Surely you gotta be joking,please tell me you are joking,please sorry bud love the Finns..they play like we used to..lots of grit, talent, heart and dare i repeat myself 'no fear' [now you wouldn't catch me cheering for any of the other national teams]..without the prima donna attitude a lot of our guys display.. been around a lot of players during tournaments[guys and girls] there are none better then the Finns  ....been turned off by the Canadian attitude of if its not Gold we didn't win..  yeah i know start packing |

Roots, you're always welcome here.  And as the countdown goes... *sigh*... 29 days, 0 hours, 35 minutes, 22 seconds 'til the moment puck hits the ice in Hartwall Arena, Helsinki and it's begun... this will be one loooong month. Good thing the Olympics are there. A good snack to ease the pain. |

you don't think Canada still plays with no fear,heart,talent and grit? Whadda mean? I bet the fans and teams from other countries would disagree with that big time.Did'nt we grit it out and take out the Fins in this years world championships,absolutely took over the game and dominated them when it meant the most.And we were all over tham at Salt Lake,the score was 2-1 but could have easily been 6 or 7 to 1.Hurme was outstanding and kept them in that game big time.And don't we still beat Finland the majority of times at all levels? I don't understand what you mean,no-hockey player has more heart than a Canadian player.Not liking players you have met personally has nothing to do with their heart,talent, and grit on the ice,it just means you met Canadian players in public with huge egos.As much as i don't like that as you do it has no bearing on the intangibles mentioned by you.We still have them more than anyone,our results don't just show that they prove it.Oh well

agree to disagree ;D 'And we were all over tham at Salt Lake,the score was 2-1 but could have easily been 6 or 7 to 1.' ..  but it wasn't 6 or 7 to 1..it was 2-1 'it was a battle. they never quit. they play a style where they just keep coming at you' Joe Sakic ?who won in Nagano?  Canada beating Finland really has no bearing on who i choose to cheer on..Canada wins yes not always clearly or cleanly..my opinion the USA won gold in the womens this year... its a matter of who's style i like more rather than who wins most..i don't feel confined to cheer by nationality...and don't see why its an issue...cheers  |

Have to say that Canada played with no grit or passion in the first week of the Worlds this year. When we left on the middle Saturday, everyone in my party of 6 said the same, that Canada were getting knocked out in the next round. They were truly awful in the games we watched...

It's not an issue to me if you like their style of play more roots but it's hard to say they have no heart,grit,or talent when they win as much as they do is'nt it? And Graham,they may have been awful the first week(i agree) but they did win the gold medal did'nt they?first week in tournaments means next to nothing as i'm sure you are well aware.I'm assuming you and your friends did'nt think they were so awful when they were hoisting the trophy over their heads and putting those gold medals on their necks at the end did you?If only Great Britain could be so awful in international hockey eh!!
