Booche Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Spezza actually played some inspired hockey in his defensive role. That's a great sign for Sens fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted May 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 I don't even think he cried when he got cut open by that high stick either! Kidding ... he was diong a great job out there. Maybe this will humble him o so slightly and make him a little more well-rounded and mature. Let's hope they keep it up and kick some Ovechkin ass on Sunday afternoon.

Booche Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 I watched a surprising amount of Team Canada games, like a shitload more than I thought I would ever watch. The timing worked out perfect but you know what happened to me when they lost?I didnt really care all that much. To tell the truth, I thought it was cool that Kovalchuk was crying like a fucking sissy. At least a part of me learned something.It's still just the World Championship as far as I am concerned, which has never meant more to me than a breeding ground for helping Canadian kids become better for more important stages. They are playing their hearts out and that is all that really matters. But win or lose? Bah. A part of me was cheering more for Finland in hopes Saku and Teemu finally come to an understanding that they need to play together in Montreal. Great chemistry between those two.Fuck, I'm drunk as nails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
