Tourney MVP will be...

[monster_bertuzzi]

At the same time, I wouldn't want Bertuzzi on my fav team,either. Tkachuk DOES take boneheaded penalties at times,but he doesn't try to sucker-punch players that wind up in the hospital w/ a neck brace.

Tkachuk is more of a headcase/moron on the ice than Bertuzzi is.

Agreed. I would take Tkachuk ten times over before I would even think of taking Bertuzzi.

Even though Tkachuk has more of a past with incidents, none nearly as bad as Berts.

Yeah... crossing checking to the throat is much nicer than sucker punching.

Dont let Bert's sucker-punch fool you. Tkachuk has been suspended 5 times more than Bert has. Besides, overall Bert is a better player so I dont see how you can take Tkachuk.

 

[VanIslander]

Kipper is following my plan to the 'T'.

As I begun this thread, and as I'm on record as having said before the tourney began, Canada will play Finland in the final and the MVP will be Sakic or Kiprusoff, depending on which team wins it all. I predicted last month a 4-1 Canada over Finland final, so...

MVP Burnaby Joe!

Maybe the sucker punch is what matters to him?

 

[mattihp]

I see Sakic as a much better choice for Canada than Brodeur.

 

[DownFromNJ]

Brodeur, Kipper, Mario, Sakic.

Maybe Koivu too.

If Czechs beat Canadians:

add in Jagr, Elias, and Havlat to the pool. Vokoun hasn't played too well.

Ah heck, you might as well throw in the kitchen sink.

 

[Pepper]

Brodeur, Kipper, Mario, Sakic.

Just the fact that you can name 3 Canadiens makes me think that none of them will win it, IMHO it will be Kipper regardless of the outcome of the final.

 

[deathbear]

lecavalier has a really good shot.

 

[DevMod9]

I have strong feeling Marty Havlat is going to be the difference tonight. Just my gut instinct.

 

[Spaceace]

Yeah... crossing checking to the throat is much nicer than sucker punching.

Did those cross-checks land the player in a hospital w/ a broken neck?? Don't think so.

 

[monkey_00*]

I would pick Martin Brodeur and I think he'll be the one selected HOWEVER, If he doesn't play tonight like some have ben stating in here that could change the selection.

Cheers!~

No Lightning in the forecast.

Tourney MVP will NOT be St. Louis or Richards anyways.

It's hard to do from the end of the bench.

 

[ALF AmericanLionsFan]

Kiprusoff

 

[deathbear]

how could it not be lecavalier at this point? i mean honestly, if canada wins and he doesn't win it, he's been screwed.

enough with the mario asskissing. he makes a crossice pass that goes to NOONE and commentators praise him. enough already!

kipper for finland if they win, vinny for canada if we win.

 

[VanIslander]

Because he sat on the bench longer than most others? Or simply because he scored the winning goal by being in the right place at the right time to try to shovel it in twice? Less than half a game a tourney MVP doesn't make.

You can't say Joe Sakic's efforts haven't been great in this tourney overall, and if Burnaby Joe is a force in the Final he'll be a deserving MVP.

As I begun this thread: Sakic or Kiprusoff

Mario and Vinny have been less deserving than Brodeur overall, I think. You can't just look at one game, unless it's a head-and-shoulders over others effort, which Vinny's wasn't it seems in the semi. What do you other guys think?

dont ****ing talk to me as though i'm a nutjob. alright? im serious.

in case you havent noticed, oh wise one, lecavalier has two more points than anyone else on team canada, is second in tournament scoring behind modin, and has been selected as the first star of the game for his team twice.

 

[deathbear]

than half a game a tourney MVP doesn't make.

oh boy, i didn't even read this part.

it's difficult to convey my feelings about you and your particular comment without having the mods close this thread, and perhaps banning me.

honestly, have you not watched any of the games for yourself? your blatant and ridiculously bashful ignorance of the matter doesn't deserve the reply i'm issueing.

nevertheless, i did anyway. and i feel as though i'm a lesser man for it.

 

[Big Phil]

I'll take Vinny right now. Brodeur if he wasnt hurt. And maybe Sakic if he comes up with his Salt Lake magic on Tuesday. Of course the darkhorse here is Kipper, if they win no question. If they win he'll have to be ala Mike Richter 1996, so I'd have no problem with Kipper.

You're the one who's . Vincent Lecavalier has been great for Canada. He'll get my vote if Canada wins.

 

[Hanson Brothers]

If Finland wins: Kiprusoff
If Canada wins: Kiprusoff

lol Out smarted by your superfastquickthinkingbrain. I guess if someone shoots at you but misses it's all cool as well? Well done sport. Walt is a great PF but a filthy hockey player. Doesn't get much clearer than that.

 

[pei fan]

lecavalier has a really good shot.

Especially,on a side angle.Go Vinny!
