fuck…better not speak too soon

WOW. great ending!

BRING IT TIME, CANADA.

Round 2, FIGHT!

Canada looks so damn weak. The US will most likely handle canada again.

cause they don’t play a full game. they come out dominate for a period and a half and then go to sleep. Slovakia only had two decent chances up until the 3rd period.

Wow Canada now has the most gold medals! Beast, but Canada is looking pretty exhausted as far as hockey is concerned. Sunday is gonna be hype. :wgrin:

they just got scared of the thought of the game tieing up. canada has a lot of pressure on them for playing home ice every game they play, being the inventors of hockey. the olympics…the countless fans.

Lame excuse!:tdown:

1996 USA ran over everyone in basketball by like 40+. Playing at home might I add.

This is going to be epic.

<3 Norcal, but you Americans are going to lose.

yeah the usa was the only team with nba players on it.

BULLL SHIT. BULL SHIT.

Yugoslavia had at least 5 guys on their team that has played in the NBA. (That me knowing off the top of my head. I dare you to ask me to name them too. Just do it! I DARE YOU TO! YOU JUST DON’T KNOW.)

Out of curiosity who were the 5

Okay I lied I didn’t remember off the top of my head beside Divac, and Predrag. :rolleyes: Of course there always wikipedia to bail me out… Apparently there was some other by the name of Dordevic and Rebraca. And there was a guy drafted by NBA teams by the name of Bodiroga.

Real Talk : I just remember the announcers saying 5. God how do I remember what commentators say in 1996? I don’t fucking no. :shake:

Fake Talk: WHAT NOW CANADA! Your doomsday is coming! SUNDAY!

Woot. Canada in first place in medal standings. (note: IOC rankings is by # golds, followed by # silvers, then #bronzes).

haha ok…you get what i’m saying though. Plus they had jordan back then didn’t they?

USA is gonna get sonned, Canada got this on lockdown.

You’re going to jinx your team.

Was thinking of going downtown, but it’s going apeshit there so I hear.

yeah seriously. I was talking to this girl today. and shes like yeah it’s a win but it would be boring, the games needs more excitment. I’m like…naw i’d rather it just play out 3-0. 2 minutes later it’s 3-2. fucking girls.

My main gripe isn’t the screen size so much, although that is a complaint, as much as it is the fact that, being microsoft IP, it locks any OS out that Microsoft doesn’t have a stake in from using it without problems (Moonlight still being in testing phase), such as anything UNIX style, save OSX. Plus it adds no real new functionality to the table that Flash doesn’t already have, just a way for Microsoft to get companies to lock out *NIX based systems without anyone knowing it.

I mean, I got Moonlight to work for what I needed it for last night, but usually…no good. And I missed all the Beijing Olympics because moonlight was still so unstable that it couldn’t be used yet.

Once HTML5 gets universal support and everyone can agree on a standard codec that will work on all platforms, both Flash and Silverlight will take the back of the bus.

Hopefully by the London Olympics, IMO.

so the last ditch shot by demitra… was actually a save, not a crossbar/post
sorry USA, but you are playing against a real goalie now, no floppy brodeur
