Thanks dude! This is actually taking place in Montreal as part of the larger Heavy Mtl 2 festival at Parc Jean Drapeau. Line-up is pretty weak compared to the first one unfortunately. http://www.heavymtl.com/

Storybook'd.

We need a new thread for the game. I think Canada can pull this off if Luongo plays the game of his life but I think USA has the edge going in. Can't wait to see which version of Team Canada shows up.

The on-air morning "talent" are all wretched cretins. Jennifer Burke just ended her news update with "Go USA!" Oh, what a bitch!!

I almost forgot about that crowd chanting "We want USA" with 10 minutes left. Fucking idiots!

Giddy up!

6-0.

I imagine all sorts of "non-role model" behaviour goes on in the women's hockey program if the men's game at the junior and below level is any indication. Getting upset about this innocent-by-comparison display is grandstanding, IMO.

So you were annoyed by the fact that the players were playing by the rules of the game? AD?

Very slalient points Tissue Man, I didn't think of the implications to the future of the event in the Olympics. I was also annoyed by the Wickenheiser "look at me" moment and the lack of hitting.

The anthem has been a bit of a joke every since TSN made a point of giving the junior team their "bad singing" close-ups after winning gold. The women were carrying on the tradition. In regards to the jubilant post-match celebration... I thought it did go on a little too long but this is by far the biggest game in women's hockey and it only happens every 4 years so I'll give them a pass on that. The USA team would have likely reacted the same way if they won. And major kudos to the classy Canadian fans for honouring the USA players with their boisterous cheering and joining in the "USA, USA" chant. And flying in the face of Mr. Law and Order Booche, there are times when you have to keep things in perspective. An 18 year old woman drinking a beer after she just scored the game winning goal in an Olympic gold medal is not deserving of any sanction whatsoever. The real crime is the drinking age in BC. Speaking of, didn't a member of the BC parliament get busted for a DUI this week? If this so-called controversy gets more attention than that then our priorities as a society are screwed. On a practical note though, they should have cased the joint for AP photographers before going out there. I love those pictures though.

These girls are Canadian all right... After Canadian gold, cigars and champagne

Lots of penalties to both teams so far. Nice first goal by Canada. Sloppy play by both teams though.

Just noticed it's an early game... coverage starts in 5 minutes. 2002 was a classic. Hopefully there won't be as much breath holding this time. GO CANADA GO!!

Juniors thread.

Canada! Fuck Yeah!!

Fun game to watch! :chug:

*cough* Wicked period!

USA or Swiss no goal?

Does anyone think Mike Richards will be a strong factor against Ovechkin tonight? Division rivals and all. Does Richards normally play against Ovechkin's Washington line? Also looking forward to Malkin vs. Crosby.

Roll Call - Would rather talk about Ollie than the hockey game: 1 - Booche 2 - Northern Wish 3 - dave-O Stay classy guys.

Then how will you know what to say about the game tomorrow?

Cool goal by Weber. Bad idea, I thought, to not give Nash the penalty shot. Seems to have hurt Canada's momentum.
