The Olympics don't mean much - in hockey it's all about the Stanley Cup

doubt you would say that if you had won mate

Bull-dinky. You would be celebrating it the hills if you won it man. Stanly cup vs. Gold medal aside, that was America vs. Canada, you cant try to tell me that was anything other than national pride on the line. Canada won,(being English i've had plenty of practice in the next statement,

) so go sit in the corner, with a beer and ambit the better team won. But most importantly sssshhhhhhh

Also, if the Gold Medal means fuck all, then why man do the Americans still celebrate the Miracle on Ice? Why was it chosen in 2008 as the number one story of Ice Hockey. I know theres circumstances i.e the amautuer US team. But, if the Gold Medal didn't mean anything compared to the Stanly cup, surely they would of picked a Stanly cup moment?

C'mon man, you cant tell me it means nothing. The nature of international sports is sometimes you loose. Ask the Scottish members on the forum

Save some hope for the World Cup, you could be telling me to go in the corner with a beer and sssshhhhh if your boys whoop ours in South Africa. Which i would do, no arguing the World Cup is less important than the Euro or Champions League. I would go to that well worn bit of wooden bench in the corner of my local pub, sit my arse down and again ambit that the English were beaten by a better team.

Good on 'ya Canada, well played. Thanks to the US for not rolling over and making it interesting. But still, the better team won.

Well, since you seem intent on picking a fight (again), I'll entertain you. "Miracle on Ice", was completely different. NHL players weren't used by the US team whereas the Russians used blood-doping professionals so it was a big difference. Can't really compare that period in time to the present as practically every player in the game currently plays in the NHL. Sure, I would have been happy had the US won, but not like Canadians - it's their national sport whereas in this country hockey is fourth in line after baseball, football, and basketball. So it certainly wouldn't be celebrating whatever "it the hills" means. Obviously you aren't a hockey fan or know that much about hockey if you think the Olympics means more to a hockey player than the Stanley Cup.

And seriously, I could care less about soccer. I rank that right up there with tennis and golf (and curling for that matter).

No need to call me mate. It too closely resembles the act of mating and I don't mate with men. Maybe it's different in the UK?

Mate, rhymes with Bait, and I think Niall got ya hook line and sinker

DazedandConfusedinOR · Mon 1st Mar 2010 12:53 pm

Oh, ok. Now I understand what you mean. You guys use your little worms as bait and dangle it out there and I hope for a nibble. I see where you're coming from now.

No, i want to fornicate with you.

That's all the British do, call other blokes mate, and then fuck them.

Dont call me mate, im not your fucking mate....

Obviously you aren't a hockey fan or know that much about hockey if you think the Olympics means more to a hockey player than the Stanley Cup

Obviously you're a proffessional player or know alot of proffessinal players who have ok'ed you to speak on their behalf? Or it's bull-dinky?

Dude, no need to stress, remember the UK vs. USA thread, where a couple of 'mericans brought up the valid point that if you loose ( by not showing up in that case ) then you're subject to ripping. So, two options really? Beer + corner + sssshhhhh or Vaseline and an angry/excited/gloating Canadian hockey fan? Or there is third option, take the ripping, as a joke, and just accept you lost without bitching over it?

This is international competition, you play, you win or loose, if you loose you take the abuse. Part of supporting your team man.

Don't take it to heart.....

It's all in the nature of competition, roll on World Cup. There could be some ripping then as well.......

Twichaldinho, wasn't meant as a rymhe, but i'm glad someone identified it as a joke/ripping. Not my Yankist views combined with a passion for a good internet throw down....

Honsetly man, it's a joke. Should read my posts, including the above one with the image of a man with his tongue firmly in his cheek.

Example, england lost to ireland at rugby saturday ( rugby being the only sport that is worth a thought!) I have woken up this morning to the Irish Rover being played and a massive Ireland flag on my roof and in my car irish stuffed toys of leprachorns everywhere. Thanks from my Girlfriend and her Irish contigent that came over and watched the match.

Congrats to the Canadians on the gold. I'm sure it would of been a big let down to lose the big game in your national sport to an inferior US team. It would be a bit like if football was an olympic sport and Canada came and beat the US team for the gold. Oh, and congrats to America on their record 37 medals.

Man, i was in a pub in the Lakes which had about 20/25 locals in. I had brought with me 17 Irish, sounded more like 40. When that final try went over for you guys, they went fucking mental. I thought the Barmen might get annoyed, but apparently he took more behind the bar that night than he does most weekends in the off season.

You Irish are jammy gits, it put's us in a shit situation. Beat the French and continue our countries proud anti-French history

and put you Irish on for the win. Or, loose, and the French beat us and suffer national pride dented, but the Irish cant win.

Loose loose situation.

It's gonna have to be the lesser of two evils then "JUST BEAT THE FRENCH" and celebrate with us

I just want to clear up one point.....Hockey is NOT the national sport of Canada, lacrosse is our national sport. We sure do love our hockey though.
