    wow ... that game was boring as shit ... arena was dead ... horrible showcase game ... best thing that happened was doughty's hit in the 3rd ...

    Were you at the game?

    I watched on TV and felt the same way as you. Maybe because Canada is not playing against another Country? I know it's bought the excitement down for me for that reason. Hard to get into really, but i'll watch it anyway.
    ya ... i was there ... no one could get a let's go canada chant going ... i was also at the semi and the building was rocking ...

    I was excited for the tourney but USA shitting the bed didn't help things.
    Gabby getting hurt playing for Team Europe doesn't help my favorite Kings either. :angry:

    Yeah I agree the USA being a bust took the steam out of the tournament, I never counted on Sweden, Russia or Finland to provide us much competition...but I thought the US would, never thought team Europe vs Canada in the finals would happen, wrap this shifty tourney up tonight. If they do have the tournament in the future it should be spread out or moved to a new location...but hoping it gets scrapped and the powers to be realize that Olympic hockey with NHL players is the best hockey tournament.

    Bettman will still call it a success if he didn't have to pay for it. He claims all tickets were sold

    If you can't get Canadians to show up, I think you've screwed the pooch.

    I got the Team NA shirt that I wanted.....so that's good I guess.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt

    I agree, and that's saying something even though Canada scored 2 late goals to win. Maybe if it was against a REAL Country it would be different?

    Just curious , but what is the National Anthem for Team Europe & Team North America?

    I prefer Country VS Country.

    I agree, I just don't know if Europe was that good or if we played down to the competition, I will give team Europe credit that they kept the games close. I think country vs country is best as well. If this tourney were to move forward it needs some work. I still think Olympic hockey tournament is the better tournament...so we'll just wait and see. I noticed Betman wasn't there to hand out the trophy...even he had trouble watching that finals, hahaha.

    I too, think Olympic Hockey is better.

    Can't wait for December 26th when the World JR. Championship starts. Where is that being played this year?
