Subject: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: olddude Date: 19 Feb 10 - 03:10 PM this is going to be an outstanding game I think. Don't tell anybody but this Yankee thinks it will be Canada on top ... Man they have a strong team should be really fun to watch |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Rapparee Date: 19 Feb 10 - 03:26 PM Go Cubs!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 19 Feb 10 - 03:41 PM I am so pissed off, along with a LOT of other Canucks... down here anyway. Ya can't find out what is on TV when. It's piss poor. I suppose the networks want you tune in to see what is on and stay tuned in hope that you can see what you want to watch. Guess I'll search the net to see if there is any "sched". |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 19 Feb 10 - 03:44 PM Event sched. When does youse play us, Dan? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: olddude Date: 19 Feb 10 - 03:50 PM Sunday night bro |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 19 Feb 10 - 03:55 PM Thanks. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: GUEST,David E. Date: 19 Feb 10 - 04:55 PM I just found out today that these hockey games are live on cable. (duh!) Thanks for the head's up! David E. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: GUEST,999 Date: 19 Feb 10 - 06:01 PM Some of the gals played in Jasper, Alberta, recently. Their passing is incredible. I wish the Oilers did it half as well. Dan, do you know the final score against Sweden? I saw only the first two periods. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 19 Feb 10 - 06:19 PM 13 - 1 |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: GUEST,999 Date: 19 Feb 10 - 08:38 PM Thanks, Gnu. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 19 Feb 10 - 08:41 PM BTW... no Canuck team would "run it up" like that in regular competition but goals f/a matter in this competition. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Beer Date: 19 Feb 10 - 11:20 PM I'm so sure Canada will be there for the Gold. Don't get me wrong. I sure am hoping but their are just so many great other teams. Russia has an unbelievable group of players as well as a few other teams. Russia are trying to jell as a unit just like Canada. I'm not betting on anyone at this point. Beer(adrien) |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: 3refs Date: 20 Feb 10 - 01:52 AM One of the "Oaths" they take at the Olympics, says they will try their best at all times, be fair and honest(or something like that)! Run up the score "MY ASS"! You start taking things "easy" in a hockey game, and one of two things happens; You get hurt, or somebody else does! Making a move on a team mate in practise is one thing. Trying it against an opponent, do what is unatural in the game, take it easy "one time" and there you are, watching from the stands, with your knee in a cast! I know a little about this one! You may win in other sports, but in "Hockey" you beat them!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: 3refs Date: 20 Feb 10 - 01:55 AM And another beer!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Beer Date: 20 Feb 10 - 08:50 AM Meant to say "I'm NOT so sure" in the above post. Ad. How you feeling this morning ref. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: 3refs Date: 20 Feb 10 - 10:43 AM Can anyone tell me what happened last night(early this am)? |
|

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: 3refs Date: 20 Feb 10 - 06:03 PM First boggle was a Laker, as God as my witness! Next several were Canadian Draft! OUCH!!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Rapparee Date: 20 Feb 10 - 11:33 PM I'm drinking Diet Pepsi! Go Cubs! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: 3refs Date: 21 Feb 10 - 06:34 PM Tonight's men's hockey game is a tease! I hope it just the first 3 of 6 periods for the Gold! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 21 Feb 10 - 07:17 PM The game starts in a little over twenty minutes... I wonder if it will be on Canuck TV? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Beer Date: 21 Feb 10 - 07:26 PM Yes Gnu, it is on CTV. Ad. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Dave MacKenzie Date: 21 Feb 10 - 07:32 PM Doesn't look like the Beeb will oblige. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 21 Feb 10 - 08:07 PM Holy Moly. These guys are not messin around! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 21 Feb 10 - 08:25 PM FAST hockey! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: 3refs Date: 21 Feb 10 - 10:37 PM I said somewhere, and some time ago, that there's one person who can steal a game, and that's the goalie. Right now, the U.S. has the best one! Great game tonight! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Beer Date: 21 Feb 10 - 10:43 PM Congratulations to the United States of America for a well played game. But were not dead yet. Ad. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: olddude Date: 21 Feb 10 - 10:54 PM great game, miller is our buffalo goalie. he is incredible |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Alice Date: 21 Feb 10 - 10:59 PM That was quite exciting to watch. