Men's Hockey!!!!

[Megas Methuselah]

CANADA VS. NORWAY, TONIGHT!!! You up for a slaughter, HoreTore?!

Naw, but seriously. I was so disappointed when Canada lost in the juniors against the USA for the gold. So ashamed, too. But heeeeey, those were just the young boys. Now we got the real men playing, and I'm confident we'll get the gold this time.

(Man, if we lose this first game, I'm jumping off the roof into a freakin snowbank or somethin')

[Strike For The South]

Ready to run into a buzzsaw?

[HoreTore]

Hockey is boring and uninteresting.

Magdalena Neuner just won the womens biathlon, now that is interesting! Tora Berger with a nice 5th place too, a very good run considering how far behind she started...

[Megas Methuselah]

Ready to run into a buzzsaw?

Blargh.

Hey, you wanna know somethin? I think international hockey is the closest thing to civic nationalism Canada manages to stir up in my bitter soul. That's kinda sad on the part of this european country.

Biathlon? What do they do for that, frog leaps and sing-alongs?

[Strike For The South]

Magdalena Neuner

Why doesnt everyone just Anglicize there names already?

THERE IS NO NEED FOR THAT MANY VOWELS

Hahaha, that wouldn't be cool if I was a Canadian nationalist or proud of my citizenship in any way whatsoever.

But hey, USA is playing Switzerland right now. First period started just before I took a shower 10 minutes ago.

Yea, we're already up 3-0

I really want A US-Russia Final (So I can See Ovi play) or a US-Canada Final (So I can Crosby get high sticked and watch as Ryan Miller drinks Canadas collective tears)

I fully expect us to roll through group

[Strike For The South]

Final 3-1 USA, And it wasn't that close.

I feel gold

[drone]

As long as Ovi, Semin, Backstrom, and Fleischmann don't get hurt, I'm happy. A US medal would be nice, but I'm not holding my breath.

[Reenk Roink]

Pal "I'm too good for the NHL" Grotnes has been lights out except for that third Richards goal which was weak.

[Centurion1]

Strike i want that picture in my sig now. give me the link.

Me, Meth and Beirut thank you for your compliment.

[Megas Methuselah]

Yeah, Canada slaughtered Norway. 8-0. At the end, I began pitying the Norwegians. Seriously, though; I'm sorry for the game's result, HoreTore.

Me, Meth and Beirut thank you for your compliment.

Eh. I deserve the term "American" more than anyone else in this thread. You're all colonials! Loyalists and rebels, seperated by an invisible line which I can cross at will to mingle with my kin.

EDIT: Russia & Latvia are playin' right now, but I feel like watching Big Love and hittin the sack.

ZING.

I remember the last time I saw a game where the score was 8-0. It involved Todd Bertuzzi breaking a guy's neck.

[Samurai Waki]

I'm close enough to Canada to that I can be happy for Canada's win (I get the CBC as well as craptastic NBC, so I'm gonna with the former).

[Hosakawa Tito]

Glad I get CBC myself or I'd have to decide between watching figure skating on NBC or scrubbing the bathrooms. where's me scrubbing bubbles...

Norwegian hockey players are amateurs with full-time jobs on the side, Megas.... And nobody cares about what they do anyway.

In fact, it's a good thing that they get smashed; maybe that way we won't have to listen to what they're doing anymore...

...

Considering everyone of them plays professional hockey in some sort of capicity....you're wrong

[Megas Methuselah]

I'm very sorry, HoreTore. I hate seeing people embarass themselves in public; in front of the world, no less.

[HoreTore]

'

The exact definition would be "Semi-pro". They get paid a little for playing hockey so they're not true amateurs, but they still have their main income from other sources than hockey(ie. a regular job). One of them sells and makes flowerbouquets btw...

No probs, we're in the process of humiliating the rest of the world right now, especially Sweden, in the sprint

[GeneralHankerchief]

Best-case scenario: USA beats Ovi and the Russians in the final (shades of 30 years ago), Crosby comes down with a mysterious ailment that forces him to miss the rest of the season... possibly his career. Also, Ovi is so devastated from the loss that it affects his play for the rest of the year and the Flyers go on to win the Stanley Cup.

-edit- Also, Bobby Ryan needs to light the tournament on fire. That boy's from my hometown.

Dream on, brotha. You know those little stars on your flag? They'll be re-designed into little bright maple leafs when we bring home the gold.

I suppose it'll be a nice little consolation for you guys since there's still no end in sight to Canada's 16-year Stanley Cup drought.

[Centurion1]

USA! USA! USA!

its good to be number one.......

on the other hand canada won another gold........ im so very proud for my cousins

[Megas Methuselah]

Eh. Your hockey teams are made up of Canadians anyways, so it's always a victory.

[HoreTore]

USA! USA! USA!

its good to be number one.......

[Centurion1]

[HoreTore]

[Centurion1]

Vancouver isn't finished yet, and remember that norweay has one more gold and silver medal as those two russians yesterday will be caught with drugs, and we're looking at another gold and silver medal in a few minutes(Hegle Svendsen and Bjørndalen).

And nobody cares about the summer olympics, we don't have summer here.
