Congratulations USA!!!

[SBarrett39]

Way to go USA and Keith Tkachuk. 5 - 3 USA over Russia. Who's going to win it all?

[GRASSVALUE]

IT SHOULD BE CANADA AS THAT IS ONLY SPORT THEY CAN PLAY EH.

SUMMER OLYMPIC MEDALS USA 113 CANADA 12

[TDHarvey9]

Gee, this coming from the loser who can't even come up with an oringinal name.

I find it incredible that we can even keep pace with you guys, when you have so much more funding, so much more people, and SO MUCH MORE DRUGS AND STERIODS, then us,

Its incredible Canada does keep up in some International events.

I will take an honest Hard working 4th Place Canadian over a drugged up Cheating 1st place American any day.

[GrasValley]

lol, that's the way Harvs. Although most American athletes are clean and I root for them in the Summer Olympics, my loyalties lie with Team Canada in every international hockey tournament. If you even think the US has a chance to beat Canada, you have a major screw loose. Miracles only happen three times. The US used up theirs in the '60 games in Squaw Valley and the infamous Lake Placid games and the 96 World Cup. Coach Wilson himself sees Canada as the favorites. Grassvalue, WTF is with your username, and WTF do the Summer Olympics have to do the World Cup of Hockey? I know Harvey already covered this, but our nation does only have a little under 10X the population of Canada. I know it may be difficult for a brain such as yours, but if you do the math, Canada should have gotten about 1/10 the medals we got. By the way, we had 103 medals, not 113 jackass. I think Canada did pretty well given they do live in "The Great White North." That doesn't sound like much of a haven for summer sports to me. Not to mention the fact that the athletes in America had at least 10X the money to train and prepare with. Just out of curiosity, what does it feel like to have a negative IQ? I think you should stick to hanging out with Ed L Roy, then again, you probably are Ed L Roy. You remind me of a South Park episode where a guy received an award for being the biggest douche in the universe. It's about time he step aside though, there's a new douche in town. I'll make it simple for you just in case you didn't understand what I just said. Basically, you are the biggest douche in the universe. To answer you question SBarrett, Canada will win it all. Thank you for at least sounding intelligent Barrett, much unlike many of the unregistered assholes. I appreciate all of you good posters out there.

[TDHarvey9]

Unfortunately, our goverment doesn't support that athletes like Americans do, I wish we had a system like you guys, Thats one thing I really like about the US, you treat your atheltes the way they should be treated.

and Grasvalue, I'll see you in the 2006 Torino Games, Winter is where we shine. in 2002 the medals were 34-17, incase you can't do math thats 2-1... and we beat the US 15-13 in 1998. Not bad for a country with a tiny population.

I will take this time to mention to everybody (I know this is a hockey forum and not olympics but here it goes). The IOC (International Olympic Commette), are creating these Meseum/Attrations around the world, they are similar to a hall of fame, they have historical videos, event used equipment, games and entertainment, etc.. They are solely dedicated to the Olympic Games. Each will be over 50% directed to the native country. These will be poping up every where so look out for them, the prototype has already opened right here in Canada, Toronto to be specific. Its the very first, they expect to put these up in places like London, Paris, Moscow, and New York, very soon.

You how stingant the IOC is with using the Olympic brand on anything, so these should be good.

Here is the link to a site that follows the Olympic Games Bidding Process and is currently following the 2012 race.

[Roy Hinske]

d to be high on the Olympics but now it seems like a joke at times. There is a part of the coverage that covers who got caught cheating like there is no disgrace any more. If you're not going to win cheat and maybe it will slip through and you can win. What happened to the spirit of the games where wars were stopped so athletes could complete on a level field.

[Oxenhoper]

Final should be Canada V USA, which i think Canada will just edge.

[g.v.]

it will be usa and czechs and if canada is in finals they have toronto and refs on there sides and no team will take world cup out of canada.

[TDHarvey9]

I'll say Canada vs USA, the 1996 rematch. Canada should pull it out. It'll be a good match.

the refs on their side? thats gotta be the oldest excuse in the book. Canada has been dominating in almost every part of the game, only 3 goals against and a perfect penalty kill.

[Hab01]

So much for Canada vs USA. Canada vs Finland is likely.

[Unregistered]

and if canada plays finland like they did the czechs it will be all finland, and gretzky looks gay in press box as he will get credit for win but he did not even want #4 vinvent lecavalier and how can he not pick primeau.

[TDHarvey9]

are you done your pathetic attempts at bashing Canada? oh gee, you used the word 'gay'.

I happened to be at the Canada v Czech game live! and I'll tell you, the czechs came out hard, they played extremely well but in the end, canadian hard work paid off.

