OK....isn't it a foregone conclusion that the MENS hockey matches will be won by the Canadian MENS team, because half of the AMERICAN hockey league are CANADIAN MEN, who play for AMERICAN NHL teams....

No, the US, Swedes and Russians are all capable of defeating Canada.

Stop laughing!

Canada leading Russia 9 - 0 after 2nd period!

I've started cheering for the russians now! They are playing better, but no match for our canadian girls! Its almost embarrassing!

It was said that Eddie "soared like an Eagle" for Britain at the Calgary Olympics.

Not necessarily true - the US team will have to play alot better then they have been in the past to beat us.

Now the russians, swedes and czech especially are all capable of beating us -0 but of course they wont!

I think the foreign 'competition' is going to have to start eating some of our hormone/antibiotic loaded beef or chicken if they are to have any chance against us.

You are forgetting about the "miracle on ice" at Lake Placid.

Sounds like a business venture that you and I should investigate - imagine how rich we could be!

Yes, the Europeans think having hormones and antibiotics in their food is a bad thing, but we Canadians know better.

Just check out our women's hockey team.

I cant believe this. In the middle of a fight with blood and guts all over the place and major penalties happening - the CBC cuts the coverage of the hockey and broadcasts the speed skating.

What the hell is going on?
