The_Admiral Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Look, I hate having to be that guy, and I've been avoiding it for a while like I did with the Packer thread, but why should I care about this beyond how the Blackhawks' prospects are or aren't performing? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakwood Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Look, I hate having to be that guy, and I've been avoiding it for a while like I did with the Packer thread, but why should I care about this beyond how the Blackhawks' prospects are or aren't performing?Why even care about how your team's prospects play? It's not like a good performance in this tournament means they'll do anything in the NHL.At least in the USA you're expected to not care. In Canada if you don't care, you're looked down on by everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Doctor Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 Why? I think this is because the opposition goaltender Mrazek did this during the Czechs match against the US. Or they're just having lulz... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nash61 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Don't look now, but Canada's down 2-0 after 1 to Russia.

NEW.ERA Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Thankfully Colorado looks to be not the worst team in the league this year. I couldn't stomach a Nail Yakupov-Evgeny Kuznetsov-Alex Ovechkin line. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly97flyer Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I have to admit, between Mrazak getting his dose of karma yesterday and the Canadian fans getting theirs right now, this has been very enjoyable to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEW.ERA Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 What an effort. Falls short though.All good things have to come to an end, but man...what a finish... Strome hitting the post, with what 30 seconds left? Also what a ballsy move from the Russian coach to yank Vasilevski after the 5th goal, and putting it all on Makarov's shoulders. Paid off in the end, because I think they would have gotten a 6th on Vasilevski. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up to that point, he hadn't played a minute in the tourny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