With respects to Finland, they don't have alot of depth, they have been double-shifting the top line alot, they can't handle that forever, or a whole game vs canada with their physical play. Plus, we'll have a healthy Marty Brodeur to counter Kipper, the tournaments best two goalies, the way it should be.

[Hab01]

I agree TD, the Czechs played very well. I seriously thought that they would win in the end. Fortunately, Lecavalier scored a goal from an almost impossible angle to send us to the finals.

[Unregistered]

Canada 4 Czech Republic 3, that had to be one of the best and most exciting games I've ever seen.

[ED L ROY]

TDHARVEY9 YOU HAD TOO MANY LABATT BLUES AT THAT GAME TO KNOW THAT CANADA WAS OUT PLAYED BAD, AND GO WATCH THE REPLAY AS 2 GOALS SCORED ON DUMP OUTS WHEN CZECHS WERE ALL OVER CANADA.

[Oxenhoper]

It was a great game Czechs out played Canada.
Being a european all i have to say is GO FINLAND.

[TDHarvey9]

hey Ed, tell me, WHEN THE HELL DID i SAY CANADA OUT WORKED THE CZECH'S. it sounds to me your the piece of sh*t drinking to much.

Yes they were out worked, yes the Czechs out played them, I even said that, before you go caps locking insults learn to read english. The Czechs out worked us, and out hustled us, but we didn't give up, we kept working kept digging, and that hard work paid off, NOWHERE DOES THAT SAY CANADA OUT WORKED THEM. I don't need insults Ed.

and put down the beer, isn't that your 9th?

[frenchie9]

you do not have tomake fun of us french canadiens because some of us can't read english! td9

[TDHarvey9]

excuse me???? when was I talking to you? didn't you notice Ed's name in that statement, I never once implyed anything hatful to french canadians.

I wasn't talking to you, and don't understand how you thought that I was???

[ED L ROY]

WELL HARVEY I AM FRENCH CANADIEN TOO, SO NOW WHAT?

[TDHarvey9]

congrats, so why is that relivant?

[Unregistered]

Canada wins. Enough said.

[GrasValley]

GOOOOOOO CANADA!!!

I'm going to state it plain and simple: Ed, you're a f*cking moron. Go do the world a favor and kill yourself. It'll make your family happier, it'll make most of us happier. I've heard people say that every family has a bad apple, you are undoubtedly your family's. And Ed, don't even pretend to be French Canadian. You told me you were a Nevada Union grad, that right there rules out any possibility of you being French Canadian. That would hint to the fact that there was any culture at Nevada Union. The one thing I've learned from you over the past few months is that you're 100% full of sh!t. You're a life-long Lightning fan for Games 1&2, Flames after 3, Lightning after 4, Flames again fan after Game 5, and then once more,, you're a life-long Lightning Fan after Games 6&7. If you're French Canadian, I'm King Louis XIV.

At know point did Harvey ever say anything derogitory towards you Québecois. But I can cover that for him. That's the problem with you French Canadians, you take everything as a direct attack against you and are therefore generally pissed off at the rest of the world. NEWS FLASH: You're not French! Do you even realize that France wants nothing to do with you? You're Canadian and should be damn proud of it! And if you can't read English, join the real world, where nearly every western civilization speaks English. And if you don't want to speak English, that's fine. don't bug those of us that do. I have nothing against any of you, in fact, generally I kind of like you, but stop horassing the rest of the world, because the rest of the world really doesn't care what you have to say.

You make a good point GrasValley. People who are from Canada are Canadian, not French. Even though I was born in Montreal, I consider myself Canadian, not French. Telling Ed to go kill himself is going a little too far. Yes he may be full of ****but you got a little carried away there. Is this the **** you always argue about? Who's French who's Canadian and who hates the Quebecers? I don't have anything against Canadians or Americans just so no one gets the wrong idea and Grasvalley, just at a curiosity, other than the Nevada Union thing, how can you tell Ed is not French Canadian or whatever you want to call it?

[TDHarvey9]

Hab, we know he isn't becuase he has made up stories like this before, (boy who cried wolf sindrome)

Ed was full of sh*t
Ed is full of sh*t
Ed will always be full of sh*t

Its unbelieveable how quick people will jump on you, oh and Frenchie, I want an explanation why you jumped on me like that, you know darn well I said nothing anti-french, I don't need crap like that. I also happen to know that you were the one posing as G.V. and pulled that bullsh*t line "the refs are on Canada's side"

so far, you have made 2 comments, and both were full of horse sh*t. Have you got anything relavent to say at all? or are you just gonna keep pulling crap like that out of your *ss.


Canada has won the World Cup of Hockey, going a perfect 6-0. We never trailed at any time. Canada have also won the 2003 and 2004 World's and the 2002 Olympics thats 4 straight major international Mens Hockey events. So if there is any question who the dominate Hockey power is, there isn't now. Canada all the way.

