How long until the game starts?

Pff, as a nation it's all we ever ask for - hockey. May as well let us have it

We're not asking for much, at least I don't think we are.
GO CANADA GO

All you people blaming Brodeur for the first loss have no sense of a team concept. That team that played with Marty was not the same team when they played Russia. I am not saying Marty played his best, but the rest of the team played like shit too. Bye the way GO USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah... any NHL goaltender would have won that game against Russia, but Marty wasn't all that sharp in the Swiss game (besides the shootout), and looked bad against the US.

I think that Luongo gives them their best chance today, but as a US fan, I'm hoping that the Canadian team that shows up today is the one who played the last half of the 3rd period against Slovakia.

If both teams 'show up' (and really there's only one team with a question mark above it's head for that) it should make for quite a good game.

Do you really think Canada won't show up? I have know doubt we'll show up to play, I also have no doubt the US will show up to play. The problem isn't always showing up, the other teams always get up for us, it's how
how we respond. Just remember win or lose the sun will come up tomorrow. Lose you might want to stay away from this board for a while . We should feel much better that Getzlaf is playing a lot better, he brings Mark Messier type attitude to the team.

CTV's morning show today said a lady sold 3 tickets for $18000 for the gold medal game. She wants to sit on beach somewhere.

Thats the difference between you and us we love every Canadian player, I can go back to my dislikes next week, but truth is I don't dislike any Canadian player, except maybe Sean Avery, but I blame him and his attitude on the US, since your commissioner and your owners are sissies and dislike fighting. Believe me if they eliminated the 3rd guy in rule shit disturbers like him and Backes would be irrelevant.

You and us you speak for a whole country now :roll:

Did you read my post ? I like them today and will continue hating them after the game

I hate Buttman as well he thought eliminating fighting would bring in a bigger US audience but it hasn't happened obviously..the owners saw $ signs when the rules were changed in reality it probably pushed away the loyal hockey fan

But I disagree about Avery he's been a punk from day one and would still pull shit..did the 3rd man in rule discourage Dale Hunter or Ulf Samuelsson for years cheap shoting players ? didn't think so

There will always be the "chippy" dirty player in hockey regardless of rules

You're right there always will be chippy and dirty players, the difference today is they take runs at superstars with very little way of consequences. Back in the day if you took a run at Gretzky, you had to deal with Semenko, took a run a Yzerman you dealt with Probert, now those guys don't feel the wrath. That is a direct response from the US commissioner and US owners. The thing I find unfortunate is that the Canadian owners don't get together and demand changes or threaten action. The US brings nothing to the NHL, it is a gate driven sport, very little is made from TV revenues. I love how when someone bought Winnipeg and Quebec they were able to run off with team without a fight from Bettman, but when Baisille had an aggrement to buy Pheonix for about 80 million more than they got it was a resounding no. They need a commisioner who can sell the game and knows hockey, not some dude who came over from the trashiest biggest ghetto league known as the NBA. I would love to see Gretzky or Messier in that role, not some punk ass lawyer.
