kickingfrog Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Team Canada is better, period. Better depth, talent and coaching. It will be difficult for the yanks to repeat their fortune from the first game. Seven game series Canada wins 4 games to 1. 10 games, Canada wins 8. Burke said as much before the Games (Although he used to be a lawyer, so make sure you keep one hand on your wallet and the other on the truth when they are talking). One game however, either team could win. Enjoy this game because if the owners/bettman get their way the best in the world will play in the Olympics no more, and hockey fans all over the world will be denied the chance to be truly entertained. Thanks again bettman for making hockey better... ice hole. GO CANADA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandbag Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 I have the upmost respect for the American Team this year. Very dangerous team. I believe that if Canada comes out and starts the game like they did against the Russians, they can win. They really need to play a physical game though. If they come out flat like they did against Slovakia,(IMHO) it may be a different game. Gotta play like it's desparate right out of the gate. Should be awesome to watch. Everybody enjoy, whatever country you support. Cheers Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfish1965 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Yeah..but Miller can do what Hasek did before...negate all those advantages. The US team is not as good on paper, but we don't play on paper, we play on ice. It will be close all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 yeah but who won the last time they met......and that's a simple fact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yakpiker Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 What a great way to end 2 weeks of competition! Let's hope it's an entertaining game...probably will be decided by the goalies. Both countries are already winners in these Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Clemens Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 (edited) I just hope that both teams come out; play at the top of their game and give an all out effort. I know they will and this should be a "game for the ages". Edited February 28, 2010 by Rich Clemens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom McCutcheon Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Hey Rich; Shouldn't your signature have an "I" in front of it? That is the name of the tune played after the Canadian anthem is played..... Hope I hear it just one more time. I BELIEVE Just kidding ya Tom.

Big Cliff Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Simple fact: The best team will win! Which ever way it goes it should be a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Bob Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 (edited) Fasten your seat belts and enjoy the ride........This should be a good one....I hope it's very entertaining no matter what the results are. BTW on FOX News they said having the Olympics in Vancouver could end up costing the city a BILLION dollars but worth ever cent if Team Canada Wins today.

Marty Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Simple Fact: Team Canada's payroll is about $140 million. They should win. Simple Fact: Americans were picked to finish 5th in these Games. They should lose. Simple Fact: Pressure is on Team Canada. They were expected to win. Simple Fact: There ain't no simple facts once the puck drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnF Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 [quote name='Marty' date='Feb 28 2010, 01:33 PM' post='438183' Simple Fact: There ain't no simple facts once the puck drops. Exzackly. This will be all about will to win, goaltending and maybe a little bit about luck. All the "facts" go out the window now. American athletes have a scary propensity for gutting out wins at special times. Hopefully our Canuck boys show a lot of that stuff themselves this afternoon. Methinks pride will be the determinant here. Gonna be exciting. JF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediangler Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Don't worry about the NHL players and the 2014 Olympics, they will be there. The owners are holding on to this for a bargaining chip for the next labour contract. They know the players want to go and they'll want something in return for it in negotiations.

yakpiker Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Well, I wasn't at the game today, but I was at Gretzky's in Toronto. My ears are still ringing and my voice is hoarse. I've seen the Habs win 7 cups and this is the most exciting and meaningful game that I've EVER seen. Canadian athletes truly made us proud during these games. We can all play the patriotism card, but we really have little to no idea of the discipline and sacrifices that our atheletes made to bring us such joy. This has been such a memorable couple of weeks and I will never forget the final game which proved yet again that this is our game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
