...congratulations to all you Canucks on your gold medal in men's stick-n-puck.
Goes to show...play shitty survival-hockey the whole tournament, then play for the gold against the hottest team and squeak out a win in OT.
That's pure Olympic guts, sports fans.
Did you not realise that you can be disingenuous in any section on the board?:whistling
Of course, but one may also be sincere, Robert.
I don't really understand ice hockey, but what's more important, winning medals or looking pretty...?
I watched some of the final actually, well just the overtime as it goes. What a waste of time. I didn't even see the puck go in the net, I had to wait for the replay to work out what happened.
A TV spectator sport, it aint. They should make the ice black and the puck fluorescent pink or something.
I've been saying that for years...Quote:

That and no hockey fan beyond those of the most casual level has any problem following the puck.
Also the outer hockey uniforms aren't the most appealing/best designed , the "pants " are frankly retarded , but it's hard to look chic encased in plastic,foam,leather and kelvar.

Lol, didn't know that. So are Canadians born with the ability to follow the puck?Quote:
