For The Right To Tangle With Electric Uncle Sam

I'll be honest, I'd rather the US play Slovakia. Though they're hardly pushovers and have a goalie as hot as Ryan Miller in Jaro Halak, they're still an easier test. I'll be honest, I'm sick of Canada's "Own The Opium" or whatever it's called. I'll be honest, I want to see Roberto Luongo cry again. I love watching Joe Thornton spit it on the big occasion. I'm tired of their sense of entitlement. I'm weary of the buzz they got from playing a team that didn't bother with defense. I want Zdeno Chara to put Rick Nash into Whistler, and if TJ Oshie can do it twice in a week, it can't be that hard. I'm tired of Sidney Crosby's lips. I want MIke Milbury to gloat over Don Cherry for the next month in Hockey Night In Canada (it's all he's good for). I don't want to see the Canadians again with something prove. I want to see what Kane will do in the Chicago dressing room if he's the only one with a gold medal.
But sadly, I don't think I'll get any of this. I've tried to figure out how Slovakia can do this. But anything short of a bonkers performance from Halak and Hossa and Gaborik using their "shinning", I don't see it.
Put your face in and blow.

I'll be honest
Yes, I do think we’d have a much, much easier time with Slovakia then Canada. But, still, I’d rather see us play Canada for the gold for a couple of reasons. First, it would be a greater test for the team. Most everyone on the team now is younger, and, if Bettman isn’t his normal giant douchey self, then we will still get to see NHL’ers in the Olympics in 2014. Using a game against Canada would be a great measuring stick to see if we’ve arrived, or how far we have to go. Second, they took the gold from us in Salt Lake. There has been a lot made of Canada wanting badly to win on home soil, and how they’ve been expected to win the entire time. I think it’d be hilarious to kick their ass and steal the gold in their house. Plus, imagine the shit talking that Kane would do to Toews all the time if he were to get gold and Cap’n Serious didn’t.
He's the one they call Dr. Karpotsev...
That test stuff is all well and good
but this is it. This is the Gold Medal game. This is the ultimate stage. There is nothing more important. You can say that we had the easier path to the game. You can say it’ll be a good test for 2014. You can say all of that. And I will say, STFU.
For the next four years, the only thing anyone will remember is who was on top of the podium, not who they beat to get there, not whether or not that team can repeat, or if the silver medal team can do better. Olympic hockey is like the World Cup: it’s a four year cycle that doesn’t start until your team is eliminated from the tournament. This year is 2010. 2010 is the only year that matters this year.
At 6 pm on Sunday, the only thing anyone will care about is what atomic number the disc of strangely warped metal hanging around the US boys’ neck has. If it is 79, then who the fuck cares who they came through to get it? And if it isn’t 79, and Canada is wearing those instead, then I guess the Americans didn’t prove themselves for 2014.
All right, come on, dummy, you won the game. Come on. Pick up your trophy.
For the next four years, the only thing anyone will remember is who was on top of the podium, not who they beat to get there,
Don’t worry, there’ll always be people who’ll say, “But didn’t this happen?”

What I was saying
The test IS the gold medal game. We need to beat Canada and we need to beat them badly. If we don’t though, we at least have a good core for the next games and we know what we have to work on, and for sure we have motivation.
He's the one they call Dr. Karpotsev...
We ALREADY beat Canada
and beat them badly! We don’t need to prove ANYTHING to them, especially that we’re “worthy” of the gold in their eyes. We’ve already passed the “test” you speak of with an A+, why take it again?
What is this, best out of 3?
No, lemme try again, best out of 5
Fuck, best out of 7
Shit fuck, best out of 13…
I used to play that game with an alligator-armed ex-roommate of mine. It wouldn’t matter how many times we beat Canada because they’ll come up with another excuse every time.

I'm sure you would agree though...
The Canada we’re (potentially) facing Sunday for the gold is a different team altogether than the team we played the other night. I relish that we beat them for the first time in a VERY long time, but you could tell they seemed a little disinterested, plus all the Timbits were finally getting to Broudeur. Now Canada has some piss and vinegar, and they want blood if they face us. Now it’s time to really prove what kind of team we are and kick their asses.
He's the one they call Dr. Karpotsev...
not against the US
there is no way that happens for Canada

The Canadians were disinterested against us. We played with fire.

I think you’re insane to think we played with any disinterest. It’s the Olympics. We were playing a team we knew to be one of the best in the tournament and winning would have meant a bye and avoiding a MUCH harder road. I can’t tell if you’re just baiting me here but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.

DUDE!
I’m totally not battling you at all. Read my stuff again, sorry if it wasn’t clear, but I was saying the Canadians seemed disinterested against us. We came out like we wanted to win that game, outworked and outhustled them, and did win because of that.
He's the one they call Dr. Karpotsev...
The Canadian are who we thought they were!
I know what you’re trying to say, but look, they had as much to prove as us – and lost. How many times do we have to beat them to “prove” ourselves?

Once
We have to beat them once. If we beat them twice, all the better, but the important thing now is to get hang a 79 around Kane’s neck, and leave that sucky-ass 47 for Toews and Marlboro 72.
All right, come on, dummy, you won the game. Come on. Pick up your trophy.
Would you agree?
Just as in the Cup playoffs, the medal round is a different time entirely. Not withstanding the fact of wanting the gold on home soil, they want revenge for that last game. By winning, we seemed to have awoken the sleeping beast. Plus, due to the schedule not allowing for any real practice time before the games started, there wasn’t really time for anything to jell. Now that they’ve had some time, and have even more motivation then before, it’s a completely different ballgame. Not only that, but last time it was simply for a bye into the second round. This time there are no more games, and it’s winner takes all.
He's the one they call Dr. Karpotsev...
There was no guaranty when they played the first time
that these two teams would meet again in these Olympics. It seemed pretty obvious that both teams laid it out on the line in their first meeting because of this. It was a great game, one of the best Olympic games I’ve ever witnessed. I just don’t see any reason to give a loser a second chance. The Olympics is all about “you’ve got one shot, make it count.” Canada didn’t. My world and my ego will be fine with beating a “lesser” team in the finals.
No offense, but I think we’re all exhausted by this topic.

So we're clear
To avoid further confusion, I will try to be clearer, and use both teams’ names. From all the hype, it was going to be a good game, but it always seemed like Canada was supposed to beat the US. The whole game, the US worked their ass off like a hooker at a monastery. Canada didn’t take the US lightly at all, but seemed a little shellshocked by the score, and the fact that the US had an answer for them immediately after they scored to catch up. The US always seemed to have that second gear, while the Canadians seemed stuck in first.

I don’t think the Canadians were disinterested. They seemed surprised, and after that, they’ve had a couple games trying to prove that they were disinterested, but no one’s buying what they’re selling. The US beat the Canucks fair and square.
All right, come on, dummy, you won the game. Come on. Pick up your trophy.
Really? I truly don’t think we were surprised—the team, I mean … the nation, the ones who don’t watch hockey closely, were surprised. I think the team knew exactly what they were getting into from the puck drop.
www.mjt.org
Well, we were surprised. Not the players so much, as the fans. At least I was. I’d been steeling myself to go into work on Monday and face a barrage of good-natured ribbing, but instead I got to post a picture of Chris Drury skating away exuberantly pounding his fist with the caption “Canada dominé par les États-Unis”
All right, come on, dummy, you won the game. Come on. Pick up your trophy.
Drury. Prick. And if one good thing at all comes out of this Olympics it will be that I never had to root for Kesler.
I wasn’t surprised because, honestly, it was the exact same set up as the junior game this year. Tough, hard forechecking and strong goaltending up against the skilled favourites. As long as we’re talking a comparable high level of competence, I’ll take the closer knit team in hockey every time, and when that happens also to be the team that feels it has more to prove … watch out.
www.mjt.org
I’ll actually disagree with you on this one. Honestly, there’s not a single friend I have—and most all of them watch hockey—that feel the US isn’t entirely deserving of the wins they’ve had, and it would be likewise if they got the gold. There’s always a bit of excuse-making when you lose, no matter the country or team. But the excuse in this case wouldn’t be that we’d played down to the competition.
But we’re not even playing for gold yet.
www.mjt.org
I guess that was my point
regardless of who it was, there would always be SOME kind of excuse for the majority of fans. Our goalie was off, someone was hurt, they picked the wrong players for the team, etc. Not a jab at Canada. Actually, I’m wearing my Canada jersey right now…
…but only because I’m a Cubs and Hawks fan and I’ve seen the past results of routing for a team

I’m not sure I’d have to buy an advance ticket anyway. I’m not sure how the crowds are there. Chicago Wolves games are getting really packed compared to earlier in the season, which is nice to see.
I’d guess people would have to leave around 4 for the drive and to be there for pre-game stuff? I think it’s less than 2 hrs to get there.

It's probably about 90 minutes
from where I’m at. I may go down there in the early afternoon though since I really don’t have much to do and haven’t poked around Rockford in awhile. Besides I think there’s some peewee games at the Metrocentre that ticket holders can get in for free around 2 or so.

Yeah, Rockford’s obviously the kind of place I’d love to see sometime to take photos of, for anyone that knows my Flickr page. By the time they get Amtrak running to there again the Hawks will probably be affiliated with a different team…

Amtrak doesn't stop in Rockford?
I’m surprised by that. Downtown Belvidere is also has an interesting (read: old) small town downtown IIRC. If you decide to go give me a shout – I have to get up at the crack of dawn to go to the DMV so I’ll probably end up driving up there lunchtime-ish.
"FACEOFF!" "Makes the pass." "FIGHT!" - 8 bit hockey
Amtrak used to have a line from Chicago through Rockford and to Quad Cities or Dubuque but it got cut years ago, and they’re trying to bring it back. Although it’d probably only go through once a day like Greyhound does…

I thought he was going to be DQ’d. But the really offensive shit was the way the Canadian coaches acted like they won the lottery. I’m starting to find it easier to root against Canada
The way the dude threw his whole body out was BS
Even on skates, even at high speed, there is no way an experienced skater falls like that.

