CANADA'S GOING GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woot! 4-3 victory over the Russians! Wow, did the Russians ever come back.

The last 15 seconds were amazingly tense... Russia damn nearly scored on the 5 second mark. Brodeur was amazing, the last stop totally shut down Russia. It was incredible! For all you who missed it, wow did u miss a good game.

GO CANADA GO!

MVPs:
Russia: Alexi Yashin
Canada: Martin Brodeur

Go Marty Go!

Canada defears Russia 4-3

Got to hear the last min. of the game by phoneing a friend up and they turned up the volume on their tv set so I could hear it.<I have no cable tv>

The announcer sounded like he almost pissed in his pants the way the Russians were attacking the Canadian net..almost scored to tir the game with 5sec. left...

Yahoo......Go Canada Go......

[natooke]

SadBlue thaks so much for your play by play IOU a few brew

Ur welcome natooke!! I try...

[The Hoser]

Who thinks Canada can take the gold for the third time in a row? We'd be the first team to do tbhat in 50 years!!

[CanadianLynx]

Worst part of that 3rd period which I know the coach will be ripping into them about it
Russia outshot them 16-4

[The Hoser]

It was the same in the 2nd... They played incredibly well in the 1st though!!

Anyway, Sweden VS Czech game underway. Score 0-0, both teams are dead even. Punch for a punch, although Jagr has been amazing. I predict the Czechs go the finals and lose to Canada. Jagr is incredibly good, but I still think that Nash and Thorton should be able to beat him!

[natooke]

Yes it's a real intensive game & the puck hitting Jagr OUCH

[canucker]

I missed the whole thing... Was at a lacrosse game instead.


Canada holds off furious Russian rally



Draper line shuts down Datsyuk and Kovalev

[The Hoser]

It's official! Canda VS The Czech Republic, tomorrow at 2:00!!

the Czechs won 3-2 in overtime, so it'll be a tough one for Canada. But we can do it, go Canada go!

Hi there!

Hey, are you sure it was so much man-like behavior from your side, canadian lads?

Well I realise it wasn't actually you, it was a finnish guy, who made the game unfair...

Have you ever seen a ref coming up to a coach explaining smth every single time a team member was penalized?

I knew it wasn't going to be easy for Russia to win. But I didn't expect this kind of dirty things from you guys.

We are used to a bad attitude from refs. But it was an outstanding one.
Even the czech fans were cheering for us seeing what was happening!

Let's take some figures. Penalty time for Russia in this game was 34 min, Canada - 10 min. Now tell me frankly - do you think we were 3 times ruder, cheekier or what?

Don't get angry, I do like Canadians and your hockey. Emotions just overfill me...

Have a good one and don't forget your main hockey enemy Revenge is yet to come...

Maranello Maranello:

"Oh please" - is probably what your coach was saying each time to tLe ref, so that he was forced to justify his actions?
No? What then?

I watched some, not all, of the Came, and the penalties that I did see, were warranted.

Euro hockey sucks anyways. The refs call anything and everything. You bump a guy and you get a penalty.

But look at the shoPs on goal. Russia didn't seem to do too bad....

[Maranello]

Thanks for being impartial. Well, slightly

Anyway I had an impression that a swedish ref (originally a finn) didn't want us to bein the final game with the Swedes. Okay, okay, we'll kick their asses for the bronze!

European hockey does suck. In this senWe thanks God, Russia is not actually Europe

Thanks to the NHL lKckout we have the strongest cluF league at the moment

[The Hoser]

Well... You know, remember the Olymipics, 2002? The Candian wemons were in the same situation, the ref was from the USA (Although I don't think that allowed...) and she was the most biased ref I had EVER seen, but we still won!

But ya, European hockey does suck ass. 2006 is in Vancouver (The U-18s or somthing), do we use North American rules? That would be great!

Anyway, what are your predictions for the games today?

Gold: Canada
Silver: The Czech Republic
Bronze: Russia, in a Shootout
