What are you talkin' smack for? All your players come south of the border to play in the U.S. except for a few sorry-ass canadian cities that can support hockey teams. So you bash the U.S. and then come play for our teams. The U.S. has not won in 3 decades, before Salt Lake City Canada had not won in 5 decades!!! Wait 'til 2014. Canada will not even medal. They can't play on the bigger ice surface. Look at their 2 golds, on North American ice. They got clobbered in the other Games.
I'm from Canada and after watching that game twice I can officially say that USA played a better game than Canada. Throughout the entire game the puck was mostly in the hands of the U.S players or in the Canadian zone. The reason they lost was because they made a couple of bad turnovers (especially the Toews goal) and Canada was beyond desperate to win, they literally could NOT lose. Also if USA's defense was as good as Canada's they could have won, I'm officially afraid of the 2014 US team...
To bad IIHF determines ice and rink sizes and qualifications not the country in which the games are held. So the same ice that Canada and USA out played every Euro team and Team Russia in the last Olympics will be the ice they skate again. Russia will under perform and be lucky to show off a bronze to their countryman and woman. Team USA may make a splash but look out for a Canada vs Sweden Gold Medal. My prediction USA over Russia for Bronze and Sweden upsetting Canada for Gold
Considering in the those 60 years we've sent a team of professional players a total of 4 times... winning gold 2 of those times i might add, while countries like Russia, Czechoslovakia, Sweden, Finland all sent professional players that they called "amateurs" to every single Olympic games. If Canada had sent NHLers to every winter olympics there would be a hell of a lot more gold in the Hockey Canada trophy case thats for sure.
The Soviets who played together for 10+ seasons beat a team of NHL all-stars that were thrown together for one game.. Im not surprised they won.. That would be like the Canadian national team playing together in the NHL and touring around against other national teams in the offseason. If they did that they would win 95% of the olympic golds that have been awarded
There is no way Canada will win it in 2014. They were be playing on the large ice surface. Forget about it. Canandians can't skate with the Russians or Europeans. Look at their 2 gold medals in 60 years; they were on North American ice. The other games they did not even medal. They have no chance in Russia. I highly doubt they will even walk away with bronze.
it will be really good once again my guess is uSA vs Canada 4 the gold and it depends on how canadas goltending is. Fleury is good but incosistent who knows if Marty will be there and Luongo is incosistent as well. are there any good canadians goalie that i forgot?
You might be right. But U.S. hockey has come a long way and we are right there with you guys, from juniors on up. Good luck in 2014. You won't win gold there. Because you will have to skate on the larger rink, which Canadians cannot do. The Russians will skate circles around you there.
Pretty sure in 2014 it will be played on international regulation sized ice. Only reason it was NHL sized ice in Vancouver is because the games were played where the Canucks play their games at and obviously they couldn't make the ice bigger.
>:) goalies :mike smith, fleury, luongo, crawford, mason, and the other mason. players: crosby, grioux, toews, sharp, doan, letand and exedra..... key word we dont need to watch out :)
usa is a great team and we Canadians can't kid ourselves that we'll dominate forever with a population our size, i say: watch out for the Chinese. but ya we'll win gold again in 2014
I wasn't sure how old Luongo was. Did Thomas even see ice time in the Olympics? As far as I can remember Miller played the whole time. The US will probably counter with Quick and Howard.
I just....Can we get a gold medal in hockey? That would kind of make my life. Actually, just no USA vs. Canada. Ever again. It's just hard to choose....
Yeah that's why the USA beat Canada at the 2010 Olympics and just beat them at the 2012 World Championships. They also just won their 4th straight U-18 tournament.
Shame that such a great city like Vancouver would riot the following year after the Olympics. Shame that such a great guy like Kane would beat up a cab driver.
A factor in the 50 year drought (not 60) was the IIHF. Canada's best players were in the NHL and were barred from participating, while the Soviet Union's professionals were permitted to play.
Correct me if I'm wrong but they did expand the ice to IIHF regulation size for the tournament. They do it for the WJC, most notably at HSBC arena in Buffalo where the Sabres play. It doesn't take much for them to expand the playing area in those arenas.
Ans they lost again in 2014

Well done Kane, including post gold-medal game in the vid. respectable

Love this video. Hope he does it again in Sochi. USA go kick some ass!!!

Nope they kept the ice surface the same to save money(would have cost $10 million CAD) and it allowed more people to attend the games.
i love him so much. too bad he didnt win but i really didnt want him too.
Team Canada and Blackhawks
which one was i gonna pick =P
@RollerHockey26 How does Miller not have it? He took the U.S. all the way in Vancouver when Thomas didn't touch the ice
@sabremania I would love to see Schneider play but he has a ways to go to knock Miller out of the starting spot ;)
lol did you wikipedia that? because I just did to verify and it said exactly that lol. I stand corrected.
I'm sure the U.S. will run Miller and Quick again. Are there any other U.S. goalies other than Howard?
holy fuck miller, are you trying to get your groove on for the women with that metal rod or something?
i think patrick kane single handedly took team usa all the way to the finals in this tournament.
suck it, guys :D
The 2014 gold belongs to Czech Republic :D no way we're backing on this one!
@schennsational88 no he didn't, he played in the us until he was 17
he played in canada for a year
they had a mcdonalds at the olympic village?!?!
O.O
woulda been beyond amazing to work there.
@yourmom1511 not a surprise seeing as how ralph lauren was in charge of usa's clothes :P
"what's it like to videotape each other and look like idiots"
haha oh ryan whitney
Salt Lake was played on International sized ice and not the NHL regulation size.
@codajit Hey, how were the riots when you guys couldn't beat Boston?
Miller, Quick and Howard will probably be the 3 goalies team USA carries.
i love how people call americans yanks... what is this the 1700s? haha
@tosveryown
I think his Mom was talking about the clothes were tight.
Who's going to be in net for Canada? Certainly not Broduer or Luongo.
they weren't as disappointed as youd think after the gold medal game
@Blackhawksfan1993 thats like a roller for ur muscles ..its styrofoam
That awkward moment when someone replies to your year old comment.
i love at the end canada won the gold medal;) the way it should be.
@TheHockeyCentral I think he means there's a lot of shit going on.
@letitiarox no Kane said "can't smile" and she said "I'm trying"
What are the chances that Kane is getting head at 0:51 ?
For being a millionaire, that's a shitty ass camera
gold medal game in 2014 will be canada vs russia
haha crosby scored i bet they were sooo pissed
