Iced Hockey...
 

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

So who won?

Or was it a draw?

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

U.S.A 5-3! :rofl:

First iced hockey game I've ever watched, I could get in to this!

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

Who were they playing?

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

not sure - some dead beats or other.

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

Oh, that's alright then. For a nasty moment I thought it might be England.

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

Actually, going by the names of the league teams these guys play for, I think they were playing against a second U.S. team.

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

That's the impression I got from your first post. I thought it was a bit like the World Series where only American teams are invited to take part.

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

Then watch the girls play on monday - they are really good and will get the job done.......:thumbsup:

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

Isn't that why they invite a token Canadian team (Blue Jays) to play, so that they can say it's the "world" series....?

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

Are they playing England?

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

My wife works with their goal keepers mum, so I think we might make the effort. ;)

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

Wow - now thats exciting.

Canada plays Finland on Monday at 5pm - should be a good game. The girls are damn good......:thumbsup:

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

I thought it was the Krauts on Tuesday?

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

Well at least the Iced Ancing couple did well.

I expect they're waiting until tomorrow to fall over.

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

The men play germany on tuesday; the girls play finland on monday after being off for a few days.....:thumbsup:

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

Oh gawd it was awful....:(

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

I watched it with 5 Canadian's. There were alot of sour grapes when I asked them if they thought their team was over-rated? Struggled to beat Switzerland and beaten by the US. The guys actually agreed but the girlfreind's were not happy at my lack of jingoism saying I would never "fit in".

I just replied "Don't worry maybe in 4 years time....."

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

USA was better and deserved to win, it's as simple as that.

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

Sounds like how Kiwi's feel about the All Blacks. They think they're the best even when they suck....:huh:

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

Yes I drew my 4 more years from when the Australians taunted the Kiwi's back in 2003. Unfortunately no one has the divine right to win.

On the postive side I have fallen in love with Mellisa Hollingsworth:wub:

She is my new heroe-ess or is it heroine???

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

Your a mean horrible person. I hope you get bitten in the bum by a rabid Rottweiler wearing an oilers collar.:p

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

...I know very little about iced hockey, but I'm guessing that if a pup wearing an "Oilers" collar tried to bite my ar$e it would probably miss.

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

Well I imagined the dog aiming for your ankle.

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

Fair enough, that might do it. ;)

Re: Ice Hockey, NOT Iced Hockey!
 

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

It isn't really true. Both teams played well. The game was decided by the goalies. The US goalie played a blinder. The Canadian goalie cocked up a few times, expensively. Canada outshot the USA 45-23.

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

It was a lovely game, both teams did their best. Bravo for the Olympics.

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

I'm not sure that "lovely" is an appropriate word for a mens' hockey game but it was indeed a very good game. Imagine what the score would have been if the goalies had swapped shirts at the start.

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

Why is it that when Canadians watch ice hockey they don't sing songs and just go, Lets go Canada. It doesn't sound very supportive, don't they care about their team?

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

What, exactly, is "their" team?

Because I am sad, I recently looked up he team rosters for the Olympics. The norm appears to be 23 players. The US squad had only 2 players that didn't play for US teams. So did the Canadian squad. Sweden managed slightly better, with a whopping four that don't play in the NHL. The other European teams were a bit more national, but not all that much.

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

I'm not sure if I heard this correctly on the news last night but did they shut the liquor stores in Vancouver at 7pm yesterday?

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

Don't you have to be Canadian to play for Canada?

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

That's shocking. Don't they normally close at 5 PM?

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

Well, yes. Define "Canadian", though.

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

That's sort like the question of why didn't Ryan Giggs play for England. We could have done with a left sided player for the last 15 years.

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

The way they've been spouting off for the last few months about hockey I'm kind of happy they lost. Everyone seemed to think they deserve to win because it's "Canada's game." Maybe if it was a team and not a collection of pro-athletes that will go back to playing against each other for ridiculous salaries in a couple of weeks they'd do better.

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

We've had one. It's called a Labour government. Triffic at scoring goals. Own goals, admittedly.

Re: Iced Hockey...
 

I realise this dates me, but as longtime admirer of the former party leader Hugh Gaitskell, I take that sort of flippant humour in a very dim light.
