    Thats awesome.

    Doesn't look so good for the Czechs now, Hasek is reported as being done for the tournament today as well as Elias. They are gonna be in tough, but they still have one hell of a talented team.

    We may have a talented team but our head coach SUCKS. But the players have a lot of experience so I hope they can sort of coach it themselves.

    I can't believe the Swedish team beat the Americans in Women's Hockey. That's the biggest upset yet. :lol:

    Holy shit.

    We had two goals called back, another chance where the puck rested on the goal line, and the most idiotic referee ever. I know it's the usual thing to blame everything on the refs, but even the most unbiased of spectators would have noticed the absolute ridiculousness of some of those calls (the worst one being the Pronger "slash" during Canada's 4-minute powerplay towards the end of the third).

    Oh, and Martin Gerber is amazing. :lol:

    I think those words came back to haunt you.

    Why the fuck was the first goal called off? I can see why the second one was, even though I think it was a goal.

    Exactly if its inconclusive although laws of physics suggest it should be there they cant just call it a goal. But I mean Canada still has to get thier shit together, there is no reason they should have even let up those goals anyhow. They really have to learn how to stary playing sound defensively. Maybe its just the goaltending, either way I havn't been able to catch too any of the games, but I will surely watch tomorrow to see how they rebound.

    I predict that Canada will beat Finland in men's hockey 4-3, or at least in a close match. The Finns have played really well so far, and have only allowed 2 goals against them. And thank god Kipper's not playing.

    I agree. They got a scare, so they'll be alot better.

    I'd also give Luongo the start.

    I hear the hit by Ruutu on Jagr was vicious tonight. Didn't see video, though. He was knocked out of the game with a huge cut on his forehand, I read.

    Yeah. That's what Ruutu does best though. He is so annoying to everybody not on the Canucks.
    I think he's hilarious, but then again, I'm a Canucks fan.

    There's also a video where he takes Rhett Warrener's helmet off.
