WOOT WOOT! U S A! Hopefully the US doing so well in the Olympics will translate into more interest in the NHL in america. Such a great sport that is the Rodney Dangerfield of sports. Don't get no respect.
Smith? None of the goalies in the tournament are named Smith. I hope you meant Ryan Miller. He stole that game.SonicKoala said:
But yeah, where the hell was Luongo? I think they should've went with Roberto Luongo after Brodeur had an average game against the Swiss. We should be able to handle Germany, then it's on to Russia after that. The Russia game will be quite a test.
I just enjoy watching Hockey. I guess i should pull for USA but i gotta admit, we play more dirty... now if you'll excuse me i'm gona go watch a preds game!
that is a good point, and something to look at. i look at sports as a way to get more pride in my country.Blimey said:
Who cares, it's the bloody Olympics.
On a side note, they postponed the pro hockey season for what is now something very few people really care about. The whole Vancouver Olympics has been charlie foxtrot from the beginning anyway (who ever heard of a winter Olympics where they had to ship in snow and they only had ONE Zamboni and it broke down.)

Wow, that was some typo - I'm not sure what I was thinking there.Pingieking said:
Anyway, Germany will definitely be a big test for Luongo - if he performs as well as he did against Norway, then there should be no reason for Canada to not put him in net against Russia. Sure, Brodeur has the history, but that clearly didn't do much either tonight, or against Switzerland.
As a Canadian, and avid hockey fan. I FUCKING LOVED IT. I personally hate the canadian sports media; "Canada will win gold, only the Russians are a competition" "We're the best in the world"
Honestly. We came 4th in Nagano, 1st in Salt Lake, 7th in Torino, and now because we lost laughably can't finish higher than 6th in round robins. WE AREN'T THE BEST! WAKE UP CANADA, WE AIN'T SHIT!
Hopefully, some canadians will learn a lesson from this, but likely not.

I KNOW! Brodeur played the puck way too much. He really is the reason we lost. Canada dominated everywhere except for goalies. I don't know why Babcock didn't pull him and put Luongo in. Maybe we would have won then. Also, way too many ignored penalties for the US.Pyromaniac1337 said:
That i don't understand.. USA has just as many professional hockey players as Canada, anyone who knows anything about hockey would realize it was going to be a close game regardless of what the media said would happen, the only "smug" that could possibly come across is the stereotype that we as Canadians must be godly at hockey because its cold here and we have a lot of snow? Which also isn't true..
Ryan Miller proved without a doubt that the US were no underdogs seeing as how he made a joke of a hockey great, Brodeur. We out shot the US 2 to 1, as the news cast said during the game, we were dominating them, not just in the 3rd, it just doesn't count for much when none of those shots go in (Ryan miller grrr) and the US can get a goal out of the first 3 shots.

As an American, I'm obviously happy that we got some glory in an underdog win. Reminded me of Miracle on Ice, obviously.
Except for the teensy fact that our opponents were Canadians, who, despite sometimes being mind-bogglingly frustrating (I know, the feeling's plenty mutual), are people that I find almost innately likable.
Had it been France, Russia or New Jersey, I would simply revel.
