Canada is playing Slovakia tonight, it should be a good game.

I almost fell asleep in 2nd, as the game seemed to be over. Then 3rd period got a little more exciting than we needed...

Chemical Ollie, now you know how we feel like, except that in our case the opponent ties, and then leads and wins .

Canada vs Slovakia? Going to be a great game.. have to watch that one.

[Flubber]

Again, it doesn't matter a great deal who won except now the Czechs are even more certain not to get to play Germany in the quarters. But the fact that they are now playing well is the key. I think they could be a dangerous opponent .

Canada's rocking Slovakia 2-0 (both goals in the first five minutes of play.

Did you guys see Mario getting manhandled by 3 Slovaks? He held onto the puck despite that and made a beautiful pass off to his man at the point. No goal, but it was unbelievable stickhandling.

[Pekka]

Mario is overrated .

Canada wins 5-1, they played a good game. Both goltenders made some awesome saves at key moments. The Slovaks kind of dissapointed me, I thought they'd be better.

It doesnt' surprise me that they let 5 goals.. it surprises me their offensive was unable to score only 1.

Just noticed this thread. Just got to see the last period of the canada/slovak game. Canada will probably win the cup, they just have to much skill. Though I would like to see the US win they will have to up play level. Canada has the skill so I would say the other teams are gonna have to play harder if they want to win.

Well, I was a meeting and had to miss the Canada/Slovak game. I'm not too upset, though... Sounds like the Slovies didn't put up much of a faight.

That's quite disappointing, really... A solid, cohesive team with Demitra, Gaborik, and Chara shouldn't really be something we can just walk all over. It makes me sad when they don't even try.

Damn you emotionless Euros!

(Except the Finns!)

[Ben Kenobi]

Two down, but I'd rather have those wins in the games that count rather than the round-robins.

Still, nice to see Canada doing so well.

It is impossible to overrate Mario. His knees don't work, his back doesn't work and he's pushing 40.

He's still the best stickhandler in the ****ing world. Even when he only manages to put in 10 minutes in a game, it's 10 minutes of the most inspired hockey you'll ever watch. He's ****ing magic. It's like the puck is glued to his ****ing stick.

[KrazyHorse]

Plus he can apparently fight too.



Who the **** thought he'd be the enforcer?
