LOL...man, this Canada team was crap from the get go. They looked good on paper but just didnt gel. The blame is squarely on them. But when people start bragging about other countries and shit talking Canada, a little perspective is needed. There's such thing as being a sore winner too. Plus the Swedes threw their game because they always lose to Canada

Neither the USA or Canada had it this time around, for whatever reason, unlike 2002. See what Modano had to say after the game though?

what are you talkin about I was supporting Canada?

Originally posted by Dj Smitty20 How many gold medals have Sweden won again? How many Canada/World Cups? How many World Juniors? Ok, just checking. The best players in the NHL are not European. For the most part, they are Canadian. Canadians make up 60% of the NHL. Why don't you take a look at the all time scoring leaders? And once the Europeans started coming into the NHL, all the clutching and grabbing and defensive hockey started. The high scoring, offense oriented hockey of the Canadian dominated 70s and 80s is but a memory. But whatever...I'm not that bitter. This Canadian team was shit but a large part of that was because the right guys weren't selected. See you in 2010. Go Finns.

well Sweden havnt won the Olympics in hockey since 94 , and think of this, the canadians have more licensed women players then we got men playing, we only have 9 million citiesens but still we are domination such is soo many sports....and DONT come here and talk about Canada/World Cups, thats just fucked up cup, made by the canadiens, for the canadiens and its played so the canadiens will win...

but thing is that you guys always think your the best, yeah your teames and players are always good but sometimes you really need to play your best to win

WOW

Canada lost, USA lost, and so did the Swiss.

The US, I was expecting they would lose, but never the Canadiens.

Was the win by Russia an upset?

Canadians saying that they are the best hockeyplayers are like white americans saying we are the best baseball players and basketball players.

Its not true anymore be glad in the fact that your sport has taken off so much that countries on different continents are on the same level.

Exactly.

You're just whining about the Canada and World Cups because you never came close to winning any. Nobody touched Canadian playeres in the 70s and 80s, except the Russians ONCE in 1981.

Two Canadians, one Czech, one Swede and one Russian to be exact on that top 5. Why don't you look at the top 30 or 50 instead and let's see how many Canadians are on there.

And as good as some Europeans are, for example, Dominik Hasek or Forsberg...how many cups have thhet won? One and Two respectively and Hasket had to be planted in an already amazing team in 02 to get his Cup and Forsberg is always hurt. How many has Naslund won? None. Don't get me wrong, these are all great players and I'd take them on the Montreal Canadiens for sure. Also Canadian goalies like Patrik Roy and Martin Brodeur nearly single handedly won 4 and 3 Cups for their teams. How many times has a European been voted as the Conn Smythe winner in the 25 years or so since Europeans started playing in the NHL? How many times the Hart Trophy? Not so many if you care to look it up.

now that's a bit of a stretch...come on now. Of course European countries are on the same level. But Canada is, and always will be (at least in the forseeable future), number 1. We have won the most Olympic medals (15 to USA's 12 and USSR/Russia's 10...tied with USSR in golds with 8). We dominated the Canada and World Cups which acted as the Olympics for showcasing the best players in the world in the 70s, 80s and 90s unitl 98. We have won one of three Olympic golds with NHL'ers participating. We've won two of the last three WHC, been in the final last four WJHC and won the last two. We kicked ass in the 2004 World Cup.

Canada is the Brazil of hockey. Swedes, for example, are in no position to be bitch talking Canada. The Russians and Czechs might be able to do that a bit.