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: catspaw49 Date: 21 Feb 10 - 11:12 PM And now if either of our Curling teams could do something besides make bad decisions and execute poorly................I have the nasty feeling we won't make the cut. Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Lonesome EJ Date: 22 Feb 10 - 01:14 AM Go Team USA!! Spaw, are you seriously getting worked up over the curling competition?! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Seamus Kennedy Date: 22 Feb 10 - 02:50 AM Great game indeed, Olddude, and you're right, Miller was brilliant! Is another Miracle on Ice in the offing....? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Jeri Date: 22 Feb 10 - 06:35 AM I'm sorry, Canada. Miller was brilliant. I only watched part of it as I had to get to sleep and the game was making me dizzy. Nobody can say Canada lost that game, they just didn't win. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 22 Feb 10 - 06:55 AM What a great game. Well done USA. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: GUEST,Hockey Fan Date: 22 Feb 10 - 09:23 AM Got my first ever HD TV on Friday night...46" screen and it was like I was watching a totally different sport...whoa!!! Very enjoyable game...now I am wondering why it took me so long to get an HD tv... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Dave MacKenzie Date: 22 Feb 10 - 10:50 AM Beeb eventually got round to showing it after 15 minutes. Great game. Has anybody got stats on how effective pulling your goalie is? It always strikes me as a bit of a desperation throw, and you concede more than you gain. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: SINSULL Date: 22 Feb 10 - 11:08 AM They stopped serving beer in Vancouver. Is that how you Canadians declare an official day of mourning, gnu? I am not a hockey fan and am sad that Canada didn't win it for the home crowd. SINS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: 3refs Date: 23 Feb 10 - 06:54 AM I'm not answering for gnu, he can do that on his own! So this is my perspective! We just lost one game, and now have to take the long road! Been there, done that! Germany will make a game of it, but it's the Russians that give me more of scare. During an official day of mourning, we switch to Crown Royal and chase it with imported beer! Usually the kind we gargle with! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Dave MacKenzie Date: 23 Feb 10 - 10:13 AM Cheeseheads in the crowd for US Ladies v Sweden! Don't suppose ther's much happening at Lambeau Field this time of year. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Charmion Date: 23 Feb 10 - 03:15 PM Have anyone broken serve yet? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 23 Feb 10 - 03:55 PM SINS... They what??!! "...official day of morning..." maybe? Fact is, those Lotus Land Dope Smoking Yuppies on the Left Coast wouldn't get away with that Down Home (Atlantic Canada, the RIGHT Coast). Of course, Down Homegrown ain't as good as that Senseless-a-Million they grow out there. Well, that's what THEY say... I quit the shit a long time ago so I dunno. Oh... yeah... Down Home... I dare say there would be hell to pay if they took away the beer here. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 23 Feb 10 - 03:59 PM Dave... "Has anybody got stats on how effective pulling your goalie is?" Yup... more effective than not. (I am NOT being trite. I am being truthful... and brief.) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Dave MacKenzie Date: 23 Feb 10 - 04:18 PM Thanks, gnu. As I've said (complained) before, they don't like showing hockey in the UK. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 23 Feb 10 - 05:20 PM Dave... yw. Fact is, it is EXACTLY what you said... the last resort. Now, sometimes, you have luck and sometimes you have players that you are betting on. Case in point, Jean Belliveau, numero cat pour Les Canadiennes. I wrote that correctly... cat... as in, dat guy put dat puck in dat net from da faceoff quick as a cat la! Seriously. More than once. And, having an extra forward when Jean took the faceoff meant a chance for a rebound. Now, if you have a faceoff guy that is good at getting the puck back to the blueline and you have a sharp shooter or two back there, the extra forward can try to screen or even take the puck in the pads for a rebound if... Sorry... I get carried away sometimes. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Dave MacKenzie Date: 24 Feb 10 - 07:50 AM Saw last night's highlights. Canada looked good against Germany. None of your "we got dragged down to the level of the opposition". |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: EBarnacle Date: 24 Feb 10 - 11:31 AM Was anyone watching the terrific comback the Latvians made against the Czechs? They lost it in overtime but wow! what a battle. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Dave MacKenzie Date: 24 Feb 10 - 12:00 PM They just showed the OT goal here. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Beer Date: 24 Feb 10 - 12:32 PM Canada Russia tonight. Now here should be one hell of a great game. Star studded match up for sure. Ad. