Infi Ice skate blades?

Dont matter what American hockey skate blades are made of the agony of defeat will be felt by the red white and blue tomorrow. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

We will see tomorrow 3:15pm <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />.

Yup- we shall see <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. Isn't it really a bunch of pros? I liked the curling- especially the Canadian women and the one brunette <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />. Very nice indeed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

Problem with Team Canada is that it picks some of it's players based on who they used to be.
After the fiasco in Turin Hockey Canada said that they wouldn't do that any more.

Look what we did this time around
Ignla - Having perhaps his worse season ever in the NHL
Marty B - perhaps the greatest goalie of all time but he had a brutal play-off last year and hasn't played well this year
Pronger - has been brutal for most of this NHL season
Neidemier - another one that has just been brutal this NHL season

Marty lost us the game verse the US and almost lost us the game against the Swiss
Except for the game against the Russians Pronger and Neidemier have looked old and slow
Ignla has not performed at all except against the lower level team

Unlike most nations Canada has enough top level players that we could easily make two Olympic teams so there is no reason for us to keep making the same mistakes and putting players on our team that are having bad seasons simply because they used to be great

its ok, wanna borrow miller?

seems you guys could use a goalie <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" />

Ya, but its everyones pros so its even.

Cheryl Bernard is something, she lives not far from me.

12:00 noon PST adjust for your time zone, dont be late for the hockey clinic <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Na the other guy got yanked and we are set.

Hound

They actually have a much younger team than Turin, you should check your facts before we hang you for treason re: your above comments.

At the end of the day they are on and its one game, the past is irrelevant and its going to be war on ice.

Hound

this game is gonna be epic!

fixed it for ya. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

To be honest though, hockey is the least popular of the 4 major sports the USA, when you guys learn to play football, call us <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" />

Never said they were an older team,what I said was after Turin Hockey Canada said we would not make the same mistake and guys would have to earn their spot.
Neidemier
Pronger
Iginla
Brodeur
Those 4 guys have not played well enough in the regular NHL season to be on this team. Pronger and Neidemier have been brutal during the regular season and Iginla has been mediocure at best.
I hope Canada wins but I don't think the old and slow Pronger and Neidemier where the right choices when Hockey Canada knew they would face some young fast NHL players.
If Canada plays tomorrow like they did against the Russians, they should win

Well poor taste in sports is not your fault. Most Americans I talk to dont like hockey as its too fast for them to process, they need huddles, instant replays and 7th inning stretches to get it. LMAO

We have been playing football longer than you and dont need 4 downs to gain 10 yards either <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

They are all solid players despite recent history, they also have something many of the younger players dont, olympic experience and leadership. You cant have a team of all kids.

Hound

Should be a great game. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I have toatly enjoyed these Olympics and my hats off to Canada for doing a great job <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />.If Cheryl lives that close you should mosey on over to wish her a big KUDOS <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />- she is one good lookin gal. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

Yo SARHound! Glad to see that you "Crossed over". This is a GREAT PLACE!

What time is the game? I saw 2:15 but is that EST, CT, MT, PST?

3:15pm Eastern

Same old arguement as Turin, fact is none of those 4 have played well this year. If you really needed older players as leaders then pick 1 or 2.
I don't think the Pittsburg Penguins would say their young captain isn't a leader.

I really hope the old guys can elevate their game like they did against the Russians but we will see.

Oh and thanks for the apology about your crack at me about checking my facts when I didn't state any such thing.

Dude it was a joke, you need to lighten up. I come from a military background and understand the value of leadership, if you dont I dont care.

Enjoy the game.

Hound

One of the best games I have ever seen.

Thank you my friends.

Greatest game on earth.

Hound
