Team Canada
Good game for Canada tonight! I really like how the Canadian players do not have their individual names on the back of their jerseys, looks more like a cohesive team that way!

I kind of liked the "vintage jerseys" in tribute to the 1920 Winnipeg Falcons - Canada's first gold medal winning team in Olympic hockey history. I guess you'll be able to purchase them in stores across the country, they're produced by Bauer Nike Hockey.
To bad to see Jovo go out w/ a knee injury. Bring on the Slovaks.

I realize that last night's jerseys were from the 1920s, but even then, was yellow ever one of Canada's national colours? Those things were UGLEH!!!

But...
The Swedes also played the "filler" team, aka Germany; so it was the easiest game they'll have during the tournament. Sweden will very likely win that pool but they'll have a harder time in the semi-finals.

Keep an eye out for the Finns. Their game against Sweden tomorrow afternoon should be a good one.
When applying the Rules, you follow them line by line. You don't read between them.

All I can say is that we should just enjoy hockey while it lasts cuz there ain't gonna be a season this year. :cryin
Even if there was a deal between the players and the league some of the best players have committed themselves to other clubs/leagues.
Personally, I don't care for "names on jerseys"...... must be an American thing (like the blue puck). At least we don't have to watch the Olympics and we get hockey instead.
As for my take on the World Cup?
I hope that "Super Slack Mario" gets hammered by someone and knocks some sense into him. He DOES NOT belong on Team Canada. He hasn't proven himself in what? 5 years or so?
Why do they play in Toronto? There is no love for International hockey there! All they care about is the Leafs. The Sweden game must be sold out. Boos for Alfie of course. Great crowd there!!!
All in all, at least we have hockey, for now. But it's gonna be a while before we see Hasek in a Sens uniform........

5 - 0... that wasn't hard.
Slovaks couldn't get any offence going the entire game.[url=http://www.zeemine.com/]Zeemine[/url]

Deceiving result against the Slovaks. Obviously the Canadian media is making last night's game out to be better than it was, which is normal, but Martin Brodeur made it look easier than it really was. The poor Slovaks have no goaltending, and lost their entire top line to injuries (Palffy, Handzus, Bondra).
Looking forward to seeing how the Czechs perform against Canada. So far they have looked inconsistent but very dangerous. Totally destroying the Swedes was something that even I didn't expect (which is strange, because I normally always assume the Czechs will pummel their opponents).
Bring on the Canadians!!!

In fact, I'd say that Brodeur is the only top-echelon goalie in this whole tournament, which is Canada's biggest advantage. I find it funny that the media has spent so much time on that loser Mario Lemieux (who has looked old and out of place on his team and should either retire or be euthanized), when the best player on the team is Brodeur by a long-shot.

5-0 has less to do with the goalie, and more to do with the other players. Just about any goalie in the tournament could have won with last night. Not saying Brodeur didn't play great, or isn't the best goalie in the tourney, just stating the fact that 5 goals doesnt hurt. Lemieux looked OK last night, but I agree, he's taking a spot from other great young guys that can play as well as he can these days. 10 years ago, Mario was at the top, today, he's no superstar compared to St. Louis, Richards, Iginla, etc.

There are so many talented players on this team that it’s very difficult point out the best. Brodeur is one of them.
Your Lemieux comments are completely ridicules to me and the 90% + of the attendees in TO last night. They were all chanting for Lemieux.
As for Brodeur being the only top seed goltender in this tournament, how about Kipussof. Hasn’t he proven something last year? In addition, Hesch is not that bad.Strive for perfection, but never expect it!

The Slovak goaltending was weak on a couple of goals but they certainly didn't get much help from the rest of the team and were hung out to dry most of the second period.
The Slovaks, like just about every team in the tournament lack significant depth - once you get by the first dozen or so players, the talent level drops off. Not a surprise in the Slovak case since there are only 5 million folks in the country and the same goes for the Czechs with only 10 million. Canada lost a number of players (Pronger, Yzerman, Bertuzzi, Belfour, etc) before the tournament started for a variety of reasons and 2 of the starting 6 defencemen but significant depth has made the loss of those players barely noticeable.
Why were you so surprised at the Czech win over the Swedes? The Swedes have a couple of junior B calibre goaltenders so any team with skill will fill the net - which is exactly what happened. The big surprise to me was that the Swedes didn't show much spirit and the Czechs actually showed up and wanted to play which they clearly did not do in the early tournament games - Jagr saying something like he'd rather be on vacation I think. The main danger to Canada in the semi-final game will be if Jagr suddenly gets over his year long sulking over his split with his girlfriend -then there might be something to worry about.

Secondly, Kiprusoff has only proven that he can have one good season, or at least half of one. Remember that he was a third-string goalie in San Jose at the start of the season, and ended up playing only 38 games over the regular season with the Flamers. I won't take anything away from his performance, but I'd say that you have to string together two such seasons or more before being labelled an "elite" goaltender.
Hey, bottom line is that we can cheer for whoever we like, for whatever reasons we want. Personally, I'm hoping for the Czechs to win the tournament, but I realize that I'll be a tiny minority in most circles. I just prefer the style of hockey...
No matter who wins, I hope it is a good game...
