Dewar Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 With that Korean time difference, they can start the Canada games first every day, and we can watch before going to bed. Bars in Winnipeg will be open at 5 am on Sunday for the gold medal game. In related news, I will not stop drinking after visiting the Festival du Voyageur on Saturday night...

sabremike Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 OK. I'm still pissed that I have 10 games of what are now pure shit that I paid for. And the only good thing that came out of these Olympics was that Kevin Dineen (who along with Ron Francis was my hero growing up) was the coach of the Canadian women's team. Congrats to him!

Death From Above Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Peter Botte @PeterBotte 22hMichael Peca got hurt in the playoffs once. That's why the Islanders don't participate in them anymore. RT @ChrisBottaNHL: Tavares injury was awful. But Isles mgt was furious over Okposo not making USA. Now ripping IOC. Can't have it both ways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Woo...Botte/Botta doubleslam! I have no idea who either of those dudes are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 The Islanders beat writers are generally pretty fun, I guess partially because having to follow Charles Wang and Garth Snow around has likely driven them insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I was trying to think how mad I'd be if one of the Jets got hurt, then I remembered that Trouba and Schiefele didn't make it, so I'd probably be pretty cool with it. I'd glady sacrifice Olli Jokinen's knee (both of them! and other parts too!) to get Tavares back on the ice, if it makes Mike feel any better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Hemsky getting hurt at the Olympics would have been glorious because it means he wouldn't get traded again and the same people convinced he's horrible because they have bad opinions about hockey would start crying again.

Charlie M. Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 And Patrick Kane continues to disappoint Yeah but he probably put in a gold medal worthy performance in the athletes village so all is not lost for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Some in Sweden aren't even waiting to lose before they make excuses, Forsberg calling the game having Canadian referees (instead of those great, great KHL officials) a "fucking joke". I mean... if anyone would know about joke refereeing it should be Forsberg, since he spent as much time laying on the ice as actually playing some nights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right Canadian referees refereeing a Canada is definitely legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 If we can't use Canadian and American referees to do international tournaments because some other country might be butthurt, then maybe international hockey dying isn't such a bad idea after all. I mean, as long as we also don't use refs from Russia, Sweden, Finland, the Czech Republic, or Slovakia, I'm fine with it. Let some traffic cop from Germany do it.

Fat Spanish Waiter Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I mean that's one of way of seeing it. The other is "use refs from countries other than the two that are playing each other" like football does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I'd rather actually use good referees instead of creating a controversy where absolutely none exists except in the imagination of Peter Forsberg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Spanish Waiter Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Canadians reffing Canada games is something that would never happen in any other sport. Never. There must be some decent yanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Foppa's right, this is a joke. I can't believe you're trying to defend this DFA. It's not like they'd be inviting the women refs that officiated the women's gold medal game. There must be three referees from outside Canada who can call this game.
