You're probably overreacting but what did he say?

When asked about their upcoming game against Canada, he said:

"We're going to beat them."

 

[Kearns]

i hope zucker thinks before he spouts off to the media next time.

He backed off from it today. Nobody knows better than him that it was on the wall in the Canadian room five minutes after he said it.

 

[ashs]

Cudos to the US for making a game of it.

 

[Confucius]

I see what you did there.

Forgot the D, Iève had a few. Plus my keyboard is giving me that annoying È when I want to type an apostrophe or question mark

 

[Rob]

Good game by the US. They could have just rolled over but they didn't.

I'm sure playing against Team Canada in Canada had something to do with it.

Now lets see if they show in during the relegation round.

Goal!! Stone to Schwartz!

That was a great example of how Stone dominates play in the dub setting up his teammates as well as finish himself.

I laugh every time a Huberdeua fan tries to mention Hubby, as if he is carrying that line or is the reason Stone is dominating. Pretty sure Hubby had nothing to do with Stone dominating there behind the other teams goal handling the puck bullying dman before he set up the goal. Stone is dominating the WHL without any real star support and is by far the best player on Brandon team he is captaining. Further more he was way more assists than he has goals with the Wheat Kings. Even in this tourney he produced just the same when Hubedeua was injured in pre-tourney. Even that game vs. Sweden when Huberdeua was invisible on a different line, Stone scored 2 goals including the Forsberg style goal of the tourney.

That was the Jack Campbell I'm used to.
His best game of the tournament.

I must take my hat off to him for what he has done in the WJC in the past. Seems like a great kid.

 

[William H Bonney]

Drop the back and forth bickering now, please.

It was a good game. Canada won.

Everyone enjoy New Years Eve and have a good time. Be respectful of one another. Don't allow a game or tournament we have no effect on to compromise that.

I don't think the US played as bad as some say on here.
They controlled the play and out shot both Finland and the Czechs.
The bounces did not go their way. Crap happens in a short tournament.

Canadian fans should know that too.

In 1998 we ended up in 8th place and lost to Kazakhstan.

The US will be back next year with a vengeance.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

How dare an opposing team's player say they're going to beat their next opponent!!! Show some class!!!

Yeah I usually feel its only bulletin board material if you were to say something like I would stop it. In terms of Luongo or if someone said we will beat them and it won't be close.

If it was the right thing to do he wouldn't have toned it down today. Thing is, in toning it down, he did show some class. If it was the right thing to do it would happen more often.

It has nothing to do with being classless because everyone
KNOWS Canada is the better team and he only looked like a fool saying such a thing.

Now if he said it when they were about to play a weak opponent...yes it could have been.

But he only looked like a fool. I was laughing at the guy because I knew why he was trying to put on a brave face an say such a foolish thing to say. I don't think even the camera guy believed him.

So what's the schedule look like now?

Finland Vs Slovakia
Russia vs Czechs


Who does Sweden and Canada play?

Edit: Nvm, Sweden vs winner of Finland/Slovakia and Canada vs the other winner. So basically, Sweden vs either Canada or Russia

 

[TonsofPuppies*]

Looks like Canada will have to play Russia AND Sweden if they're to win gold. Fantastic, especially after their last two unimpressive outings.

Can't expect to win without playing the best.

Call me crazy, but I don't like our chances.

 

[GoJackets1]

Wanted to watch this game, but I went to see my Jackets get shat on instead...

How did Jenner and Tynan look?

 

[JackSlater]

That should be a beneficial experience for Canada. One period of very good hockey, then they were punished for lazy play. It was also good for them to have to play in a situation that actually involved some pressure. I am tired of Gallagher playing on the top line. He seems so much better in an energy role. I would much rather Connolly on odd man rushes.

Good job to USA too, as they played much better than I expected after the third goal. Definitely some quality players on that team, but the chemistry is terrible for some reason (along with a few defencemen).

 

[Nash]

Call me crazy, but I don't like our chances.

You have to beat the best to be the best. Both Russia and Sweden look very good this year and I expected that Canada was going to have to face both to win. No easy path to gold for Canada. Should be great games. Finland will play their hearts out against Sweden as well.

Canada will play the winner of the Czechs/Russia.

I am predicting an upset of Russia by the Czechs - the Czech goalie will stand on his head; the Russians will also have trouble getting past tonight's loss.

The Fins will beat Slovakia and play Sweden in the Semis. I also believe they will upset.

We'll be fine.
