World Cup QF: Sep 8 GDT - Canada vs. Slovakia

[Burnaby_Joe*]

Thanx a lot!

No problem.

 

[Dantonius]

Canada will win handily. Look for Gagne to put a couple in. And Brodeur is not the best goalie in this tournament or in Canada for that matter.

Which Cup do you prefer, by the way? Envy at its finest, yet again.

 

[loadie]

Wow, lining 5 players across the neutral zone really makes it hard for Canada to get anything going through the neutral zone. It may be the only way for the Slovaks to win I guess.

Who's that guy singing the national anthems? Horrible. Absolutely horrible.

Weirdest thing, most comments I heard about him (like 19 out of 20) comments were very positive. I saw him sing the Russian national anthem in the first game as well. Interesting choise!


This game could very well turn out to be Slovakias game after all. Canada was not as overwhelming as I predicted, they did not have that many chances. Slovakia was close to a break away at least twice...It might take just one.

We'll see.

That's what Germany did against Finland for a long while and got them frustrated. If Canada won't score soon, the game will become painfull to watch when both start avoiding any mistakes....

And they are wasting more energy than Slovakia right now.

Burke saying Moore's injury was more from the pile up. Get a job you big baby.

 

[Rob]

The Canadian team looks nervous out there. They aren't all fired up like they were in the round robin.

 

[nomorekids]

am i the only one thorougly annoyed by that "no nono nononononono no nooo!" commercial?!

 

[Mr. Penguin]

Am I the only one thorougly annoyed by the poor atmosphere in Toronto? "The capital of hockey"? Yeah, right... It's a QF game and a Finnish reporter just said that he has never experienced as poor atmosphere in Toronto as now.

Anyways, interesting game. Slovakia might even win this one.

 

[Teezax]

Looks like it'll be a real hard hitting clutch and grab game.
The Lemieux line is looking real good tonight, they're bound to get the goal they've been seeking. This will be an interesting finish.

Just goes to show there's no ambiance like Montreal, we're the hockey capital of the world.

 

[Burnaby_Joe*]

Montreal has the best atmosphere.

I can't stand that one either. Gotta change the channel when that one comes on.

 

[Mr. Penguin]

Montreal has the best atmosphere.

According to what I've heard and seen, yes indeed.

 

[nomorekids]

so, in the past 30 seconds, i heard the czech republic referred to as "czechoslovakia" and team canada referred to as "team usa"

interesting.

Like a dive? You would be correct.

 

[Burnaby_Joe*]

Like a dive? You would be correct.

Almost as bad as Modano's dive? :lol

 

[c_mak]

go vinnie 1 -0 Canada

 

[Chaos]

Almost as bad as Modano's dive? :lol

I thought this was the Slovakia/Canada game thread..I didnt know Modano was Slovakian or Canadian...what does that have to do with the fact that it looked like Doan took a dive?

 

[Marshall]

I guess that makes it okay, then.

 

[Burnaby_Joe*]

Couple chances by Slovakia.
