What a shit attitude. It's not like he needs the money.

Edit: Unless he's giving the money to charity. That would be nice.

Melnyk forcing him to sell it to keep the team afloat.

24 hours from when the 'anomaly' was discovered, or 24 hours from when the test was taken?

Had the times wrong, test was wednesday and result is usually given within 48 hours from that. So by any measure it's BS to wait until 2 hours before puckdrop. Backstrom must be crushed.

The biggest game of his life.

Problems between NHLPA and IOK is probably a bigger threat to NHL players in 2018 than some injuries.

Mr.Awesome guess what.

EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!!!!

 

[DrForester]

Seriously though, well done Canada. Enjoy the victory!

 

[Simon Belmont]

Haha, unless you count the majority of the names on it

shhhhhhhhhh

 

[speculawyer]

shut-outs in both medal games? That kinda sucks.

 

[Punjabi_Hitman]

He's a center.

Oh sorry, I thought you were talking about Nikolas Backstrom lol.

 

[Kazerei]

shut-outs in both medal games? That kinda sucks.

The semi-final games were better to watch than the finals, for sure

 

[Cake Boss]

I am surprised TSN didnt already start hyping up the next olympics in 2018 by doing roster projections.

 

[Pakkidis]

We can all agree that hockey analyst are full of crap. How wrong everybody turned out to be except for Canada winning gold of course.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

I didn't see all games, but where there any fights in these Olympic matches?

 

[Spl1nter]

I am surprised TSN didnt already start hyping up the next olympics in 2018 by doing roster projections.

They will in the summer when there is no hockey news.

At least it would give their Hockey people something to do.

 

[Cake Boss]

I got Nathan Mackinnon on the 3rd line with Duchene...etc

 

[bonesmccoy]

They will in the summer when there is no hockey news.

Only after doing several 'Will The NHL Go' segments.

 

[lamaroo]

They'll present it as a joke, "of course it's way too early to speculate, but that's what we do in Canada, har har har". Then spend an hour discussing it.

 

[gutter_trash]

went on an internet blackout and watched the game on PVR without knowing the result.

Good job Canada! I found the game to be anti-climatic against Sweden. The 2010 was more of an intense nail biter.

Good job none the less

 

[MattPeters]

Wooooo!!!!!!!!!!

Babcock goes from coaching a defense that has Doughty, Weber, Keith etc to one that has Eriksson, Smith and Quincy.

Hehehehe

Karlsson goes from playing with Oliver Ekman Larsson, Edler and Kronwall to playing with Cowen.

It'll be after a segment about where Brad Boyes is going to sign.

 

[GSG Flash]

I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy

 

[Razorskin]

Sorry if I'm late. Erik Karlsson, on what the silver medal is worth to him (via Olympic News): "You will see when I put it out on eBay."

I had a hunch that whoever lost the US - Can game would finish 4th. Kinda sucks as in N America it's win or nothing, which is so selfish and not for your country - a medal is still something of value to your country. That's why I always love the Euro teams - the Olympics are seen as a national pride event, whereas it's about the players' pride for our two teams over here.

Yeah sure buddy.

 

[ProfessorMoran]

Not to mention he racked up points against weak teams then completely disappeared in the game that mattered.

Well losers gonna lose. Unless you would call getting a silver medal winning.

 

[Quick]

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT OKAY LET'S GO

 

[DopeyFish]

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT OKAY LET'S GO

That's your magnum opus?

 

[Spl1nter]

McDavid first line center.

 

[Buba Big Guns]

Norisson best defenseman well deserved. Dude was a monster.

lol @ the salty leaf fans

 

[ProfessorMoran]

Looking back on the tournament, it's impressive how composed Team Canada was, dominating play the large majority of their time on the ice.

Like everyone, I was worried that the lack of offensive production would be a liability when a bigger threat came along -- but that threat never really materialized. A bit anti-climactic, but I'll take it. They were a joy to watch.

Offensively they were consistently outplaying the opposition, they just couldn't finish.

 

[Cake Boss]

McDavid first line center.

Seguin and Hamilton vs Fatter older Kessel.

For some reason I could picture Kessel wearing a fedora.

Because they were lead by a soft european and an american made out of glass.

 

[JABEE]

Haha, unless you count the majority of the names on it

You win games as a team!

USA is home of the best league in the world along with the best clubs in the world!

I wonder which team is the most popular and generate the most revenue, hmmm.
The team with the most Stanley cups isn't American either, hmmm.

 

[KernelPanic]

What a shit attitude. It's not like he needs the money.

I think all silver medalists feel this way right after a tough loss in the gold medal. I don't recall Team USA being all smiles in Vancouver.
