GDT: Feb. 19, 2006 | Canada vs. Finland | 3 PM ET | 9 PM CET

[Steve L*]

A goal is scored and I have to watch a commercial for a 5 blade razor?


SUOMI!!!

Jesus, in 10 years time youll be able to shave your face and legs at the same time if they carry on adding blades!

Cyclists will be well happy.

 

[Vikke]

Thanks for clearing that up. And here I was thinking this was a prelim game.

Oh, how wrong you were.

 

[Powdered Toast Man]

This is reminding me of a Sens-Leafs playoff game.

 

[Silvercup Returns]

I don't care if people would call me a sissy, at least I would have all my teeth left.

But I find it hot when they're missing a tooth or two.

 

[s dubay]

No worries here!

 

[SENSational]

Ok I dont care if they lose but please just score a goal.

 

[BigE]

That was a weak call actually. I think even Selänne will agree on that.

There was some hesitation in the call that I didn't like. It was as if he was waiting for Selanne to drop. Poor call, but certainly not the reason we're down 2-0; that would be the first period.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Huh? He's got a full face shield on.

I only suspected he was hurt, I didn't know for sure he was. I just wondered if he used it while being unhurt, showing he has the most intelligence of all the players in the league.

 

[mr gib]

Why?

a comedian too

 

[zx81]

I can't believe how bad this team plays.
Simply the worst Canadian Olympic team I have ever seen.

Basically they can only score against Italia and Germany.

Thank you Wayne

P.S.
Pronger must be the dumbest defenseman ever.

 

[muffin with tentacle]

a comedian too

I don't understand. I don't think this team is good enough to win Gold or Silver and all of the sudden I'm public enemy #1?

 

[Silvercup Returns]

a comedian too

Knock it off.

 

[ranold26]

Cue the Gretzky "no one thinks we can win" press conference after this game.

 

[Vikke]

There was some hesitation in the call that I didn't like. It was as if he was waiting for Selanne to drop. Poor call, but certainly not the reason we're down 2-0; that would be the first period.

Stop stalking me and get on MSN

 

[Lionel Hutz]

If Pronger had to take all these penalties against Finland, at least he could have done was used one of them to pay back Salami for the hit in Salt Lake City.

 

[Vic Rattlehead*]

Cue the Gretzky "no one thinks we can win" press conference after this game.

Maybe it'll wake up this team.

 

[Dr. Nucksfan]

These players have talent. (At least nominally.) So why are they playing like individuals, and as if they don't know the rules (Pronger)? Coaching?

 

[Makarov]

I find it hard to beleive a healthy Pronger would get outplayed this badly...

That fracture must be worse than has been reported...

But, if that was the case, why not let Dan Boyle take his place...

 

[Jobu]

Can Staal and Spezza be inserted even if there are no injuries?

 

[In the Doghouse]

What a stupid penalty by Laaksonen!

EDIT: I'll take that back. Stupid call by ref!

 

[Bill McNeal]

Cue the Gretzky "no one thinks we can win" press conference after this game.

I don't think that'll work this time. We have to get into the hardcore wrestling storylines.

After the game, Gretzky's bloodied and battered body is found in the Canadian dressing room with "Czechs Rule" spraypainted on his back. The team rallies behind their fallen leader and surge to gold!

 

[Quiet Robert]

Cue the Gretzky "no one thinks we can win" press conference after this game.

That would be great. Fighting back tears, frustration resounding in his voice, telling everyone how hard it is to be Canadian in hockey because everyone is hoping for you to lose. It would be great, the team will rally around it and we'll come back and win!

 

[mikkoz]

Schindler can go and suck a ****!

 

[Noose]

You gotta be kidding me. Unbelievable call.

 

[Silvercup Returns]

These players have talent. (At least nominally.) So why are they playing like individuals, and as if they don't know the rules (Pronger)? Coaching?

Wasn't that what people were worried about with Russia? That everyone would play for themselves, not the team? Now it's Canada. Interesting.