Anytime they get their hand on the hip of the guy in front of them
when they’re in the turn it’s a recipe for a DQ. It’s the equivalent of getting into the left rear quarter panel of a car in a NASCAR corner.
the way their bodies are torqued around for corners
it don’t suppose it takes much to generate a dramatic crash – sort of like the slew foot in hockey

All right, come on, dummy, you won the game. Come on. Pick up your trophy.
i still don't care...
even though i think the Canadians have been super arrogant over this whole "hockey is OUR sport. and what not… they still won “their” sport, on THEIR ice, i’m completly ok with it.

you may not care, but do you understand why the IOC, an organization which continually goes out of its way to maintain the integrity of the Games, cares?
All right, come on, dummy, you won the game. Come on. Pick up your trophy.
Integrity like not allowing the jersey logos that the countries have been using forever simply because they were copyrighted and made money for their programs?

i’m not familiar with that
All right, come on, dummy, you won the game. Come on. Pick up your trophy.
The reason why the US and Canada have different logos on their jerseys than the normal ones are because of an IOC ruling. There is apparently a statute or whatever that says you cannot use a copyrighted logo on team gear. For all the past Games, they made an exception and let both teams use the logo they’ve been using forever. This year, they had a particularly pointy stick up their ass and said no more.

my point is theoretically the games are about sportsmanship (and yes, i know that is ideallistic)

Depending on the province, the drinking age is 18, although I believe in BC it’s 19.

Well, it is “our” sport. We invented it, it’s part of our entire national identity. In the same sense that baseball is yours. I don’t think that’s arrogant.
www.mjt.org
It is arrogant
It’s perfectly understandable and your comparison is appropriate, but it’s still obnoxious and tiring.
Fair enough I guess. But I actually love how a sport becomes so much a part of an identity, I guess I don’t like to think it as arrogant. I’m hoping Ken Burns comes up here and does a documentary about hockey like he did for baseball. That doc is amazing.
www.mjt.org
I liked Babcock's quote on this issue
I’m paraphrasing here but he said something to the effect of “we think of hockey as our game. Of course it’s not, it’s the world’s game now, but I’m a redneck and I still like to think it’s ours.”
I can respect that.
They won the gold
They should be allowed to celebrate how they want to, not withstanding they waited till the arena was mostly cleared out. If they wanna smoke and drink, so be it.

I didn't even notice
if the male Sidney Crosby played.
Competitive violence, that's why you're here!
You're joking, right?
He had some pretty great moments, although nothing came of them. Which, I guess, makes him Thornton 2.0?
All right, come on, dummy, you won the game. Come on. Pick up your trophy.
Yes I was joking
and yes he is Thornton 2.0 Actually I don’t recall him being all that spectacular against Russia either. That might be because I was blinded by Toews brilliance that night.
Competitive violence, that's why you're here!
i don’t remember him playing against Scum, either, but that might be because i have a man-crush on Malkin.
All right, come on, dummy, you won the game. Come on. Pick up your trophy.
Malkin has a really odd look on his face whenever you get the view on the bench
it unnerves me a bit
Is that the one who looks like...
The male Judy Garland?
"My Father's name is Jack, and my mother's name is Daniels..."
Interesting parallel structure to MSNBC headlines
Canada holds off Slovakia, will play for hockey gold
U.S. crushes Finland, will play for hockey gold
This is fun
However, with Canada and US in the finals, looks like no Kane, Keith, Toews, or Seabs on Tuesday vs. the Isles.

we don't have 6 spare players to put in their place
OK – 5, Kopecky is expendable, he could be run into the ground without harm to the future.
But do you really want to see Kopecky putting up big TOI?
Yes
Play Kopecky the full 60 minutes. Not only would that provide a full game of WTF, but maybe he’d just quit?

who cares if we put 82 in the rafters? it’s not like anyone else is going to want to wear that number.
All right, come on, dummy, you won the game. Come on. Pick up your trophy.
if the guy died on the ice, you know, that earns him a couple points of respect
All right, come on, dummy, you won the game. Come on. Pick up your trophy.
a couple of points of respect would still leave Kopecky in deficeit mode
he’d have to die doing something glorious that sealed the Stanley Cup victory to get to positive territory
Yes
Hang it at the other end… you know, with the Bull shit.
"My Father's name is Jack, and my mother's name is Daniels..."
Probably not
And actually neither would the guys on the ice. They’d keep trying to pass Kopecky’s corpse the puck, his corpse would keep missing it, and everyone would assume all was status quo.

I do actually have the opportunity to, if I wanted, but can’t be bothered. Plus, I don’t think hockey will be that easy to come by over there. Dallas is a couple of hours away, and it’s Dallas.
