The Official Team Canada/Ice Hockey Olympics Thread - PART V

[JuicyHam]

Jonathan Quick is scary. The American lineup is scary.

To be the best, you've got to beat the best. It's going to be a tough game to win but we've got the talent to do it. I think it's going to be a real close game.

They said at least 5-1

All is forgiven to Rob Ford!

I'm currently listening to an American sports radio station. They speak of Jonathan quick as a god and they expect America to throttle the Canadians tomorrow. Thoughts?

Been this way the past 16 years.

 

[Power Man]

If Canada doesn't play better, they will lose to the U.S

Muricans are good TBH


Crosby has been ****, but like he did in Vancouver, he can score a big goal anytime



But while Murica's top line is scary, it has been their only scary line

 

[ClasslessGuy]

Don't have high hope for tomorrow, hope I'm wrong. Carey will be the best player tomorrow!

nice

12 years later? I understand your logic but it makes no sense for her to lie now or even talk about it if it were true. I just refuse to believe it was anything more than a motivational tactic by the Canadian coaches/team.

Quite possibly but to throw a countries flag on the ground and step on it be it 12 min ago or 12 years ago is pretty unforgiveable. Ask our American friends on here if after 12 years they would forgive us if we trod upon their flag.

They said at least 5-1

And maybe that's how it will turn out.

Thing is... it could be 5-1 Canada too. Both are great teams. It's too close to call. Some folks are shooting their mouths off... well, power to them. If they win they can crow about it but they might very well end up eating crow themselves.

I think this one's too close to call. I hope Canada wins but man, that's a good team with some awesome firepower over there. And to have Quick back there too? Not going to be easy.

I doubt that happened.

The United States of Losing Olympic Gold Medal Hockey Games

 

[windycity]

The Americans should be favored based on their play to date but I'd say it's 50-50. I hope Carey has an awesome game. Go Canada!!!

If the NHL ever goes back to the Olympics Canada should go back to having legit 3rd and 4th lines. As much as it makes me puke in my mouth a line of Marchand-Bergeron-Lucic would have steamrolled Latvia.

None of this 'who's playing with Crosby tonight' horse ****. No shattered egos playing scared because they don't want to lose ice time. Just 2 offensive lines, 1 line of 2 way players and 1 wrecking crew of a 4th line.

Different reactions to today's craziness, including oilers and mooseheads dressing rooms.

I doubt that happened.

Agreed. There is doubt about the original story.

Frankly it's not necessary. We beat them in an actual war. Canada reigns supreme. I'm palpitating a bit about tomorrow though.

best damn avy of all damn time

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Price is going to have to steal one I think, could also see him lit up sadly. Hope im wrong but this team Canada gives me low hopes.

Amazing!

A big LOL to all of those who ripped women's hockey and skipped today's game.

And get a whole bunch of penalties in the process while accomplishing little?

If Benn-Getzalf-Perry isn't getting it done as a power line, its probably not possible. You can't crash the net in international rules and reffing like the NHL, and its always going to be hard to get rebounds against a 5 man box no matter how strong and tough you are.

If Babcock would just put Bergeron and Toews together to shut down the Kessel line, we'd be good to go.

 

[99GoHabsGo99]

If Canada loses I wonder which creative way Subban will be blamed lol

 

[Habs]

Can we trade Babcock to the US so he can cripple their offensive output?

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

If Canada loses - no matter what - Price will take heat. It won't matter how well he plays, he HAS to win or folks will scream we should've had Luongo in there. That's just the way it is.

If Canada loses - no matter what - Babcock & Yzerman will take heat. No Subban, Kunitz, no Giroux or Hall...

If Canada loses and guys like Toews or Crosby don't put up points, they'll get roasted too. Esp Crosby.

If Canada loses there is always second guessing. No matter what.

Even without Stamkos and Tavares we've got the better team on paper. Now we just have to go out and prove it. And it's not going to be easy though. That US team looks very strong. Losing those two guys hurts a lot.

 

[Habs]

No matter how hard I try, I can never get into women's hockey. I just can't. And i'm pissed because all of my friends are pumped for life about the win, and i'm just sitting their like "meh".

I want to be excited. I really do dammit.

I'm the same, everyone at the office was like 'isn't it nice those girls won a medal?' .. no real excitement either way.

Only if he lets more than 2 goals in he will be blamed.

I can see Team Canada exploding tomorrow.

There is too much talent there.
