Nice uncalled trip before that goal. And of course Ovechkin won't get suspended.

Shea Weber just called Ovi to tell him nice hit and not to worry.

I just have a feeling that Ovie will skate because is a known commodity to the casual fan. Love or hate the Rangers, they've been shafted a few times this postseason.

IIHF Final:

USA 4 CAN 3 OT
Jack Johnson with the OT Winner on the PP (Tavares Delay of Game 59:59). Thanks to TSN Toronto radio for giving live coverage of the game.

No comments on this? US beats Canada and nobody comments? It's practically a National *ing Holiday when we beat Canada. I almost felt bad for a Canadian coworker today. Almost.

It's the IIHF World Championships. Basically, the equivalent of the NIT for the teams that didn't make the playoffs or were eliminated early.

But is only matters if it's the Olympics, and a REAL gold medal is on the line. Sure, it's nice to beat Canada in other tournaments, but...

If its something to hang over Canadians I'm happy. The Canadians seem to have some interest in this tournament so they are upset as this post on another board attests:

literally losing to this roster

Re: NHL 2012: Playoffs! Pick Your Overtime Winners!

Canada's got a number of all-stars on their roster.

I don't even recognize more that half our team.

Besides that, every Canadian will tell you that their 5th team could beat our best.

This is a good win and Canadians are embarrassed right now although they'll say that this tourney really doesn't matter - since they lost.

Either way, they wanted to win and they didn't.

They would whine about losing to ANY United States team. Hockey is the one thing they have, short of the occasional skier, knuckledragger, or skater. ;)
 
Re: NHL 2012: Playoffs! Pick Your Overtime Winners!

I watched bits and pieces of the first two periods, then caught the last 30 seconds from the Rangers radio feed. The color guy was adamant that "the reffing once again ruined this game and caused the Rangers loss."

I figured if that was the case, jmh would be here whining up a storm. I saw the ovechkin hit but were there other instances where the refs didn't call things right? Or are the rangers radio guys just a couple of crying homers?

I do agree that after comparing rosters, this was definitely an upset. I'm just a little hesitant to celebrate because the woman's team also beat Canada, then lost in the champ game in OT. You expect them to meet again so it's tough to be overly celebratory. If it was an elimination game you'd see much more excitement.

Oh, I agree. This is a win in the preliminary round of quite possibly the least important of international tourneys (to the west anyway).

They're so over the top arrogant about hockey up there though that I'll take any win, any time. All the better that it was a win by our 4th string team.

I was pleasantly surprised that we didn't lose by 5, so a win was nice.
