6pts for a Gold
2pts for a Silver
1pt for a Bronze
#1 Canada (103 pts)

I've been wondering who that was.
No Olympic Medal sucks. Ask Joannie Rochette.
First, lets set the record straight. A few people here seem to have a revisionist view of history.
I joined back after 4 years away under my same name. No attempt to hide who I was. In the time I was back I had done nothing wrong. Simply posted about sports and other things.
I responded to a post on this thread where someone said we should be scared of Russia or something along those lines, to which I responded "Oh, I am scared". The posters who responded to that mis-understood what I said. I didn't say "OH, I am scared" in a sarcastic/cocky way, I was saying, yes I am scared. We were not playing well and Russia was a dangerous opponent since they have Ovechkin. Then out of the blue La9erFan decides to come to the rescue and I was banned once again.
This last time I signed up, as someone tried to blame on me, it wasn't I who started the trash talking.
After Canada won there were countless posts from people saying "suck my ass Canada, kiss my ass Canada, eat my junk, who cares about hockey, Canada is pathetic hockey is all they have, and so on. There have been many other times on this board where it seems common place for certain members to bash a whole country such as Canada. As a proud Canadian I am not going to stand for that. Since I wasn't going to be able to stay around anyways why would I respond kindly to those remarks.
As for LegBreaker - what f**king game were you watching? Canada playing dirty? Stop trying to make excuses as to why you lost.
As for the American Team, show a little class when you lose. Smile a little. As for Ron Wilson, ya you guys played a great tournament but saying you think both teams deserve a gold medal? Please. What is it with Americans and not being able to just straight up congratulate the other team. When you guys lost in 2002 Herb Brooks cried about how he didn't understand how Canada had such an easy road to the finale.
LegBreaker - a mod - starting crying about (and I have on clue what game he was watching) that Canada was playing dirty and getting away with it.
Since I wasn't going to be able to stay around anyways why would I respond kindly. It is of no benefit to me.
Hi Sid.
It seems like you have taken issue with a few of my posts. I'd be happy to address them, if you'd like.
My major points of contention as to how clean the game was are as follows:
Pronger getting away with murder on the back end (he does it in the NHL, too, so it isn't surprising he gets away with it in international competition, too). He's a stick grabbing, slashing, holding, cross checking, high sticking, hooking little b*tch. That's not an opinion...its a fact. He was given a lot of leeway yesterday.
Heatly was flopping so hard he looked like the illegitimate child of Manu Ginobili and the Italian National Soccer team.
In general, Canada played a VERY aggressive game, which was impressive...right up until I saw players that I genuinely respect start diving when they were caught out of position because of that aggressiveness.
Make no mistake, I will not excuse Team USA's failures yesterday...especially their defensive mistakes and lack of patience offensively.
But if you think that Canada played a squeaky clean game yesterday, you're a homer and a half.
If you wish to retort, you are welcome to.
Oh...and in the future, if you wish to take issue with my opinion, please do so directly instead of b*tching to the rest of the board. K. Thx.
. I love when Canadians get a big head, it's hilarious. We played a good game, great job by the youngest team at the tournament.
.. Im all for arguing or debating on here, but keep it semi-civil, lol
