bishoptl, you do requests? I 'request' this Hasek tag be removed before it gives bad karma to Team Canada before the upcoming World Cup, where The Good Guys will light up Ol' Dirty Hasek in a quarterfinal pounding en route to an undefeated Cup finals romp.
Yeah, it'll look something like that, but Hasek will be lying broken and weeping in his crease.
As for my tag, "seasick, yet still docked" is a classic. 'No dirty ol' punches' would have worked, but it's taken now. :\
Yeah, until the last 2 Olympics the Canada/World Cup was much more important to win as far as real sporting pride goes. There's no doubt the Olys are always the most well-known and watched event, but it just depends on what you consider important I guess. For me certainly, the elite tourneys (CC, WJC) were always more important than the rest (Olys, WHC).
