Tonight your hockey team has the misfortune of having to play team Canada. You're goin DOWN!!!
What time are they showing the game on CBC? I forgot to check this morning, I need to know when to skip out on work early!
6pm, EST :)
erm PLEASE Beat those Swedes.... Reason? Aedail Says english women are ugly ........ :mad:
Hogre > all
Hmm, I heard someoen say that they were showing it at 5:30MDT in Edmonton... so it wouldn't be live, cause I know for a fact that the game is at 4:00pm mdt.
I think the person who told me 5:30 is on crack.
God I can't wait, and I hope the Swedes play that Torpedo strat they have been talking about, should make for an interesting game.
The time I read in a Toronto based paper today said 6pm
Yea, the game is at 4pm MDT, I know that. But a friend said that he heard it was being aired at 5:30 here. I was thinking that it was maybe possible, maybe they were going to delay it so everyone could see it. But now that I thought about it, there is no way they would delay the showing, it would ruin the game cause you would still hear from everyone what the real score was.
God, I CAN'T WAIT IT'S GOING TO BE SO GOOD.
Although I dunno if Canada can go for the gold or not, we shall see. It's in the air between Russia, Canada, and Dominic Hasek (yes, he can win the tournament on his own).
I just hope Cujo gets hot, cause good god, when he is on fire, he is incredible. You should have seen the ridiculous saves he made when the Oilers beat Dallas in the first round 4years ago, and also when we beat Colorado three years ago. Cujo won the series, simple as that. If he gets hot, Canada has a real shot at it.
I was disappointed that Patrick Roy decided to not play for the team :( Canada always has a shot at winning the gold. In the last olympics we missed the gold medal round by a shootout if I remember correctly.
With Patrick Roy you would be invincible =o
Too bad I don't have tickets <sniff>. Wonder what the scalpers want for them today.
<races off to check>
BTW, the US has won a gold medal in hockey more recently than Canada /grin.
What has it been? 50-60 years since Canada last won a gold in hockey?
rofl
Ownage...
You know why that is? All of Canada's best players have been playing in the NHL when the Olympics were happening, whereas with European teams, they got breaks to go play. The first Olympics to let guys leave their teams was Nagano. Prior to that, Canada's teams were comprised of wash-ups mostly.
European players only seriously began to play in the NHL in the early 90's really, prior to that they were either not allowed to leave their countries (Soviet-bloc countries), or they played in their own Pro-leagues in Eurpope, which like I said, gave their teams breaks to join the Olympics.
As for tonight, Canada got the shit beaten out of them in the 2nd period, bad. First and third we actually outplayed sweden, but four goals in a period is going to kill you no matter what. European players have an advantage in that they grew up playing on the Olympic ice surface, whereas North American players have to adjust to the extra 15 feet of width, as well as the non-calling of two line passes. Both are quite big adjustments to make.
Cujo played like garbage mostly, Salo played very well.
There was not a single Canadian forward who stood out very much, whereas Sundin, Dahlen, and Alfredson dominated.
Defense was a draw, there wasn't any blatant screw-ups, or incredible plays by either side's D (except for Brewer's goal, that was sweet).
Excellent game by the swedes, 100' passes tape-to-tape every play.

So who went down Tilea?
:D :D :D
OH! I forgot what the results where?!?!? Perhaps someone can remind me?
Was it 5-2 to Sweden, was it? was it?
Perhaps someone can enlighten me please!

Finland sucks. Russia going down tonight.
That is all...
OK, it all makes sense now. You were talking about the women's hockey team vs. Sweden. ;)
Am not really sure why they bother with the Tournament, it should just be USA vs. Canada in women's hockey. None of the other teams can even compete against them. In a few years maybe others will catch up, but right now it's just the two of them.
True. Everyone else in women's hockey is competing for the bronze.
The USA men looked sloppy today and still managed a tie vs. Russia. At this point, it apears that the men's tournament is still pretty much up in the air.
