Now.... you guys will have to boycott Finland... Actually the Fins have been giant-killers this Olympics - knocked out the Russians, now doing the same for the USA. Guess we should be happy that Sweden beat them so that the Canadians don't have to face them. On the other hand, there are no gimmies - both Canada and Sweden have perfect 5-0 records, so Canada will have to be on top of their game to come out in front. However, it was neat to the the old man of hockey, Teemu Selanne get two goals in his last Olympic game.

I am boycotting Canada because they have our Tampa Bay Lightning Marty St. Louie on their team and are NOT playing him!!!??
What is up with that?
oh, by the way, He was the leading scorer in the whole league last year!! Some kind of grudge there or what? Get rid of Crosby, hasn't done anything in any of his Olympic showings.

Guess Sweden will now be boycotting Canada as well.

@NancyMorganG: there have been so many really good players on the team, and probably the most important feature was that they played first and foremost as a team. The Montreal fan favourite (Sabban) sat out most of the tournaments. Luongo (Vancouver) was good, but sat out in favour of Price. In the end, it became obvious that the coaching staff did the right thing. Last two games were shut-outs, against the highest scoring team in the tournament (USA), and the only other still undefeated (Sweden). The difference seems to be that the superstars brought their lunch pails and focused on fundamentals and grinding it out. Team sport, team game, team play, team win.

So like now since we proved we are the best by winning gold and there is no shame in getting beat by the best do you like me even a little again? <3

Obviously someone told the coach to play St Louie today- finally! Mm and they scored more goals than in other games...
Congrats to all the Olympians.

In Canada even our dogs get goalie experience.

YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM CANADA WHEN ...

1. You only know three spices: salt, pepper and ketchup.

2. You design your Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.

3. Canadian Tire on any Saturday is busier than the toy stores at Christmas.

4. You've taken your kids trick-or-treating in a blizzard.

5. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled in with snow.

6. You think sexy lingerie is tube-socks and a flannel nightie with only 8 buttons.

7. The local paper covers national and international headlines on 2 pages, but requires 6 pages for hockey.

8. You know which leaves make good toilet paper.

9. You find -40C a little chilly.

10. The trunk of your car doubles as a deep freeze.

11. You attend a formal event in your best clothes, your finest jewelery and your Sorels.

12. You understand the Labatts Blue commercials.

13. You perk up when you hear the theme from "Hockey Night in Canada".

The funniest part......Hockey wasn't even their national sport!

Could have cried into my cup of Tim Hortons. I would say, if we couldn't win it I'm glad it was you... not sure I'm that sincere about it just yet. One (and maybe only?) good thing was that we had an NHL affiliate here and a number of our former players are on Team Canada, am glad for those guys.

One consolation today is our local jr. team is now one win closer to clinching a playoff spot with most of the division within 1-2 pts. of each other.

I wonder if Lundqvist will need some consoling when he gets back to NY.... :angel:

1. You only know three spices: salt, pepper and ketchup. In Quebec there's also vinegar.

2. You design your Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit. Waders would be more appropriate given the weather we've had the past few years.

3. Canadian Tire on any Saturday is busier than the toy stores at Christmas. Canadian Tire IS the toy store.

4. You've taken your kids trick-or-treating in a blizzard. Easier to hide the fake ghouls in snow graves...

5. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled in with snow. Plus when you "ooze" through the stop, you got a good excuse.

6. You think sexy lingerie is tube-socks and a flannel nightie with only 8 buttons. Warm is sexy. Cold makes things shrink. 'nuff said.

7. The local paper covers national and international headlines on 2 pages, but requires 6 pages for hockey. Thats for the "professional" stuff. You forgot the local hockey has its own full section.

8. You know which leaves make good toilet paper. Nah. We know how to make sure we have what we need when we head into the bush.

9. You find -40C a little chilly. We also have the sense not to be out there at those temperatures.

10. The trunk of your car doubles as a deep freeze. Well, natch. Not to mention the garden shed.

11. You attend a formal event in your best clothes, your finest jewelery and your Sorels. Well, up to the mud room. Then the outer layers come off and we really get friendly. Really, there's a reason for our reputation.

12. You understand the Labatts Blue commercials. The microbreweries have these beat when it comes to cultural references.

13. You perk up when you hear the theme from "Hockey Night in Canada". Or at least we did, until CBC forgot to renew their license to the tune... Now it's some forgettable thing,

The funniest part......Hockey wasn't even their national sport!
