Northern Wish Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 On top of the overall excitement and domination, I think it was very reassuring to see the balanced scoresheet. If we play like that, no one can beat us.I really thought the 3 goals were scored against a team protecting, and maybe a bit deflated after the scorching start and tired from the game last night (albeit a walk- it was 60 minutes nonetheless). Nothing to worry about.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 F'in phenomenal!! They friggin' OWNED the Ruskies. Getzlaf was in fine form too ... mind-boggling passing plays. Pronger's still a loaf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 BTW ... check out this article from the Russian paper Pravda from earlier today. I heard about this on the radio this morning. Tabloid article or not ... hey Pravda ... FUCK YOU!! HA!http://english.pravda.ru/sports/games/19-02-2010/112308-vancouver_mutton-0Vancouver: Mutton Dressed as LambWe all knew it weeks before the game started, with accusations about doping being levelled at Russian athletes, and we all saw it on day one of the games, with the death of a Georgian athlete on a corner which miraculously was elevated the following day. Vancouver is not fit to hold the Winter Olympics.Far from being a question of sour grapes, Russian commentators were already expressing their reservations as to the integrity of the Vancouver Lobby being able to host the Olympic Games weeks before the start. After all the IOC was starting to fire off in all directions before the first aircraft arrived.We already have the case of a Russian skier being hounded to produce a urine sample after qualifying for a race, and if she had given the sample, she would not have had the possibility of entering the following round. Natalya Korosteleva was asked to provide a urine sample during a half-hour pause between the quarter-finals and semi-finals of a skiing event. “This seems against all the rules,†she stated, as she refused to have the sample taken, alleging that if she did, she would not have had time to continue in the next phase. Why her?We all know Canada has problems with the future lines drawn on Arctic maps and we all know Canada lives in the shadow of its larger neighbour to the south. The abject cruelty shown by Canadian soldiers in international conflicts is scantily referred to, as indeed is the utter incapacity of this county to host a major international event, due to its inferiority complex, born of a trauma being the skinny and weakling bro to a beefy United States and a colonial outpost to the United Kingdom, whose Queen smiles happily from Canadian postage stamps.Maybe it is this which makes the Canadians so…retentive, or cowardly. So it is not exactly a huge surprise to have international skating experts from the four corners of the Earth criticising the decision to award the Men’s figure skating Gold medal to the US athlete Evan Lysacekv over the reigning Olympic Champion Evgeny Plushenko, whose superior performance was inexplicably ignored.As Plushenko explains, “I did a great short program but did not get the marks I deserved. When I asked why, they told me I was skating early and they had to retain top marks for the last group…Then in the free program, I was the last to skate, did everything clean and still didn’t get the marksâ€.Everybody who knows anything about Olympic skating, Winter Olympic sports and international politics will infer from the pitiful and dangerous conditions provided by the Canadian authorities, which already caused one death, that Vancouver is mutton dressed as lamb. Take off the outer veneer and the stench is horrific.It is a surprise that any Russian athlete would wish to remain in that sort of environment for a second longer.

Booche Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Yup.Was the first goal, the non-empty netter, tipped? I was doing too many important things, all at the same time, to pay attention to the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Sorry guys. I may have jinxed Canada's gold medal run tonight earlier this evening when I said to PEI: "I hope Sweden beats Slovakia because I dont want Canada seeing Jaro in nets." We need a voodoo doctor. Pronto. MattyC made the only point anyone in the room could "He gives up hot rebounds" But fuuuuuuuuck. His reaction to the 2nd and 3rd and 4th chances on those rebounds will outchance Canada. That's Jaro's game. It's similar to how Hasek played. Jaro aint nearly as good but when he is on, expect to jump out of your seat. Hey Hab fans, should Canada keep their shot total over 20 or under 35? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Fuck yeah!! What a game! Loved the so called 4th line's play last night. Perry is the man. As the Punk said, this is the way this team should and will play. Soooo much joy last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 When this debacle was over and a nation's pulse went from "cardiac" to "elation," it was Russian netminder Ilya Bryzgalov who put it best."They came like gorillas out of a cage."Fuck yeah!

TheSloth Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 As the game approached I got more worried that Canada would be the team on it's heels and Russia pouring it on, I had figured they just had to survive the first ...... yeah complete opposite, I'm hung over.

dave-O Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 It's nice to be able to gloat a bit today, being one of the seemingly few who thought Canada looked dominant against the US. But let's be honest here, no one could have expected the Russians to lay an egg like they did last night.I'm disappointed we don't get to see Sweden in the semis, but these should be a couple of good games again on Friday. I can't get a read on this Slovakia team (other than Halak)... they don't look great, almost lose to Norway, but beat Russia and Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
