I see your point for the prospects game, hmm. Not sure how to fix that to be truthful, suggestions?
Fighting in hockey THESE days is all but useless in my opinion. It HAD its place, it doesn't anymore. There is absolutely no reason it needs to be in the game, however it is part of it and I would rather the game stay the same it was during the golden ages.
Orrs goal was amazing, however if you were Canadian, it was our version of the Miracle on Ice. Canada no longer has a stranglehold on mens gold in the Olympics, USA was a better team and I will admit, should have won that game.
I was contemplating putting #2 as #1 but I asked 3 unbiased people and 2/3 said Summit Series, other said Miracle. It is a wire thin difference IMO. |
Are you serious? USA was not the better team not on paper, and eventually not in execution. USA defense [aled in comparison to Canada's D, Canada was younger, faster , stronger. The forwards were on par but the advnatge definitely goes to Canada on the strength of Towes, Crosby, Iginla, Heatley etc... Goaltending goes to Ryan Miller (the reason that game went into OT)
What worked for USA is that they worked as a cohesive unit quicker than Canada did but once Canada did they fucking rolled, Canada lost to USA that game in the prelims because of Brodeur and only Brodeur. Let's not forget Canada never trailed in the gold medal game, not once. So no the USA did not blow anything, it was not a situation where they should have won that game and blew it, Canada was the odds on favorite to win and they did simple as that. So to imply that the USA should have won that game sells Canada so short and sells your team short too, they shouldn't have won, hell they shouldn't have made it to OT but they did and that's impressive.
