You will all hate me for this... but I'm taking bets that Canda will NOT win the gold

[sillywilly]

Wo, Wo, Wo ... now Willy.

You can't bet both ways... only Tiger goes both ways.

just testing a theory of mine... he doesn't want to take canada against the field even money cause its not a smart bet... ok take the field

[Chambokl]

The problem is some people want to bet, only if they are sure to win...

Leafs... bet has been there for a long time...

CCCP! CCCP is Cyrillic for SSSR which is the Russian Abbreviation of USSR...the Union Of Soviet Socialist Republics. This hasn't existed since 1991!

When it was the Soviet Union everyone called it Russia, now it's Russia and you're calling it the Soviet Union

Whatever you call them, I still believe Canada (or should I say British North America) will win...am I the only one to take the bet yet...come on, its only a sleeve of balls

No s**t sherlock....They will always be the CCCP to me...1972 Series... All the Canada Cups...Well seeing how you do not know me, please don't speak for me...They have and always will be the commies, the black bear, the damn CCCP in any Hockey game to me...when Canada steps on the ice to play the CCCP it's still the cold war... O and by the way It's Canada..Sherlock...

[Baxter]

Willy...I think Canada will win no doubt in my mind. Does that mean they will win..Nope..Not when 1 goalie can be hot for one game, anything can happen in a SO....It's every teams dream to beat Canada...not so much the CCCP now a days....Good luck with your bets and I hope you lose every one that you take against Canada....keep mixing it up...

wow!...were you alive in1972?

[Chambokl]

Watch it there Goochy... quite a few of us were alive in '72.

[goochy]

me too I'm afraid to say...and feeling it a little lately

Am I the only one to take the bet so far...I really think we'll win and a sleeve of balls is not too much to stake and it just adds to the fun

[Chambokl]

I took that bet immediately... Win or lose it is all in fun.

[sillywilly]

BUMP!!!! who knew everyone on ottawa golf was such a chicken!! lets go

[nokids]

willy, i think you're going to win many sleeves of balls. Canada doesn't look right at the moment.

[jonf]

Babcock will whip them into shape. They tried to play it too fancy tonight. Passed up way too many opportunities to shoot. They're on NHL ice....they need to use that to their advantage and play Canadian hockey. Strong skating, big forecheck, and go hard to the net. Tonight they got outhit and outhustled by a team they must have outweighed by 500 pounds.

even though the swiss didn't win, they made an epic stand. it was like watching the movie 300. even though they died, they proved that even a God king can bleed.

At least we won. The Russians didn't do as well.

[Break68]

They made Swiss cheese out of our guys, Canada didn't deserve to win. Team Canada sucks, all attitude and ego. We don't deserve the gold medal. They played scared.

did they lose? the coverage of the olympics online is terrible. tsn ctv cbs, it's like searching through a government website. what sites do you visit for the olympic hockey scores?

Slovaks beat them 2-1.

All events scores are updated in real time. Just click on the event. The skiing interval times were updating seconds after they were recorded on the hill. Pretty impressive.

[mberube]

Give the Swiss credit. They played good. Canada did play very well. Hiller was outstanding. If he did not play like the best player in the tournament, the Swiss have no chance. He made unbelievable saves yesterday. He was without a doubt the MVP of that game.

Don’t forget that USA beat the only Swiss 3-1. The Swiss are not a bad team and they are showing more and more competitiveness year after year.

[1972Apex]

Baxter, I can't tell from your post... who are you rooting for in this tournament?

Like BigJohnny said, the Slovaks beat them. This was also a shootout game.

Now, I don't mind shootouts for round robin games in a tournament like this, if timing is an issue. But, at least for the playoffs, why not just play sudden death - to the death? The first overtime period could be 10 minutes of 4-on-4, followed by 10 minutes of 3-on-3. Subsequent overtime periods could remain 3-on-3. I doubt many of the games would go beyond the first overtime period, but at least it would resemble real hockey to the end.

[leafseh]

So far it looks like Team Canada and Team USA are getting the short end of the stick with the refs - almost like the Sens during their games.

You had me until this....

[Baxter]

That was for the Sens fans on this home town board....I have heard them saying this all season..figured they could relate....Sorry about that leafseh....LOL

3 on 3 is no more a test of hockey than the shootout.

[Break68]

Baxter learn to read, I said they did not deserve to win. I never said I wanted them to lose.

[mberube]

Baxter, don't blame the refs, it's international hockey. Canada must adapt or die, that simple. We still didn't deserve to win that game!!!

And the Swiss did deserve to win? With 20 shots over 45 and most of then from the out side? You are surely just stirring the pot.

And??? Nothing in there mentions anything remotely close in regards to the Swiss played better then Canada and they deserved the win. Every one expects Canada to crush the Swiss something like 10-1 but that was not the case mainly because Hiller was outstanding. Did Canada play an incredible game, no but they did dominate most of the game. I for one expected Canada to crush the Swiss especially with the talent they had on the ice but give credit where credit is due, the Swiss played hard and never quit.

Go Canada Go.

Apparently you guys don't read very well.
I never said Swiss deserved to win, I said Canada did not deserve to win.
