Olympics Hockey - I'm smelling me a U.S. vs Canada final.

USA dominating Finland 6-0 at the first intermission.

Canada is stacked but they're just a bunch of star power with one line that really plays as a team: the Thornton, Marleau, and Heatley line with Boyle to back up at the blue line. The USA is really playing like a team. Teams are deadly in hockey. Just asked Tavares, Nash, and other stars that play on a mediocre team.

 

haha thats because they are an actual line. as u obviously know, being a sharks fan.

go sabres!! and miller with team USA!!!!!

 

haha, but it is true and any hockey fan knows that line. I miss Mike Grier. That guy is a great PKer!

 

US Hockey number 1 superstar

 

Well I was laughing through most of the first period of that U.S. against Finland game The Fins goalie supposedly had the best save percentage out of any of the other teams. Well, we sent him to the locker room halfway into the first period after 4 goals

 

Kipper is an amazing NHL tender. Today just wasn't his day. I'm sure he'll get a bronze out of it. You don't play for the medal if you stink.

 

I hate the criteria of the olympics hockey tournament. Undefeated Sweden can lose one game and they are out. Canada is mediocre to say the least and they play undefeated USA for Gold?

 

More NHL allstars are Canadien,it's just the way it is.It's still a team sport though,should be an awesome game,especially if Miller stays in that zone he seems to be in.Of course I'm looking past tonights game with Slovokia.

 

I want to see Hossa dangle and Chara mangle!

 

That's part of the beauty of Olympic hockey. Our depth doesn't do us much good because you can only field the one team. If you follow the NHL, you could probably easily come up with a "B" team of Canadians that would be just as good as the "A" team.

Overall, it makes things more competitive, and that makes for a better tournament. What fun would it be to watch if one team winning was just a forgone conclusion?
