If the US sneaks into the gold medal game Ron Wilson & the boys need to break out the bad Herb Brooks sport coats.

That was Milbury and I have to disagree with every word of it. Which won't be the first time I have disagreed with that tool. IN FACT, it happens quite often :p :D

CTV/TSN is usually pretty good. I always like CBC's PBP guys though, but to each their own.

Must be Kenny Albert had to go home.

so as soon as a player lets go of the puck you can't touch him? we'll have to look for that restraint in the next CA game :rolleyes:

Yeah, he's fine, I'm just amused by the accent. Dunno why this isn't Kenny and Joe though; maybe they have the late game?

If he does, Ronny does have to say: "If you lose this game, you will take it to your f&#$in' grave."

No, that was the color commentator during the game. Eddie Olczyk?

Ah, my fault, I missed that. It doesn't surprise me as I often disagree with him, too :)

I still believe it was a pretty clean hit. Hard for sure, but clean. My comment was more to the fact that Boyle was doing just that--retaliating for the hit. However, when asked, he will have the opportunity spin his actions as protecting "his" superstar...

I think Sunday woke up the Canadians. I think they will roll to the gold.

I wouldn't doubt it..

I wish Russia would've been better. The potential those two teams have in a game where both teams are at the top of their games is absolutely insane.

I think both Semin and Volchenkov would have found themselves in fights if this was a regular NHL game. By the definition of the rule, Semin boarded him, and in a 4 goal game with a minute and a half left, drilling someone that hard, clean or no, usually starts a scrum in a situation where fighting wouldn't automatically suspend you.

I won't put money against the gold medal for Canada, that is looking more and more likely again. If the US [if it IS the US] can come out and hit them like they already have, I don't see a "rolling" to it, however.

BTW: Maybe Havlat can pepper Kippersof tonight--as he just rung one off of his helmet--in preparation for next Wednesday night in the Saddledome ;)
 
Re: Part IV of the XXIst Winter Olympiad Or All Your Hockey Are Belong to US

I don't care what the rule says or what the time on the clock said. Clean hit in my book. Boyle is a cry baby who couldn't take being hit. You're defending him because he plays for the Sharks.
