If only if the old school russian stars would play for their team...

I think you mean Finland? and it's Czech republic no Checks ;)

The Russian goalie blew chunks. The first goal was a iffy one, he was not screened nor blocked or the puck was not deflected. It just clear out went by him.

The 2nd goal seryret just banked it off the goalie for god sakes!

The 3rd goal carter scored from an awful angle!!!!


That does take the wind out of your sails.

All right Canada!!!

True, it's a fact that we are so fanatic about hockey because we suck in just about every other sport. Tennis. Soccer. Badminton. Baseball (expect for Larry Walker and Eric Gagne). Basketball (except Steve Nash - Even the once almighty Vince Carter forgot how to play once he came here). Polo. Long disance running. Yachting. Bowling. Darts. Skeet Shooting. Rugby. It goes on and on.

But hockey, fuhgedaboudit.

Whole tournament for Canada

41 Goals for 7 goals against.

crazy horse shit.

lol... :upsidedow

Canada fucking rule

I just hope you are kidding.....Tempa bay Lightning consist of 15 canadian players (all the best players...Lecavalier, St-Louis, Richard etc.), only 1 american player (Andre Roy) and 4 or 5 europeans.....think before you speak, dumbass...even though the team is based in USA, it's still 80% canadian players LOL

yeah, and the goaler is russian ;)

50 canada rules hockey

Thanks to Canada's bad ass "D"

goaler? You mean goalie hehe :)

Vinnie and St.Louis are in the process of becoming American, in fact they'll have their papers before you can say 'eliminated in 4'.

Before they came here they were 2nd rate players, we turned them into superstars!

You sir know nothing about hockey! :2 cents:

beat me too it...and they bearly beat Calgary that is made up of mostly canadians aswell

Idiot, they are not becoming Americans...Vinnie was a junior STAR before he came there not a 2nd rate player

no
i mean goaler

from some random hockey newsgroup

It's one of the oldest names for the goaltender position.... Been in use since the mid 1800's, according to most hockey historians I've read...

I have to believe that. I did not know of another word but "goaler" until
a few years ago when someone annoyed with my use of the word "goaler"
in the context of other sports finally corrected me. The word is even
used in Quebecois slang.

I've noticed people use the term goaler. What's the difference between
>goalie and goaler?

No difference. Obviously you haven't been reading this group lately. There
was a big controversy as to whether or not "goaler" is correct. It is.
