Winter Olympics 2010 Vancouver

Well what a suprise, Canada is getting help from the referees after being outplayed by Switzerland.

The first call was ridiculous and it contributed to the first goal and now after Switzerland have put them under pressure there's another joke of a call to relieve the pressure. Almost feels like an old Canada Cup game.

It's going to be nearly impossible for any other nation to win the tournament

:lol: like feck, the trips and interferences that have been missed this game by the Swiss goes to show how lucky they are that they arent playing a man down all fecking game.

I almost thought the hit on Iggy wasnt going to get called.

And how in gods name are we being outplayed by them? The game is even if anything.

Comedic post.
 
What the feck is going on, 2-2. Canada dominating but unable to finish. It's like a bad that's what she said joke.

Oh, and ILBB15, you sound like a scouser.
 
Good game from a neut perspective, i'm shocked by how poor the Crosby-Nash-Bergeron line is playing.
 
I think it's actually Nash-Crosby-Iginla tonight

Bergeron played with Nash and Crosby in the 2nd except for the powerplay they played on.

I do believe you're right from the first period, but Boyle played with Weber which didn't happen in game 1 so Babcock is shaking it up.

Now you gotta go all out, Sharkline gets more minutes, get Crosby on in attacking faceoff positions, sort out the bottom 2 lines and give the Blackhawks 2 more fecking time on D... Doughty won't get many minutes now or against the USA, mind you Pronger has been worse than him.
 
You're probably right. I agree, the Sharks line has no doubt looked the best. Now they just went close again.
 
Would have liked Switzerland to win for the cinderella story but no big deal. It was a great hockey game.
 
Could bite us in the end... Good point for the Swiss now, they can get to 4 points with a win over Norway and avoid am in form team in the quarter.

How about that 4 minute hackjob done on Crosby's face?... Yeah I quoted you again.

:lol: Relax only winding you up since I know we have a few canadians on the caf ready to take the bait ;)

Very inspirational performance from the Swiss. Fantastic hockey game. Goaltending was insane to say the least.

I have a feeling this will be the best hockey tournament ever, with it being in Canada n' all.
 
Early news is Seabrook is hurt, but Iggy was left out for percautionary reasons... Why? I don't know, stupid coaching.
 
You're probably right. I agree, the Sharks line has no doubt looked the best. Now they just went close again.

I think Heatley and Thornton will be Canadas most important players throughout the tournament.
 
It's awesome that Marleau is playing strong too, and Dan Boyle has been the best D-man by far

The talent on display in this tournament is really ridiculous. Combines a lot of the best veterans like Forsberg, Lindstrom, Pronger, Brodeur, Jagr, Federov, Selanne, Alfredsson, etc, a lot of talent from players in their prime and a lot of talent from a group of new, legitimate, superstars (but I'm guessing that can be said about most major tournaments in any sport)

I was only young back in 87, but from what my brothers have said the Canada Cup of 87' in Montreal was the greatest Hockey Tournament they have ever seen.

My dad says 72' was the best he has seen or the 76' Canada Cup (but that's probably because Orr was one of his favourite players, and he played so well in the tournament that it was sort of a last hurrah for Orr too).

In Canada at least, to live up to 87', these Olympics would have to be just awesome hockey throughout and probably end in a Canadian gold...

Err, look at some of the Summit Series and Canada Cup games.
 
Missed the Canada match heard that they surprisingly had help from the refs as usual *cough cough:angel:
 
Best of 3 in the finals. All the games ended up 6-5, the first game going to the Soviets, the next two going to Canada...







That last goal is probably the second most famous goal in Team Canada's history behind Henderson's against the Soviets.

Canada's team was awesome. Fuhr in net, Coffey, Bourque, Murphy and Hartsburg in defense, Gretzky, Lemiuex (times 2), Messier, Hawerchuk, Gartner, Gilmour, Anderson, Tocchet, Goulet etc. forwards

The Americans and the Soviets had some talent as well.
