhow, none of our players wanted it enough. They take it like a right of being a top scorer in the NHL. That's crap!And they are so old and slow. Canadian hockey won't win on an international rink. The Europeans have too much finesse and we just dump and chase tiring ourselves out.We need a team, not a bunch of superstars!I wonder if Gretzky bet on Russia? haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlson Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 lol about Greztkybut Russia missing 5 good players and today Canadian hockey was winning for past 2-3 years and not problem. Canada just lost, they wasn't expecting that, u could see it on there faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asinine Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 They were playing to win, that's true, the russians were a better squad - faster, knew where each were on the ice, and wanted it more.I don't think it's that big of a suprise though. The games we've lost and the calibre of play was disappointing throughout.I heard that the russian team (pretty much the whole team) played together through the lockout season with international rules.I think it comes down to super stars vs. super team and the super team will always win. Our legendary players can't keep up.. we NEEDED crosby, that kid's passion could have help fill Mario's void a LOT!How much love for Canada can Sakic have after living in the US for the past 10, by comparison to the russian or other european countries where national pride is more important than money - unlike the US and our American-ized Canadians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lecavalier, Brad Richards and Dany Heatley played in Russian league in the same team. so no excuses about international rules, and we won and I can celebrate today :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