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 24 Feb 10 - 12:59 PM Yanks and Swiss before that Beer... 12PM PST. And that will have to do for me... I gotta be on deck early so I can't even begin to watch Canada beat the Russians or I'll be toast when I get up. But I'll be watching them on Sunday fer sure... >;-) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Dave MacKenzie Date: 24 Feb 10 - 03:25 PM Sunday must be a first. A major North American sporting event on at a sensible time in Europe. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 24 Feb 10 - 03:39 PM Wow. USA vs SUI is a REAL hockey game! Great stuff! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 24 Feb 10 - 05:15 PM What a game. USA is through to the final four. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Dave MacKenzie Date: 25 Feb 10 - 12:23 PM Hey it's our game - we just let you borrow it in North America. First recorded game on ice was in 1607 on the Forth (in Scotland). |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: catspaw49 Date: 25 Feb 10 - 12:26 PM Really a shame that y'all didn't perfect it Dave........(;<)) Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Dave MacKenzie Date: 25 Feb 10 - 01:07 PM We did, and it's called Shinty. Of course, what the victims of the Clearances did with it's another matter. Then again, at least you didn't do what Teddington Cricket Club did and come up the least watchable stick game ever invented. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 25 Feb 10 - 02:19 PM Soooo.... I didn't get to watch the game on tape becasue some ***** sent me an email "They really put it to the Russians eh!!!!" Then, in the waiting room at the doc's office, three old guys (older) were discussing every play. So... was it really as rough as has been reported? I heard a Russian was quoted as saying sommat like the Canucks came out like a herd of gorillas. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 25 Feb 10 - 04:24 PM Just over two hours... gold medal game. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: GUEST,999 Date: 25 Feb 10 - 08:37 PM The Canuck gals just won it. YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Beer Date: 25 Feb 10 - 09:05 PM The Gals from the States played a great game as well. No reason to hang their heads. Ad. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 25 Feb 10 - 09:15 PM Ahhhhh can we all post to ONE thread? I am easily confuzzled. Maybe just the Limpics thread? Please? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Beer Date: 25 Feb 10 - 09:30 PM Ya! when its hockey post here. I got ya. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: GUEST,999 Date: 25 Feb 10 - 09:49 PM That was in reference to me. I screwed up and posted to the wrong thread. Sorry, guys. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 25 Feb 10 - 10:02 PM No, Beer... I meant all posts to the Limpics thread so I don't hafta read two threads. I am a very busy man, as you well know. Hahahahahaaaheheheheee. Almost as busy as you and thatthere numeric fellah. (yesIdidmeantorunthemtogether) Draft, thanks. I sleep alone. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Beer Date: 25 Feb 10 - 10:04 PM I thought it was in reference to me. Gnu should be in bed by now anyway. What the hell you doing up. I thought you said that it was early to rise for ya? Great great game eh!! ad. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 25 Feb 10 - 10:23 PM Yup. Still too pumped up to go to |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Alice Date: 25 Feb 10 - 10:28 PM Canadian women's team, congratulations! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Beer Date: 25 Feb 10 - 10:42 PM Good for you buddy. Now have a wee one and off you go........ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: GUEST,999 Date: 26 Feb 10 - 01:35 AM Alice, on behalf of Canucks, thank you. I was mentioning to a friend that the Edmonton Oilers would do well to watch the games the gals played and learn to pass like them. The women's team did make me nervous when the cut in front of their own net so often. However, they had dynamite SA (situational awareness) so none of the teams were able to capitalize on it. They gotta be one happy group of players, and I hope they feel proud of all the work they put into building that team. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Jack the Sailor Date: 26 Feb 10 - 11:34 AM Gnu, They played it tough. Must have been inspired by the hit Ovechkin put on Jagr. The Canadians worked hard and hit hard. The russians basically gave up trying near the end of the first period. If the Canucks keep up the same level of effort, dey will be tough to beat. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 26 Feb 10 - 01:12 PM Not quite two hours to go... GO YANKS GO! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 26 Feb 10 - 03:22 PM Oh piss me off! I was delivering supper and missed the start of the game... I come in to find it's 3 nil? And I didn't tape it! