My post got exactly the reaction i was sure it would get.So,how does it feel ?Now you know how Canadians felt when year after year we could'nt send our best players to the olympics and other competeitions and yet still have to listen to american fans go on about some useless blather about how"we have won gold medals in the olympics and it's been 50 odd years since you guys have)as if the olympics meant anything at all about hockey supremacy all those years.Here are Canadians sitting back having to listen to all that b.s and knowing all the time we would have been winning lots of gold medals if we had been allowed to send our best players.Think your miracle on ice would have happened in 1980 with the Canadian pros there?
i highly doubt it,all the Mike Eruziones ,Jim Craigs, and Herb brooks would'nt have saved you with them.As for me not knowing what i am talking about,well, where are you guys in Athens anyway?If you guys always like to go on about your hockey olympic victories why don't you extend the same kind of credibility to olympic baseball?Oh, thats right,it's because you realise(as Canadians did in hockey matters)that the olympics can sometimes be a joke when it comes to determining who is the best.Funny how the thing i hear Americans complaining about with Canadian fans(our aggravation at not being able to send our best for these competitions)is the exact thing you guys complain about when it comes to the subject of your beloved baseball.I think any reasonable fan on here can see right through your guys act.The U.S did'nt even qualify in athens this year,did'nt even qualify!! But i would'nt get on here going on about the U.S being overated in baseball because of this.I'm smart enough to know it was'nt your best players that were representing the country,so why bother wasting Canadian fans time with your olympic hockey victories,big deal right?
The American poster said Canada would lose in the world cup (talk about counting your chickens before they hatch) i simply pointed out the fact that at least we have the guts to put our heavywieght championship on the line all the time in our most beloved sport and that is more than the U.S can say.What is untrue or wrong about saying that? It's easy to talk the talk, it's walking the walk that is much more difficult and Canada has done that in hockey.You would think some respect would be given by american fans because of that,we've certainly earned it after all .
Eventhough you may not be fans of our hockey we are at least not afraid of taking on all comers,i thought that kind of spirt was respected in the so-called land of the home of the brave?. Regards and good luck on organizing that world cup of baseball when you get around to finally doing it.
But don't be shocked if someone(i can see the dominicans having a strong enough team to upset you) shows you guys you are also not the only ones who can play that game,and they have neither the reources and population that the U.S has. god, you guys should be dominating!! If the U.S can't even qualify for the olympics in "their game" why would you even bother saying if Canada does not medal it's a disgrace?Who are you kidding?You were'nt even good enough to be there.
As i said, i wish american hockey fans would concern themselves with their own hockey program instead of wasting so much of their time getting their self esteem on Canada's results.Does'nt make sense to me.
