is this the gold medal game?
a canada loss would not have done anything just that they would play russia in the quarterfinals.

A canada loss wouldn't have done anything? Oh okay. But then....

except that russia will have to beat norway (should be asy) then finland to reach the semis

for russia to say be i the gold medal game

they have to beat norway, finland, sweeden and then canada or usa

russia fd up royally

I'm not the only one who sees how over emotional you get.

Playing ANY opponents in such a short tournament is definitely a plus. it gives the players(and coaches) time to work with each other and figure out what works and what doesn't
that is why there have been so many lineup changes already in only three games. they are trying to see what works best.
having extra games allows them to figure that stuff out.


how the fukk can you be so blind??

no momentum?
no groove?

have you even watched these games?

playing a tougher schedule is better, canada had the weakest group out of any team out there and they struggled to score in 2/3 of the games.

a canada loss would still give them two days off, they would just have to face russia instead of say latvia/swiss

swiss has canadas number anyways took a shootout last time to beat them on canadian soil

the ice size is the same everywhere. Like I said teh reason teams play this trap, all men back etc. no man forward is teh same reason what chelsea did when they played barcelona, barcelona had more talent, chelsea just kept everyone back the majority of the time.

Teams can't play like sweden, canada, like a free flowing game they'd get killed. This is the only way you can keep the game close. Look even at finland, frigging jussi jokinen a 3rd/4th liner on pitt was on teh first line, olli jokinen was getting prime minutes.

Sweden, Canada, Russia etc have all had similar success on offence thus far.

Teams aren't scoring that much outside a few games against the lower tiered teams

why is it better to play the tougher teams right away when you don't even have your lineups figured out yet??

I bet even the other teams would prefer an extra game vs a lower opponent to prepare.


but I forgot......you know everything and have all the answers

and the swiss just played sweden to a 1-0 game

the swiss are a good solid team.

my point isn't that the Swiss has had Canada's number, but that they are actually just a solid team all around.

they are a mid tier team like the Czechs and Slovakia, a notch below finland but ahead of teams like Norway, Slovenia, Austria

A Canada win in regulation would of got them the #1spot Sweden got. Meaning they face Slovenia/Austria instead of Switzerland. But keep making excuses for cheering for Finland.

US with a bronze in the 2 man bobsled, first medal for us in that event since the 50s.

I was watching and man them Russians drove the shyt outta that bobsled. Everyone else was bumping the walls but their runs were super clean.

compare a country of 30 mill to 300mill brehs

 

[NERO]

compare a country of 30 mill to 300mill brehs

That is some nonsense, explain china with its 1.5 billion they should win everything if it is about population pool.


Explain the chinese and indians, breh. In the summer Olympics we do 10 to1 against Canada at least. In the winter Olympics which in the US includes activities that only rich, white people participate in, we still clean up in total medals even though we usually don't win the most golds. The nations that clean up in these winter events have much of their sports culture dedicated to these activities and have a long legacy of success in them. German, Swiss bobsled. Canadian hockey, Austrian Alpine, Dutch speed skating etc.. The Norwegians have an event NAMED after them and usually dominate in all variations of it. The US in spite of the strange weather of late is not a winter nation but we still remain competitive in most of the "activities" and we dominate in the summer games. So I will re-iterate.


Our Cacs better than your Cacs heh.
