OT: 2014 World championship

[Do Make Say Think]

That's not fair

Today was a one goal affair and Rinne is probably top 5 goaltender in the NHL: he is very, very good.
Myers ****ed up and Scrivens couldn't bail him out; not much else to say outside of the fact that Canada played a good, strong game today but Finland pulled it off thanks to capitalizing on mistakes.

As far as the Juniors go people are not giving anywhere near enough credit to the opposition. We lost to some gutsy performances to Russia and Finland and got burned by American speed: Canada would do well in admitting that the other won just as much as Canada lost.

Hockey Canada only cares about the Olympics, and if they do well there, then they will coast by for the next four years.


So get ready for 4 more years of mediocrity at the WJHC and the WHC.

Not true. They love the world juniors, too.

You know, I would believe that if they actually selected their teams based on merit instead of politics or players that have played on previous Team Canada teams before.

1-1 in the Gold Medal game. Russia got a goal on the PP thanks to a wonderful dive. Finland scored with 3 seconds left with Ovechkin and Malkin on the ice.

These IIHF officials don't know how to officiate, and the Russians take full advantage by diving. Kudos to them. The strategy clearly works.

Thankful for what we have in the NHL. Seriously.

I put vCash on Finland

But I also put some on the Oil Kings

Agreed. Every year, what should be a shoe-in gets left off the team. Monahan is one of the latest examples.

Had to laugh watching Ovechicken holding his wannabe OLYMPIC medal
