My guess is because just as all things do the language evolved into something different in the US over time. Plus, a decent percentage of "upper-crust" Britains are total d-bags.

A tad sensitive are we? I wasn't laughing at all. Everybody got what I was saying except you. It's a generic term. I've been all over a large chunk of Eastern Canada and live on the US/Canadian border so I do know that there is no "one" uniform Canadian accent. Also, believe it or not there is a slight Southern Ontario accent.

If that's the case then I'll make sure I have something on hand to calm my nerves. If it turns into a run and gun type of game then Canada will have the edge.

I dunno how good of a game Miller will have defending the bench. My hope is that Jonathan Quick has a great game on the ice.

I personally think that in the end it will break down into the following scenario. Is Canada's better overall talent good enough to overcome Team USA's teamwork? USA's best quality is its superior teamwork. Canada's saving grace is its talent. Which will overcome the other?

Me. Just my opinion. Price is doing well but I think that Luongo is better. tbh though, it's close enough that it's hard to go wrong with either.

What makes it worse is that it's not just St. Louis... lol --- People in opposing rinks were also cheering USA USA to Ryan Miller during games... oops ... lol

It's only cheating if you get caught!!

If anybody else watched the USA match against the Czechs this afternoon then you'll have seen that a couple of the goals scored were scored in close to the net. If Canada can't keep the front of their crease clean then it will be a long game for them.

I love using the word/expression, "eh". It leaked a little bit across the boarder here into Buffalo quite a number of years ago. For the 10 years that I lived out of state I would get funny looks every time that I would say it after a sentence. lol My absolute hands down favorite though is when someone with a thick Canadian accent says the word, "about". "How aboot that game the other night?". It makes me grin every time.

I think Crosby's footwear has been getting in the way.

How is team Canada's best goalie doing? Oh, that's right, he's riding the bench.

Brett Hull... Now that's a low blow!

Here in the U.S. it's actually spelled without the "u". Since I'm on a Canadian board, I make a concerted effort to spell words the way they are spelled in Canada/UK. However, I will never ever ever pronounce the letter z as "zed"!!!

One name that should be making all Canadians cry right now: Sydney Crosby.

We need a good humour trash talk thread for the upcoming game so each fanbase can take shots at each other. Although I suppose if there was one it would probably ruffle a few of the more sensitive CDC poster's feathers and get locked.

Canada will win. Think of it like a car, Latvia is in it's highest gear possible. Canada still has another gear or two they can shift into. In case anyone is curious 4-1 USA winning going into the third period.

It's only 1-1. It's not exactly panic time for Canada. USA is winning 3-1 after first.

In dreamland maybe, but not in what we call reality.

That didn't go through. Tried Google translate.

I want my country (USA) to win of course, but I don't think that Team USA will beat Canada in the semis. The Gold/Silver medal match will be Russia vs. Canada. It's a toss-up who will win between the two. Russia has home ice advantage, but Canada is a better more talented team.

Since Ted Nolan is coaching the Latvians I'm going to be rooting for Latvia. With that being said, Latvia has no chance of winning. Canada will beat Latvia. My prediction, Canada will win 5-0.

I did admit it either in this thread or the other one I posted in. I just kick out of the people who aren't even Russian who are so upset that the goal didn't count.

The puck also just barely slipped under the crossbar. When the net was sitting on the rubber after being knocked off the net was already an inch or so higher than it should have been. If it was flush against the ice, the puck very well could have dinged off of the crossbar.

The rules are different in international hockey. In the NHL that would have been a goal. In international hockey, it's not a goal.
