Grimace Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Well That was a pretty amazing game. Both teams played amazing. Hard hitting, great plays, great saves at both ends and just and all around amazing game by both Canada and the U.S.A WOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizzo Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Sounds like I missed a good one. To back up a few games though, they have to do something about that goal differential rule as a tiebreaker. when you have teams that have such different talent levels its a stupid tiebreaker...flip a coin for Pete's sakes or penalty minutes or smelliest jersey...whatever it takes but forcing these kids to rack up a 15 goal lead is unsportsmanlike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimace Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 I am with you on that one Rizzo. Maybe a goal differential with a limit of +/- 5 that can be gained or lossed for each game. Anyhow last nights game was unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookslav Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 If god were to strike me down right now,I would say,I just watched the best game ever. Agreed...heck of a match, and what quick paced game!!! I've said it before and I'll say it again.... This tournament is the BEST hockey of the year. I'd rather get tickets to the juniors gold medal match then Lord stanleys mug any day. You simply cannot beat the intensity, and the heart these kids throw out there for the world to see. Love it!

Cookslav Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) Ya NHL is ok I guess... I just never returned as big of a fan after the strike. Truth be told I started frequenting the local Ranger(OHL) games during the strike even more then I had before, and basicly came to realize I I enjoy the OHL as much as the NHL so why spend more dough? I'm lucky that with my Job I often travel to Sarnia & Peterborough so I check them out on occasion, and sometimes find myself in St. Johns watchign the Fog Devils(QMJHL) One thing I can say with 100% certainty is there is more heart in those Junior regular season games IMO. And they tend to be 10x as intense and "most" NHL season game. But the NHL Play offs are a different story...thats some good stuff right there. But In all honesty I would seriously would rather be in Ottawa to see the Boys play for gold, then watch some random team hoist the stanley cup, but thats just me If it were the leafs which won't happen any time soon...I might change my mind so long as Slovakia doesen't make another upset but i doubt it.... Now that would be something wouldn't it? Can't say I see it going down like that but I'd love to see it happen!

holdfast Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 I think Canada Really got lucky on this one. Lots of Penalty chances. A Blunder by the Russian that missed the open net. All I got to say, is, they got to play a lot better against the Swedes. As far as Goal tending, hopefully he does better, especially if Canadian Scoring chances are going to be at a minimum. With all that said, great game, second to the USA game in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Governator Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) Canada vs Sweden is my rivalry, the one I never forget and love to watch. It was 1990, I was only 7 years old playing in a bowling tournament up in Barrie (where I now live). Canada vs Sweden was playing that day, it was 4-4 after OT and it went to a shootout. The entire bowling tournament paused during this time and everyone huddled around a small TV in the top corner next to the bar. Loud cheers when we scored and boos when we didn't. Sweden won the shootout and won the game 5-4. It made the rest of that day very depressing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990_World_Ju...y_Championships Check out January 3rd. It's the first day I ever watched this tournament and it's the day I got hooked on junior hockey at a young age. Canada vs Sweden is where it's at for me, can't wait for tomorrow. Also, about a month later we lost to Sweden again this time at the world championships and again in a shootout. Forsberg put on a sick move to win the gold that year.

douG Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) Nice to see the Boys make good in our national game (it's not lacrosse, honest). A fine performance against a tough club. 5-peat anybody? Edited January 6, 2009 by douG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
