I didn't proclaim my country to be the best at everything ever, so a counterpoint was warranted. :)
The claim was Canada is the best hockey nation, you don't have to win every single year for that to be true.

Game was predetermined by the IIHF before it even started. I knew when they scheduled the outdoor game. Its B-S.
They predetermined it by devining the weather and Canada's killer PP?

No one likes losing but both teams are under the same conditions. Lamenting a game that is only 1/3 over makes you look like you are inventing excuses before the game is done. Preemtive excuses look weak.

One of the two teammates coasting back on either side applying some backside pressure would have helped him a lot. No reason for him to be defending a one-on-one when it's a one-on-three rush.
He backed in on the blueline before the play happened. Gotta stand up at the line a bit.

I really have no idea what the game is like, since 80% of posts are *****ing about having to watch it. Well, some of us are stuck at work and have no clue what is going on because of your nonstop whining.

Half the reason for the nonstop whining is because the ones watching have no clue what's going on either!

Bad camera angle. No clarity. Bad ice. Puck bouncing. Players falling. Pucks sticking. Slow passes. Canada has been the better team at converting so far but neither team has dominated at ES.

I think it's really tough to come back against this Canadian team. Too much speed and pressure every shift. We'll see what happens but I don't have much hope for a team that couldn't even come back against Slovakia

LMFAO! This was the US's idea! It's your own fault! :biglaugh:

EDIT: I stand corrected if this was meant to be a joke, lol.

sorry I am just gonna quote yours...I totally misread the tone of the board. I am just kidding...a little buffalo humor regarding Lehners comments the other night and pairing it with people complaining about the outdoors.

To reiterate, dear Canada...I was kidding. and I love poutine.

how can anyone enjoy outdoor games? It is terrible on tv and even if your at the game your sitting so far away that it is pointless too...football stadiums are for football.