I can't wait for Torino 2006... odds are, It'll start before the next NHL season does!

[Hab01]

2 things TD


1)I didn't pose as GV
2)I'm not French Canadian. I'm Canadian. I was born in Montreal but the rest of my family is from Winnipeg. I never went back to Winnipeg.


Actually 3 things. 3)I never said that the refs were on Canada's side. I believe the refs were actually pretty good. Maybe GV said that but I didn't.

[g.v.]

tdharvey9 take your hard working clean hockey players back to canada and start your own nhl and us drugged up americans will start our own league with non canadiens. you have 4 nhl teams and what one ahl team well america does not need your hockey we have nfl and mlb and grass valley can move to canada too.
who cares about the torino games or nhl lock out as 80 bucks a game is too much. all your canadien nhl players with junior a
education can go back to the cow farms and our usa players with college education will be running our company's. so have fun watching bantam,midget and junior hockey this winter i will be going to ahl and college hockey games. and when canada has a terrorist attack do not come looking for usa for help.

[Hab01]

GV, the NHL has 6 teams in Canada not 4. Not all Canadians work on the farm. The reason why I moved to the US almost 10 years ago was so I didn't have to work on the farm. I still miss Canada. I grew up there. That's why I go back and forth between Montreal and Detroit. Thank god I have dual citizenship.

[GrasValley]

Like Harvey said, Ed is not French Canadian because he's made up crap like that before. As far as the telling Ed to kill himself thing, you can't take that too seriously. I don't mean for him to literally kill himself....although when I think about it, it really wouldn't have any effect on me if he did...... I was just expressing my contempt for Ed. As far as this g.v. moron goes, it's probably just Ed. He either uses multiple computers, or has a resetting i.p. adress that makes his i.p. different every time he turns his cpu on. So g.v/Ed, I plan on moving too Canada, as soon as I have the money to make the move, I'll be there. I don't mind leaving the tyrannical country behind, feel free to keep it. Hopefully I may one day have dual citizenship as well, then I can enjoy the good things left in America, but live hapilly in the Great White North. It's funny that you should jump on Canada about its education when you don't have a clue what you're talking about. As Hab01 pointed out, there are indeed 6 NHL teams in Canada. So Ed, go fvck yourself.

[Hab01]

Thank you for summing it up Gras Valley. This guy talks about Canadians when he doesn't even know how many NHL teams there are in Canada. There are well educated Canadians. It's not all farms. Toronto and Montreal are not farms. They are big cities. Now that I think about it, I'm glad I didn't go back to Winnipeg. Ed/GV, whatever your name is, if you want to make a statement make sure you have info to back it up.

[GrasValley]

To be honest papapuck, I'm not quite sure how I want to respond to your post. I believe it is our right to use whatever language we wish to when posting. I don't at all feel that it's right to censor any of our comments and I don't believe that cursing is any less intelligent than any other form of communication. I also don't think we should have to say anything that is necessarily nice either, but I do agree with the fact that it should be constructive. For months I've been trying to get people to post constructively. About 5 months ago, this site was full of interesting and constructive posts, but then many of these unregistered jerks (i.e. Ed L Roy) decided to try to stir things up a bit. In fact, there probably wouldn't even be any cursing if it weren't for Ed L Roy's nonsensicle comments. If you look at the beginning of all of the vulgarity on this site, it all began when Ed started flip-flopping during the playoffs. I want you to feel as though your grandson can view these forums, so if you can figure out a way to get these unregistered idiots to stop horassing the rest of us, this site will become less vulgar. If it doesn't happen, I'm sorry, but most of us live in free countries and have the right to say what we wish. My best suggestion (if this site doesn't clean up) is to find a different forum to browse. www.nhlhottopics.tk is a very friendly, very clean, and overall great site if you should get sick of the stuff that goes on here. Good luck, and thanks for being a GOOD and HONEST poster. (Good and Honest; just the opposite of Ed L Roy).

[Hab01]

Your right GrasValley, this nonsense didn't start until Ed came along. I haven't been on this site very long but when I first signed up, no one cursed or made any stupid comments(most of the time). I like this site. It's alot better than the espn boards. Papapuck, on this site, there is rarely vulgar language so you don't have to worry that much. The people are generally respectful until you meet people like Ed but in general, there are no problems.

[Unregistered]

How was the 1980 U.S. upset over the Soviets "infamous"?

"Miracles only happen three times. The US used up theirs in the '60 games in Squaw Valley and the infamous Lake Placid games and the 96 World Cup."

[GrasValley]

Good point, thank you. I just used the wrong term there. Take out the "in" from "infamous", that's what I meant to say.

