he Canadians play the Swiss in Hockey. The Swiss are taking tons of penalties so far, but there is still no score.

Hopefully this loss is a positive for Canada, like when Sweden beat them in 2002. Got them focused. Canada isn't playing very well right now. Getting nervous.

Holy Fuck, the USA/Slovakia game is awesome. Way more end to end action than the Canada/Swiss game.
I'm freaking out watching it. |

For some reason I can't really get into the Olympics at all except for the hockey. I don't see why every 4 years I am suppose to care about skiing or any other events after not hearing anything about them for the 4 years inbetween the Olympics. Some people try to say they are representing your country, but so what? There is teams representing the United States all the time and nobodys overally excited for those teams, why should I care about the Olympics?

What Stima states is true. It's why I often wonder why the US and Canada don't have televised 'speed skating' or whatever like other countries do. We should be able to see these events all the time, not just once every four years. It would help the sports fundings as well.
Anyway.. Fuck you, Tkachuk. |

We were asked why people watch the Olympics in my Sport Marketing class, and I said because of the tradition and the fact that they are seeing people who are representing your country. The more I thought about it though, I know plenty of teams "representing" America. Like when I was high school a couple of kids I know played for some American hockey team playing in the Czech Republic. I mean technically they are representing America but nobody really cared that?

Summer Olympics is a little bit more understandable, from an American prospective atleast. Track and field sports are pretty big in America (atleast where I'm from) so even though they never really show those events on TV inbetween the Olympic games, people are still fimilar with them.

I can't wait for Canada/Finland. Finland looked great against the Czechs and Canada is feeling the must-win pressure, I have a feeling its going to be a great game.
The Olympics midseason is what always got me back into hockey, I barely pay attention at all the first half and watch it like its baseball the second. |

It's 1-1 after 2 periods in the Sweden/USA game. Not anywhere near the pace of yesterdays game.

US lost 2-1. Good thing for them their division is so weak. Even though with a 1-2-1 record (one game to go), they still make the semi-finals.
Now Canada is getting themselves run around by the Finns so far. 1-0 early in the 1st. |

if Kiprusoff was playing for finland they would be my fav to win gold. I think it's time for canada to switch the goalie 8-)

Another 2-0 shutout loss for Canada. They played pretty good, but not good nough to win. I'm pretty uncomfortable as a Canadian right now.

1 point to samichna on the umlaut call.
Though doesn't the a in 'umlaut' also have an umlaut, thus creating a maze of circular logic? |

I dont like these picks: Draper..he's like carry-on luggage to the other teams stars. Doan, always thought he was a tad over-rated. Regehr..at first didnt mind but he sucks thus far. Also too many bolts on this team..not enough staal. Canada on paper has so much damn talent, but they dont really show it much. The russians are so creative with the puck and fast, and they just love to speed all around the ice..that is exciting..we play for systems..cycling..blahh.... btw, does Joe Thornton, ever fucking show up for big games? He sucks in the playoffs and he isnt that great right now, this guy should be able to show why he was chosen as an elite player. |

I agree.
There is not enough youth on this team. Youth = energy. Even Crosby would be doing better than a Draper or a Thorton. I hate to critisize, I mean Canada could still win gold, but I do not like the chemistry of this team. Also Phenuf, he have provided some spark to this team. Staal, like you mentioned. I think regardless of what the outcome, Canada needs to change their direction. No more Quinn as coach, no more Gretzky as GM. There needs to be a new movement in the Canadian system. Canada always gets trapped in these senerios. ONce they have sucess, they stop looking and stick with the system that last won. Well things change, 4 years is a long time and other teams evolve, we can't think we are above evolution. Still cheering for them, but man.... |