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 26 Feb 10 - 03:34 PM Oh my! That sucks, in a way. I like good hockey but I find a slaughter hard to watch. I can't imagine how the Fins feel at this point. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: 3refs Date: 26 Feb 10 - 04:41 PM I had to change the channel at 6-0! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: topical tom Date: 27 Feb 10 - 03:20 PM All I can say is Canada had better put in its best game yet. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 27 Feb 10 - 03:22 PM Yup.... the Yanks are gooooood. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: mkebenn Date: 27 Feb 10 - 03:38 PM I'm lookin forward to Sunday's game more than any sporting event in 15yrs. I don't know if we(USA) can hang with the Canadians, but it should be a great game. As a Sabres fan, I'm sure Ryan will do his part. Mike |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: 3refs Date: 28 Feb 10 - 10:36 AM Just watched "JR"(Roenick)being interviewed on CTV. When I was younger, I can remember wanting nothing more than to punch his lights out when he played. Now I think he is such a class act and is good for the game of hockey. Of course I want Canada to win! BUT, I'm going to say 1st goal will probably win! 5 hours, can't wait! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Dave MacKenzie Date: 28 Feb 10 - 10:40 AM Seeing I'm officially a neutral, I won't be behind the sofa for this one, and may the best team win, especially if it's Canada. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 28 Feb 10 - 11:05 AM I think it could go either way but I have a feeling the the teasm who scores the most goals will win. I just hope it doesn't get chippy or dirty. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Dave MacKenzie Date: 28 Feb 10 - 11:12 AM Depends a lot on which Canada turns up. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Beer Date: 28 Feb 10 - 11:55 AM Just received this e-mail and thought I would share it. Ad. Our Father, who art in GM Place, hockey be thy name. Thy will be done, GOLD to be WON on ICE as well as IN THE STANDS. Give us this day, our hockeysticks, and forgive us our penalties, as we forgive those who crosscheck against us. Lead us not into elimination, but deliver us to victory, in the name of the fans, CANADA , and the HOLY PUCK. AMEN |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: 3refs Date: 28 Feb 10 - 12:31 PM AMEN!!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 28 Feb 10 - 04:40 PM WOW! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Beer Date: 28 Feb 10 - 05:31 PM Can you believe it!!! Now we go to 20 minute overtime and not 5 minutes like the NHL. Ad. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 28 Feb 10 - 05:35 PM What a game! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Dave MacKenzie Date: 28 Feb 10 - 05:44 PM Hey! 20 minutes more hockey, who's complaining? (just joking) |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 28 Feb 10 - 05:54 PM Holy puck! |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: bobad Date: 28 Feb 10 - 06:26 PM WHEW! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: gnu Date: 28 Feb 10 - 06:43 PM Kinda cool that Sid The Kid got it after no points in three games. Luck of the draw, yes, but still kinda cool. And what about them old lads!!! Amazing play by the experienced, mentoring vets. Freaked me out... Mum called me and asked me what I thought of the game. Hehehehehee. 83 and almost too blind to watch the game... and she doesn`t LIKE hockey. And, to our Yankee brothers... fuck me... my blood pressure went way beyond where the doc would be happy and for gooood reason. That silver medal is as good as gold from what I saw tonight. Tremendous show from both teams. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Ed T Date: 28 Feb 10 - 06:49 PM I don't know GNU...he did get that shootout goal...without it they would have been toast? He was shadowed quite alot..and was very active throughout. Notice the guty did not gloat over it during the post game interview...a fine young Canadian, and now global athlete. |

Sho nuff would... But, sheet fire... Silver ain't bad and the USA team did beat Canada as many times as Canada beat the USA team so... ...good series... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: catspaw49 Date: 28 Feb 10 - 06:54 PM Hard to call anyone a loser is some games and this was one. Its the saddest and greatest part of competition. A great game and one to remember. Congrats to all my Canuckistan friends......It had to be a successful Olympics when you win Gold in your two best sports on home turf. Forgive us the 4-Man Bob but 1948 was a long time ago and NASCAR technology finally paid off (along with a pretty fine team). Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Ebbie Date: 28 Feb 10 - 07:05 PM lol I was walking by a house about an hour ago and the crowd of people inside were yelling their heads off. I didn't linger but since Alaska is not Canadian I figured they were encouraging the US team. I should swing back by there. lol |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: ragdall Date: 28 Feb 10 - 07:06 PM Congratulations on the Silver Medal, USA! Your boys played a fantastic game. It could just have easily gone the other way. Could someone please teach those boys to say "Thank you" when someone gives them a medal? I know that they were tired and sad, but that's just plain good manners. rags |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: catspaw49 Date: 28 Feb 10 - 07:09 PM No Bobertz, its a whole shitload more than a Bud sticker. Read all about it if you want to......... The Bo-Dyn Bobsled Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: GUEST,Sandy Mc Lean Date: 28 Feb 10 - 07:09 PM I can't find my cookie but it sure was a great game! Were there any losers? No, the Yanks played great and should be proud! On paper the Canadians were much stronger, and if they had lost it would have been an upset! Dual citizenship also comes strongly into play as the man who tied the game for USA and the man who set up Crosby's goal could have played for either country! No loser on either side of the 49! All that being said I am proud to be from the same province as Sidney Crosby! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: 3refs Date: 28 Feb 10 - 07:11 PM !!!!!! That's all I have to offer! As pissed as you are at us, we still love ya! Olyimpic Record for a little dinky country like us! If sand was made of snow, fighting in the dumes would be over! |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: 3refs Date: 28 Feb 10 - 07:12 PM Dunes! sry! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: EBarnacle Date: 28 Feb 10 - 10:05 PM So many of the medals were decided among evenly matched opponents who pushed themselves a little harder to excel. It was strictly a matter of who edged out the other at the end. As it should be. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: GUEST,DonMeixner Date: 28 Feb 10 - 11:09 PM I don't understand Hockey. I can't figure out the rule if there are any. What is icing anyway? I see a lot of little kids tooled up for little league with knives on their feet and clubs in their hands and their mothers telling me it isn't a violent sport. Certainly a sport of contradictions. This was the third game I have ever seen. But I gotta say that was one hell of a lot fun. Certainly a game to be remembered as one for the ages. I got nothing done in the shop while I watched a game I don't know. Don |

The balance of power shifted several times in this game and I gave up watching when it was 2:0 with Canada leading. But I was drawn back when the news flashed that the game was going into sudden death over-time. Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Lonesome EJ Date: 01 Mar 10 - 10:53 AM Great game. Thought the US would win in OT after the last seconds goal in regulation. Canada and Crosby rose to the occasion. Congrats to all of you in the Frozen North. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: Michael Harrison Date: 01 Mar 10 - 03:49 PM Being laid-up for virtually all of the olympics, I was able to watch several "great" match-ups - a wonderful two-week period of games. Both my wife and I were torn between US and Canada because Mike Babcock, Steve Yzerman and Wings GM Holland were running the Canadian team, while Brian Rafalski was driving great guns with team USA. In the end, we just didn't want anyone to lose, but we both felt that the best ending came about; besides, I really did not think it would be fair to Roberto Luongo to have to face the rest of the season after losing the gold medal on home ice - he's a good guy, even if he isn't a Red Wing. Great game; great rivalry, my only regret is that there were not enough smiles on the US team when they received their medals - they played hard and they played well, stand tall guys. The only thing left to say is: GO RED WINGS, GO!..............Harrison |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey US vs Canada Olympics From: PoppaGator Date: 01 Mar 10 - 04:31 PM Just super! I was rooting for the USA just because I'm a citizen, and was ridiculously happy at the tying goal with less than a minute to go. Still, Canada's win was the truly appropriate storybook ending, especially because it was Sid the Kid who made the shot. And if the US had scored a wininng OT goal past Luongo, he would have had to endure way too much criticism, and his coach would have been second-guessed to kingdom come for not reinstating Brodeur in goal for the final game. Americans will forget about the loss and be glad to have taken the silver. The same could not be said of the citizenry of Canada had the US won the gold. I think it was wonderful, too, that Canada won the most golds (after a very slow start) while the US took the overall medal count with an all-time record total. |

In a nut shell, it's when you shoot the puck from your own side of the red-line and it goes all the way down the ice and across the opponents goal line(not in the goal-that's a goal). I decided to look at my "Referees Case Book/Rule Combination" from Hockey Canada; Rule 10.5-a,b,c,d,e,f, with 17 different situational references. It's no freakin wonder people who don't play hockey find it so hard to understand the rules of the game! |
