A question for my fellow Canadians...

Don't really care but now that I know Loubardias AND McGuire are doing it, I'll avoid it like the plague. God, I can't think of two worse guys to do a hockey game. It's like your worst fucking nightmare.

Oh, and for the Americans here, the Henderson goal was our JFK moment. Everyone over say, 40 years old remembers EXACTLY where they were when he scored.

And, just for old time's sakes, the ONE HUNDRED MILLIONTH TIME YOU'VE SEEN THIS GOAL.

 

Ask Tim Donaghy.

 

Mr Rollins,

What a coincidence. Al Strachan wrote that book while standing in Chapters one day.

YHS, etc

 

It's just too bad that the Anti-Christ screwed all of Team Canada's players out of their pensions.

 

Yeah. I probably should send him $19.95...

So, friend of the friendless...

Hoping for a brawl? You know, for the sequel?

 

Yeah, this series is pretty much pointless. I am finding it difficult to get pumped up for it. There is a bit f a rivalry still between the two hockey powers, but it is far too early in the season for it. This is just a money grab by the two countries and their TV outlets.

If they wanted to do this right it would be our best pros versus their best pros, for the ability to decide the IIHF Transfer agreement. If Russia wins then the NHL is forced to spend the big bucks to get Russian talent. If Canada wins then Russia has to sign on with the current version of the transfer agreement, just like every other Eurpoean hockey nation, and to quit bitching about it. That I would watch. Something would actually be on the line, and it would be a much truer version of a rematch for the 35th anniversary, which is a bogus anniversary to go all out on anyways.

 

Not that anyone cares but Canada won the first game 4-2

 

Thanks, pally.

Now let's see the goods... ;D

 

Simmer now ... I was 13 months old and know where I was. I don't have the actual memory but I do have the story from my dad ...

 

Post of the day.

 

Mr Rollins, My Fellow Canadians,

Count me in the number who believe this is a case of more being less. This cynical cash grab by Hockey Canada sorta muffles the u-20 buzz over the holidays. (As soon as I say that, somebody from Hockey Canada will be trying to sell a rinkboard to Speedy Muffler.) I think it will go over like a lead balloon. Super Series? 35th anniversary? Gawd. I'm all for trying to sell u-18s and u-17s as television properties--they're great tournaments and you should go to one if ever you get a chance--but making up events, bleccchh. Besides, everyone knows there's more at stake if Canada were playing the U.S.

YHS, etc

 

Haven't heard anything about ticket sales. You?
