    The gold medal just got a lot harder for Canada.
    Go Canada!

    A lot harder but NOT impossible. I still believe we can pull this off...as crazy as it may seem :D

    True.The question is Brodeur or Luongo.

    Congrates to the USA...we out played you by a country mile, but it was not enough. The problem isn't our players, the problem coaching, I watch his NHL team regularly outshoot their opponents by margins and loose, if you ask me it's him and his system, not always great goaltending he has so many people in Detroit believing.

    A Stanley Cup and consecutive finals appearances will do that...
    Nice to see a Red Wing owned the game though- Brian Rafalski was outstanding tonight.

    Yes but the last 2 seasons he got tremendous goaltending from Ozzy, but by the 7th game last season they were out of gas, and your talking about a team last season that had 4 solid lines. Guarantee you if Bowman was coaching they win last season. Bowman is at 80% responsible for those 4 cups, now that he's gone to Chicago and been consulting with them look at the drafts and players they have. Detroit has no up an coming superstars, they have some 3rd or 4th line players, but you won't win with those.

    That's ok - Ben Franklin invented hockey. Ok, I just made that up. It was actually bifocals.

    CHOKE CANADA CHOKE
    How the fuck have we choke, we played a great game we lost, everytime you loose doesn't mean you've choked.
    I was saying choke canada choke to combat the go canada go chants

    This is your sport on your home ice infront of your fans and you aren't saying this is a choke, come on dude. I know were cownoy fans and all and where cool with each other but this was def a choke. This would be like america loosing to canada in basketball or football[/quote]

    Ahh Metsfan you're just causing shit.Sitting at home laughing your ass off at who will take the bait(including me).
    Canada dominated this game and Miller saved the day for the U.S. simple as that.

    yeah speedy that is fucking ridiculous

    of course if you said this to Gary Bettman and the knobs that run the US, they will somehow spin that as positive, in that, perhaps the rating on MSNBC grab more 17-34 young white males as compared to CNBC :roll:

    that goal was an appropriate capper, a unsure Canadian looking around for his protection, a hungry American seizing the opportunity

    Brodeur was out shined by Hiller and Miller

    Detroit never has up and coming superstars, that's the penalty for getting one of the last first round draft picks year after year.
    But they have strong scouting and pick players that everyone overlooks, that then become good.

    Pavel Datsyuk- 171st overall pick
    Johan Franzen- 97th overall
    Tomas Holmstrom- 257th overall
    Henrik Zetterberg- 210th overall

    They are all in their late 20's and early 30's and were discovered when Bowman was a part of the organization, Detroit has not uncovered any gems as of late. They also traded their picks away at the deadline is another reason why they no first round picks, ask Washington, they drafted Green with Detroits pick.
