  1. yikes Quick was Quick with help from his mates
  2. Tomorrows Canada - Sweden game is a 7:00 am start, eastern time . I will give it , these games nation against nation can be compelling, but will be glad when they over.
  3. Had not seen this before, but hockey players given bicycles to get around because of traffic and distance from one place to another. Showed both teams coming in this morning riding on small bicycles.
  4. truly i would like to see the under twenties competing in hockey . They want to have a professional world cup every four years so be it , but leave the Olympics for the youth at least in the disciplines where possible .
  5. this tim and sid watching game yesterday. Kind of funny, not meant to incite.
  6. Canadian men up 8 - 3 in eighth end and looking good for Gold. Team from Scotland just did not have it today. It was a off day for them they have been world champions.
  7. this true regarding the coffee, Mcdonalds coffee much better at least in my community.
  8. Trudeau often had not one but two girlfriends at events, one famous time he had three.... :clapping: One night, after Ms. Boyd had performed at a reception at Rideau Hall, his then-separated wife, Margaret, remarked, "So you had a mistress play." "Not one, but two," he shot back.
  9. Regarding John Tavaras, he out for hockey season with a torn MCL and Meniscus says sportsnet.ca
  10. a quick google of Russian flags shows wings on the Russian Presidential Flag and The Armed Forces.
  11. all right thats it .....@#@$#@@@#$@#@..........@#@#@@#@#@%&*% and further more #$%#@%&*% :devil: ( I so worked up now had to edit four times.. :o )
  12. Sincere comment hope all will have fun with this, root hard for their respective teams ect. but also respect the sensibilities of the other, one will be pleased , one will not be. Such games at times make me nervous as to often otherwise fine people get emotional and say things they would not normally say. As it goes once something is said it hard to take back. :)

  14. how... how does anyone whoever the participants frame 60 - 15 any differently, at least people not on illegal substances or over indulging in firewater. Finland - Russia game no comparison. , not that Russian floated, what they didnt do is come together as team. Not a surprise with OV , he a guy who with Capitals for his career overstays his time on ice, takes over long shifts, screws up team play, only time he and Capitals played well was when Hunter glued his ass to bench and used him in spirts. What this game shows is leaving guys to their own devices rather than play as team you often while more talented going to lose to a group who do play as team

  16. they outshot Latvia 60 - 15 for goodness sake , the story line is how well Latvian goalie played, not how Canada did not play well. What it shows in a one shot deal, a hot goalie anything can happen. Game just might also show that Ted Nolan a excellent motivator of men. One of his players, commenting his surprise a coach actually patting him on back.
  17. regarding the above, Guy went for the Gold and got it. .... :angel:
  18. Question is it the hockey that is breath taking during Olympics or the import of the result? Each of these games have great meaning as opposed to long NHL schedule where few compelling games happen during season. Just from a hockey play point of view, see the games at Olympics on large ice, as defensive games , where the great skills of players seldom appear, where during NHL second season, these the games where hockey is seen, trap better broken down ect. Its my view Olympic hockey in terms of import compelling, the game play itself crap. Just my opinion,
  19. Going forward now, it looking like Canada - U.S . Russia play a beat up Sweden. winners play for Gold medal
  20. On Women's side, U.S 6 - Sweden - 1. In game U.S had first 26 shots on goal, ended up out shooting Sweden 70 - 9.
  21. Surprised at success of U.S team. Clearly they would appear as good a shot as anyone else for a Gold Medal, arguably they look best to this point. Russians on the other hand not as strong or impressive as thought to be. Is it possible they playing possum somewhat. Would not be first time they have played middling , then stepped it up when it counts. Believe it hard to get a idea as to who is who, think most teams step it up in elimination rounds. Interesting Canada seemingly have chosen Kerry Price as their goaltender . Good for U.S team to this point, do hope at the end a sense of goodwill will prevail. Its a game . (Toronto bars for remainder of Olympics to open a 6:00 am so folks can watch games at their favorite watering hole. )
  22. great game . Do not care for shootouts. But one positive is that you don't want your team getting beaten down playing to many over long games in preliminary round. Who is to say how long that game could have gone. Great entertainment , but put a few long overtimes together a good team would not have as much in tank for medal round. Unfortunate medal round tie games resolved in this fashion though.
