Podium pondering: Mens Olympic Hockey

[Queen K]

Don't count Canada out yet. They've started out slowly in this tournament but just wait . . . the best is yet to come.

I WANT to Believe.

Perhaps if Virtue and Moir were on the Canadian Hockey Dream team things would have turned out differently.

Don't count Canada out yet. They've started out slowly in this tournament but just wait . . . the best is yet to come. No no first they whip Norway's a** then barely beat the Swiss and now lose. Hmm that not slow that is going in reverse.

So come out fast hit damn hard and blow away the Germans 10 to 0. The days of slow had better go the way floppy disks.

So did you just get back from puking in the bathroom to post that? Know I felt like doing it, especially since they followed up this those ice dance costumes.

No, but maybe that would have me feel better. Can't stand figure skating that would make me throw-up.

Frankly I don't feel a bunch of over paid professional hockey players belong in the Olympics in the first place.

That honor should be reserved for non professional juniors to showcase their skill in my opinion.

Canada will beat the Germans, but the Russians are going to eat us for lunch. Once again I would like to thank Pronger for being on the ice for the majority of the goals. He was terrible in 2006 and he is worse now.

Ya know, I said the same thing as we were walking away from Dakota's. All those pro's are worried about it hurting themselves and losing their multi million dollar contracts. Get a team from Western and Eastern Canadian Jr. Hockey leagues and put back into the Amateur division.

I would prefer that, as it is this is what we have may it go back juniors for 2014. This time juniors with all countries.

when canada cant win in regulation time against the swiss team, you know canada is in deep trouble. so the question is,

IS THIS the BEST PLAYERS THAT ARE PLAYING FOR CANADA?

[Swoop]

...about the only bright spot in that entire game was the hilarious comment one of the CTV play by play announcers made...after Crosby crashed into Miller with the net cam showing a perfect head-first dive into the net by Crosby, the announcer says, "the only thing Canada seems to be able to put in the net is Sidney Crosby"...classic...

In a word "NO".!!

I questioned this from the moment this team was announced.

Shea Webber is sure getting lots of ice time.......
