OK here it goes.
I want to get this out there right off the bat. Like Mudder, it's never been in my character to rub it in a loser's face when my team wins. I'll always tip my hat to the losing team if they put up a good performance.
Ryan Miller, goaltender of the American men's team, deserves a huge tip of the hat for allowing his team to at least be a competitive team. Simply put, Miller was outstanding. In the hockey world it is a common saying that "Show me a good goalie and I'll show you a good coach." In Miller's case it should be "Show me a good goalie and I'll show you a good team."
Now on to the Canadian men's team. Our guys played outstanding from the net out and once again we showed that we re still be best in the world. I'm not bragging here, but Canada is a powerhouse when it comes to hockey. The good thing for the entire sport is that the Yanks are finally getting it together, but sadly the future doesn't look as bright as it should look. The American hockey system started to graduate great players, but apparently they will be going through a dry spell in the next several years. To me, as a die hard hockey fan, this is sad because I really would love to see hockey become more popular in the U.S. I guess one thing we could do is get rid of Bettman who has failed in growing and marketing the game south of the border. I'll stop about Bettman because I am a happy dude right now and I don't want angry Pucky to come out and ruin my night.
To the Americans who follow hockey I congratulate you on a fine showing. You should be happy that Ryan Miller at least made it exciting for you guys. Like I said, he was outstanding.
Vegas Dave, you have an awesome young Canadian defenseman in Doughty. This kid is lights out phenomenal!!!
Blitty, Getzlaf is a monster. I wasn't at all impressed with Perry, but man you have a killer player in Getzlaf. HIller is also an outstanding goalie so you must be happy. Bobby Ryan is young, but I like this kid. Hopefully young American kids will look up to him and follow his lead. At least he's not an immature little cunt like Kane.
Amby, a penguins fan right? Crosby is just lights out phenomenal. I know I ranted on another forum about Crosby making other players around him better players and bitching that Ovechkin doesn't. Once again Ovechkin turtled when the going got tough and the Canadian attacked them like "gorillas coming out of a cage".
Hockey is a great sport. I hope some of you Yanks who have watched this game got into it. It was a great performance by Miller and overall the game was an exciting game to watch. NHL starts back up on Tuesday so let's all be happy and have fun for the rest of the regular season.
