Ill give Brodeur one thing, he is the best puckhandler in the league as far as goalies go. Roy was about the only other Goalie who came close. But he made a horrible mistake, and it threw him off his game big time.

As much as I hate Roy, I wish he was younger, and playing in net for us. Dude was a god between the posts.

It does come down to one thing though, you guys beat us, and to that, I say Congratulations!

But you guys did play horribly, most of the game, but were smart enough to take advantage of perfection in your own net, and failure in ours!

I do feel bad for the heat Brodeur is getting today though, he didnt put himself in net, his coach did.

Didn't put himself in the net? You think he woulda chose to sit if he was given the choice?

Ever play hockey dude?

You dont say no. You say 'You got it, coach'.. Kinda like the military. You can blame a player, and they often deserve it, but the coach should have pulled him after the second goal. It was obvious from the start he wasnt on his game.

When brodeur is on fire, he cant be beaten. But you can tell if he's having a good game or not within minutes of the game starting. And within 10 minutes, it was obvious it wasnt his night.

I understand what you're saying. I know he wouldn't sit. Who would? And I know how good he can be. How many times has he shut out the Pens this year?....atleast twice.

Yup, difference is, in the NHL, you get 80 games to prove yourself, not so in the olympics. Nobody really notices a a bad game so much in regular season. In the olympics, you get a couple of games, and you gotta be at your best.

So the top 4 are US, Russia, Sweden and ???? There is a 2 way tie for 4th but I don't know what the tie breaker is. Finland and Czech Republic both have 6 points.

Its like losing your first love, but worse! Because hockey is more important than love!

USA won but I've definitely seen better games. I agree Apoc, had the Canadian Goalie been more on his game things would probably have turned out differently.

Curb · 02-22-2010, 10:58 PM

Well, Canada you asked for it and you got it...
