Canada V USA - Olympics Hockey

**Lawrence** · 02-27-2010, 01:35 PM

Well, this is going to be an awesome match on Sunday 2/27/10!

While Team USA has been far and away the best, most consistent team in these Olympics - Canada will bring "hockey home".

Go Team Canada!

US Hockey Team is in good farm then Canadian Hockey Team.
I’m as a Canadian “GO CANADA GO” but it’s a very hard to win.

Well, being that most, if not all, play in the NHL, I think it makes little difference. I would like to see the USA win, but in the end, they will all be back playing for the teams that pay them to play, most of which are located in the USA. They ARE the best in the world, but they play for money. Nothing more.

I will be watching that game tomorrow, in Toronto, in my room so as not to draw too much ire as I and Mrs. Layoutshooter cheer on those who wear our flag. Other than that, I hope it is a GREAT and CLOSE game.

Who won the gold in Curling?

**layoutshooter** · 02-28-2010, 08:48 AM

Canada won the men's gold, I think Sweden won the women's.

**mac61** · 02-28-2010, 07:01 PM

Yes! Lawrence, CANADA brings it Home.
“GO CANADA GO”

Yep, I know, I watched the men's game. Canada out played the U.S. most of the time. Not the style of hockey I like to watch but well played. Clean game, not much fooling around. Just a bit boring. And yes, I would have felt that way had the U.S. won.

Canada deserved the win.

well, well, well...nice try USA....

They lost to the better team. Boring game. Canada did better this Olympics overall than the U.S. did. U.S. had more medals but Canada had more wins. There is the gold medal winners and losers. They got their monies worth, eh?

They usually do better on home turf as well.....both sides, less travel, closer to family.

Canada finally decided to spend some real money this time 112 million dollars more that is...paid off in spades. Usually they are poorly funded and inadequate training facilities.
