Fuck off stribling. Cmon Canada.

Golden goal is probably better in ice skating than football as it's more end to end is that right or is it just as boring?

[gatso]

penalties please. I hate ice hockey except for pens which are cool

[Josedinho]

I'd like penalties too but obv prefer half of blonde on Canada to win asap

[Graham C]

Wooo, Canada win

[Josedinho]

I enjoyed overtime. They've been slagging that lad off all night

[Karabiner]

Never in doubt

It's amazing the Canadian mens hockey team are odds against to win gold with UK bookies.  North American sports books all have them -200 (1/2).   As close a comparison with football as I can think of is imagine Brazil had hosted the world cup in 1970's with that team they had then..there's no chance they'd start odds against.  Canada have the best team they've ever taken to an Olympics and are host nation which ought to be a positive despite the pressure.  They're also using an NHL sized rink instead of an International rink (which is much bigger) which suits their style of play. 

The Russians have an awesome team, so much fire power, but they have some weakness on their blue line and in goal.  The have shown some typical stubborn national pride with their squad selection and chosen players from their KHL league instead of proven NHLers - just to show everyone their league is as good, which of course it isn't.

Sweden are defending champs, but are old now, with almost the same team that won in Turin...they're leading players are two very scary looking ginger twins.  It's a frightful sight seeing them skate down the ice - a blurry ginger apparition if you will.

The USA are going through a transitional period and have taken a very young team to the Olympics this time around.  No miracle for this team, a place lay for me.

Very much looking forward to this tournament.  Hockey is my favourite sport.  I've had a chunky bet on Canada, obviously anything can happen, but there's no way they should be odds against so one has to have faith in ones judgment here and take the plunge in my humble opinion.  Slovakia are good dark horses for a bronze too.

I've said my piece, I'll bid you good day.  There's more of this crap on my blog incidentally.

Good post, mate.

I wasn't just slagging Crosby for being a choker, or preparing a blog entry about how he isn't a legend as he would have won the Gold for his team if he was.  I'd have looked a silly old c*nt doing something like that.

Thank you Canada...pfff odds against indeed.
