Olympic hockey

[motocross269]

Here's to Canada losing every game they ever play from here on out.  What an amazing collection of cheap shotting, whiney assed, **deleted**s.  I developed a huge dislike for the Canadians just by watching half a hockey game last night.  My new favorite team is whoever is playing Canada.  Go USA!

SHHHHH!!! Don't get to vocal against Canada or they may not let us come and fish their water anymore...

It could easily be USA and Canada in the Finals....

USA is a "David"...Remember they are playing with mostly Club players from the Olympic development team......Miller(ex MSU Goalie) has been fantastic in the Goal.....Go State...Go USA..

I 100% agree with you eric. Watching the game last night gave me a whole new hate for canadian hockey! I cant beleive some of the cheap shots they did. Lets just hope that sweeden wins and then knocks them out next round.

How the heck could Russia have been number 1 seed?

I wondered if the goalie Miller was the one I used to watch at Munn arena years ago.

Miller grew up in East Lansing and played for MSU.  I don't believe he graduated from there though.  He left early in the draft if I remember correctly. 
I think he plays now for Buffalo.

There are about 5 Mi "boys" on the US olympic team though.

Dan - Russia has a major hockey program and invests heavily in their national program. They've won two consecutive IIHF World Championship gold medals. Their goaltending is what is hurting them in this Olympics.

The seeding is based on the world championship games and on the recent olympic results.

How the heck could Russia have been number 1 seed?

Guess I thought they had faded quite a bit since their 'union' broke up (and we kicked their butts in the Miracle on Ice!!). Considering the way everyone has been talking about Canada, I expected they must be number one.

Russia has Alexander Ovechkin. Best player in the NHL. They are stacked with NHL superstars, but they didn't even get a medal! Go USA.

Well it was an exciting game and could have gone either way in OT.
I am proud of our players for their accomplishments. Miller wins MVP of the Tournament. Rofalski had an oustanding Tournament.

Great game - good for the sport and for the host nation!
