I'm shocked that the Laffs actually think that they have a chance at making the cup finals. The playoffs could be a hard enough tast.

I'm shocked the Canucks and Habs are thinking Finals when the second round will be a hard enough task.

I am shocked at the lack of discussion about the greatest semi-final shootout in WJHC history.

[Toe]

I'm all set for watching the gold medal game tomorrow.

The Leafs blew out the Bruins 10-2 after ending the first period down 2-1. Steen got his first NHL hat-trick, Stajan and Battaglia got two each, and a ton of other guys looked great. Raycroft made some big saves in the first to keep it to just two goals against.

Basha, making the playoffs is hard, but we should all know that all you have to do is make it. Even an 8th place team has a shot.

Man Montreal got trashed by the caps, 5-1. We just came up empty. When I heard that Toronto won 10-2 I thought severeal things, the first, Clawson is going to make me eat my words, the second, that the parade route will be planned and third that Sundin will have gotten me all sorts of points in my hockey pool. But he was almost a non-factor in the game(point wise).

US beats Sweden 2-1 for the WJHC bronze

4-2 Canada, nice to hear Toews drop an f-bomb in his post-game interview.

[The Sultan of Swank]

Yeah, I was suprised on that one. Can someone tell me why his name is pronounded like it has an a and a v in it?

[Guest Grapehead]

so he did say fucking? haha I thought I had a bit of crazy in my ear. Great game, happy to see the 3-peat.

[Clawson]

I wasn't fully paying attention to Toews interview. I'll have to go through the tape to hear it.

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

I have no idea why my roommate put on CBC Newsworld, but the host is talking about Canada's big win today over "the Soviets"

[The Sultan of Swank]

Gotta keem them pinko's in check.

[SeanDMan]

Yeah! Fuck the USSR! USA! USA! USA!

Also, hahaha the Habs suck. Pull Huet! Pull Huet!

[The Sultan of Swank]

Haha, yeah, they suck 6 points better than the Canucks. And if Huet's 0.01 higher GAA and League Leading 927 save percentage are reason to Pull Him, I guess Luongo is getting the axe before the deadline.

[NobBe Nobbs]

Haha, yeah, they suck 6 points better than the Canucks.

[The Sultan of Swank]

Be I'm not going to lie. I honestly don't know what you were trying to say in that post. I was thinking of making a comment like I don't know what you're trying to say from all the way down there in the Northeast, but I'm serious. I really haven't a fucking clue what the hell you just said.

[NobBe Nobbs]

Get rid of the 6 points and you have "Suck better", which you can lead on to mean Montreal sucks more than Vancouver. I've joined the attle against Montreal on the second front because I now count the Nucks among my second teams (they join Chicago, Pittsburgh, Washington, Minnesota and Columbus. Being a perennial underdog myself, I root for the crappier teams). Don't worry about it, my way of speaking confuses a lot of people.

[The Sultan of Swank]

Oh ok. I understand now. But no, while you can twist my words, for now(and I stress the for now part with 41 games to go), you cannot twist the stats and standings out of my favour.
