A Canada-USA final is pretty well a given on the women's side, but what about the men? Think Canada's gonna be there, but I dunno about those pussy Americans...

What is "hockey?" is it anything like soccer?
|
|
To win in poker you only need to be one step ahead of your opponents. Two steps may be detrimental.

Imagine two canucks being the only people interested in this thread
Canada has looked sweet so far....the other side is a crap shoot by the looks of it. US will have trouble making the playoffs....go Latvia.

I dunno...the Finns are 2-0 and so are the Slovaks. I'd like to see a Canada-Finland final, with ex- Winnipeg Jet Teemu Selanne. Russia crushed Sweden today tho.

Bleh, our team is weaker than normally..but we usually need a bad start to get things going. And you fucking canadians know you got lucky last time in the final. Actually you injured Forsberg only so you would have a chance, that's bad hockey.
And yeah, as long as Finland doesn't win Im happy (which they won't).
If sweden can't make it Ill be rooting for Czech, they play beautiful hockey. Russia too.
courtibee, do you remeber the 94 olympic final match final shootout?

The Men's US team is real weak. I'm cheering for Germany becuase I like Malikin, Ovechkin, Kovalev and Kovalchuke.

Smithers, use the amnesia ray.
You mean the revolver, sir?

All of those players are Russian.
Russia and Germany have the best looking sweaters, by far. ;D

Ake: indeed - it must have been hard to watch.
Bigred: the photo is of Tommy Salo who gave up THE softest goal in the history of hockey against Belarus in 2002 olympics. IIRC it was a long shot and Salo was, uh, afraid of the puck...

The funny thing is, the Oilers would probably love that goalie back at this point.
Thongs are sexy Courtiebee.....but being a canadian hockey fan is way more sexy.
Who is the Swiss team....beat both of the pre-tourny favorites?
Hot goalies are +++++EV in short hockey tourneys.
This could be the wildest International Hockey Tourney ever.
Who makes it out of that group on top....Switzerland?

Yikes. That damn Swiss goalie is like playing every hand with a guaranteed 3-outer hitting. Brutal game for Canada. Things not looking good with 2 remaining games (even though Round Robin means shit all).
|
|
when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

BTW BIGRED : best part of that Salo goal is that the puck literally BOUNCED OFF HIS HEAD, way up in the air, then into the net. hilarious.