[Hab01]

1980 was definitely the biggest upset. The Czechs had a 3-1 lead and blew it. That was a heartbreaker for the Soviets. It reminds me of how Canada lost to the US in '96. That and Patrick Roy going to the Avs were the two most disappointing moments in Canadian hockey.

[Unregistered]

Sorry, but Patrick Roy being traded to the Avs would only be one of the most disappointing things in Canadian hockey if you're a Habs fan. I do agree on your other one though.

[Hab01]

Roy going to Colorado was disappointing. I remember I was 13 years old and a friend told me what had happened. The Habs have never fully recovered from that. But I guess it was Roy's time to go. You can tell the Habs really ****** up when guys like Jocelyn Thibault and Jeff Hackett were in goal.

[Lidstrom8]

Bear in mind, Hab01 Roy was the one who forced the trade after the habs were elimiated from the playoffs although montreal could have gotten more talent in return for roy. Jocelyn Thibault was just one of many players of the long list who couldn't preform under the pressure of the montreal fans ( eg. Berezin, Audette, Czerkawski, Rucinsky ) Hopefully, Radek Bonk won't turn out to be the list's newest member.

[Hab01]

I hope Bonk doesn't choke either. He played very well in Ottawa. I think he's been around for about 10 years so his experience will help. Hopefully, he'll bring the Habs further into the playoffs.

[TDHarvey9]

Hab01, my apolgies, I got my IP's mixed up.

Ed I am just sick and tired of you, you never have and never will make any sense, and if you haven't noticed you are alone on anything you say.

Right on, Gras. I have been here awhile, and there has been alot of cursing used here(some by me) but its all related to Ed, or the odd moron like him. A nice clean site is what I'd like. Ed and all his altar-egos are ruining it for all of us. Its kinda funny actually Ed, your last post that is, you think your so smart, but your lack of knowledge of the sport you claim to know, is almost comical, it shows you really don't know what your talking about. There are 6 Canadian teams, and 4 AHL teams.

Anybody notice, that for as long as Ed/his alterego-s have been here, he doesn't have the sack to sign up? Ed, I will make this plain and simple, go to h*ll.

I remember watching that Detroit-Montreal game, the coach just left Patrick in net, that game got really ugly, real fast. If I remember correctly, the final score was 9-2.

I guess thats the negative to living in a hockey crased city, some talented players can't take the pressure. How many a talented player, have joined Montreal or Toronto or Detroit, etc. and failed to pan out the way they looked like they coulda.

[Hab01]

No problem TD. We are all fed up with Ed. The less he is around, the better. I thought there were more than 4 AHL teams but I don't follow minor-league hockey so I wouldn't know. I only know of 2 teams. I think it is Manitoba and Hamilton. I'm not 100% sure. To me, the minor leagues are just like baseball, boring. But that is only my opinion.

[TDHarvey9]

Ya, there are only four.

Edmonton Roadrunners
Hamilton Bulldogs
Manitoba Moose
St. John's Maple Leafs

From what I hear, the St. Johns franchise might be to Toronto. They are supposed to be moving into the Ricoh Coliseum, only built acouple of years ago, oringinally for the Toronto Roadrunners.

[ED L ROY]

6,4,2 WHO CARES HOW MANY TEAMS IN CANADA, OWNERS ARE NOT GOING TO GIVE INTO PLAYERS THIS YEAR SO FORGET ABOUT HOCKEY WITH OUT SALARY CAP AS NEXT SEASON OWNERS WILL START UP LEAGUE AND WHOEVER WANTS TO PLAY IN IT THEY WILL HAVE A 31 MILLION SALARY CAP.

GRASVALLEY AND TDHARVEY9 SWEAR ALL YOU WANT,ALL THE KIDS DON'T MIND.

[TDHarvey9]

bla, bla, bla, bla. whatever ed.

[ED L ROY]

WAH WAH WAH WAH WHATEVER TDHARVEY9

[GrasValley]

Wow, that's intelligent Ed. At least when Harv's did it, he had the precedence to do so. As the feeling seems mutual for all REGISTERED users on this site, nobody cares what you have to say. Hopefully hockeydb will return to the heated, but intelligent debating that used to occur here.

[ED L ROY]

BLA BLA BLA BLA WHATEVER GRASVALLEY

I don't care if he lives in Canada,California, or Timbucktu, he is not French Canadian. Just like I am not French Canadian. The country is called Canada not French Canada. You think I cut up your cousin? There are people who cut up your cousin more than I do. I don't "cut up" other people. You think we cut up your cousin? Look at some of his statements. If you're his cousin, where were you before when he was making stupid comments and getting "cut up" by the others?

[patrick roy]

i was busy getting my junior team started and do not follow posts until now.

[Hab01]

You're a good cousin. Your cousin is getting "cut up" and all you do is get your team ready. If anyone did that to my cousin or anyone in my family, I'd beat their ass.
