  1. I'd love to see Jayna Hefford roof one.
  2. Agosta is the most dangerous skater on the ice.
  3. One of your presidents thought that ketchup is two food groups. Is that enough?
  4. The USA needs the pp to apply any pressure.
  5. I cued him in the men's semi thread. Americans are always a step behind where hockey is concerned - they only appear to be up to pace. Deep down, they all wish they were Canadian.
  6. Gold medal game and the best the CBC can do is screaming Mark Lee. Bleck.
  7. Your thread sucks. MIne is better. Kick some American a$$ Canadian women!
  8. No GDT for the Women's Gold Medal match? What gives?
  9. Why do the English (aside from sheer snobbery) refer to what is spoken in the USA as "speaking American"?
  10. Was I 'planting rumors' though? You give me too much credit. I was merely quoting a couple old, not very credible ones.
  11. Glen Healy was douche-trolling as usual, asking if they're celebrating in the streets of Vancouver because Daniel has scored a goal. The guy really helps the CBC raise the bar on broadcasting standards.
  12. Hey Maclean, You dumbass. Here's how I know without a doubt that there's nothing to your rumour. There is literally no one that we wouldn't consider. CDC has traded everyone on the roster in the past month. If you said this before the Dale Weise deal we might be able to take you seriously. But after that, we now know that literally anyone could be traded.
  13. I find it amusing that people are considering Canada's forwards to be lesser than their American counterparts. The top 3, and 5 of the NHL's top 10 scorers are on that roster, 8 of the top 20, and another 4 of the top 20 could not even crack the Canadian lineup (that's 12 / 20 that are Canadians). That's without Stamkos. In addition to the top 3 scorers in the NHL, all Canadian centers, Canada has a pair of the best two way centers in the world in Bergeron and Toews, who also happen to be two of the best faceoff guys in the NHL. Pretty strong down the middle, which kind of matters, and those are also the guys who will be the first to backup their blueline. Joe Thornton could well be the USA's top line center. and didn't make Team Canada. The USA has a pair of floaters in the top 10, and Pavelski at 20. One of those floaters has a tendency to disappear when the game gets physical, and the other is one of the NHL's premier liabilities and giveaway leaders. That can prove deadly if they're on the wrong side of that equation. Not to mention the lack of character! Every last guy on that roster with the exception of Kesler wishes he were Canadian. And then you look at the bluelines: Weber Suter Pietrangelo Shattenkirk Keith McDonagh Doughty Fowler Vlasic Martin Bouwmeester Orpik Hamhuis Faulk Subban Carlson Hard to like that matchup from a USA point of view. The only positive here is that it's only a one game gig. That alone, and Quick, gives the USA a prayer.
  14. Well yeah, if anyone can compete with the pomp of the likes of Healy or the Americans it would be the odd Aussie. Some cross country commentator who doesn't know everything vs Healy, who does. I'd opt for the Pommy mate myself. Btw, for comparative purposes, the Aussie Open has the best coverage of the ATP.
  15. I love when the St Louis Blues fans start chanting "USA" when the Blues score... with 15 Canadians on their roster, eh, 8 Europeans (5 of them Olympians) and 5 Americans. USA! USA!
  16. I also saw who was in net, and in front of the net... Pavelec Smid Kaberle Roszival Gudas Krajicek Zidlicky Michalek Not bad, but not Canada's back end - and probably not a great indication of what the battles in front of the net will look like.
  17. Doug MacLean revealed on HOCKEY CENTRAL at Noon that Roberto Luongo, believing a deal was in the works with Florida, had refused to waive his no-trade clause for Toronto last summer, a decision he now regrets.
