Brass Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Little disappointed that the USA couldn't pull out the win, however, it was quite the moral victory. The Canadians were heavily favored going into the tournament and easily had the talent and experience that the USA didn't. However, the team is still young and that will basically be the team again in another 4 and possibly 8 years. Only thing that bothered me, was that the USA players were getting extremely fancy and seemed more interesting in creating a highlight reel goal and appearing on the ESPN Top 10 (which they should know, #1 never goes to hockey, no matter what. It's reserved for a half-assed slamdunk), rather than winning the gold. Especially Erik Johnson's lovely spin move, which led to a Crosby powerplay. Thank god for that awesome back-checking by Patrick Kane. You'd also think that as a Bruins fan, I would have been familiar with Phil Kessel's "skate in on the boards, take a shot from a weird angle" play, but I forgot all about it. I'm also thinking that the Swiss are going to start being serious contenders in hockey. Time will tell.BTW, to answer Shanurr's question, I'm actually going to ask you the same thing. What's the medal count again? On 4/10/2017 at 3:05 PM, Rollins Man said: what the hell is ccslc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEW.ERA Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 After a crappy first week but Canada came out blazing most, Gold won in a single Winter Olympics.

Shane Does Art Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 BTW, to answer Shanurr's question, I'm actually going to ask you the same thing. What's the medal count again? I'm sure you saw the sig in question. Quite obvious I was talking about Canada.You guys can have all those bronze and silver medals. I'm much happier with the record for most Golds. Thanks.

IceCap Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 and 14 golds beats pretty much anything else.This. Hats off to the USA for dominating the overall medal count, really, it is something to be proud of. We have the most gold though, and considering our huge disadvantage in terms of population numbers I think we can claim victory. That and the fact that our 14 gold medals means we now hold the record for the most first place finishes then any other country in a single Winter Games. Quite an accomplishment for little old 34,000,000 Canada. Again, the US will be THE team to beat for years to come, you Yanks all have a lot to look forward to. This though, is our night, on our soil. Go Canada Go!

This though, is our night, on our soil. I'm not sure that the US will be THE team to beat. Sure 2014 is years off and the US team will be more experienced but Canada will have some turnover but the core of this Olympic's Canadien team is still pretty young. Crosby will only be 26 come Sochi.-Dan PotD May 11th, 2011looooooogodud: June 7th 2010 - July 5th 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Anyways, I'm very proud of my country and it was a time I'll never forget.Canada, you've done me proud. Same. These games were awesome for Canada, and every Canadian athlete, even the ones who didn't medal, have a lot to be proud of. You've all done our country proud. BTW, to answer Shanurr's question, I'm actually going to ask you the same thing. What's the medal count again? Shanurr's question was in response to vmd9's classless sig that was flaunted following the US victory over Canada in the group round. http://boards.sportslogos.net/index.php?app=forums&module=forums§ion=findpost&pid=1295569Given today's events, I think Shanurr's comment was justified. Plus, you know, 14 gold Again, the US will be THE team to beat for years to come, you Yanks all have a lot to look forward to. This though, is our night, on our soil. I'm not sure that the US will be THE team to beat. Sure 2014 is years off and the US team will be more experienced but Canada will have some turnover but the core of this Olympic's Canadien team is still pretty young. Crosby will only be 26 come Sochi.-DanTrue, in 2014 there will be enough turnover on the Canadian squad to keep them from turning into, say, the Fins (who relied on the same team they have for the past decade and got smoked by the Yanks), but the US will have more Olympic experience then Canada.
