Don't buy it. My philosophy is if you won a title who the hell cares? I mean if it was a semi final win then I'd see a win marred by a poor performance and how it relates to their prospects in the final. Once you've won a title nothing else matters. People can tear down the title all they want but you are the champ they can't take it away from you. Plus in this instance This particular team Canada will never have to defend their gold. They will forever be recognized as the champs. Do you think people will remember alabamas performance in 30 years or even who they played? Only the hardcore will.
yeah, whatever, they still beat us at everything else. [expletive] em. now when and where are the summer games and can we please [expletive] win the most gold medals at that one? [expletive] [expletive] [expletive] China's probably taking over the Summer games for the foreseeable future. They're pathological about it. Maybe. The games won't be held in China for the forseeable future either. yeah, china won't be there, it will probably be the americans winning the most medals again, but the british coming out of nowhere to win more golds than anyone. yeah or maybe Iran or something.
Bobsled? yeah, whatever, they still beat us at everything else. [expletive] em. now when and where are the summer games and can we please [expletive] win the most gold medals at that one? [expletive] [expletive] [expletive] Didn't we win 9 golds? Did Canada not participate in those 9 events?
Yeah after seeing the replay, it was a slow shot that Miller decided to redirect behind him instead of falling on it, which I thought was weird because there were 2 Canadians there where he sent the puck. And the Canadians kept the possession and scored. Blah. Oh well that was a fantastic tournament and while I'm disapointed to come so far, we pretty much played even with the Canadians or possibly slightly better than them on their home ice in a tournament that meant so much to the country. It's not the same as a gold, but Agghhhh, I tried this sucks.
I'm having a really hard time blaming Miller for anything Yeah I know Ryan Miller had a fantastic tournament and I'm not mad at him. But on that particular play, I noted that he shouldn't have deflected that shot back to Canada. Of course if we didnt have Miller we'd have gotten 5th place or something.
The Olympics do have a way of making some new favorite players for me: Bobby Ryan, Parise and Miller, to start. I'm used to saying 4-on-4 favors our guys (the Hawks), but today, not so much. Yeah seriously, my mind automatically went to "ok it's OT we have the edge" I was pretty upset before the Olympics thinking about 2 weeks with no Hawks, but right now I'm wondering how the hell I can get up for a Blackhawks game in just 2 days after this. Imagine how our guys on the ice must feel.
I wonder what being on the positive end of this feels like. Hmm...having your favorite team win the premier championship of your favorite sport on your home turf over your arch rivals. Just imagine the Cub- ummm nevermind.
From the short glimpses I've seen of him he's added absolutely nothing to his game since Georgetown. Then you are missing a lot because quite frankly he has been pretty impressive at times. Yeah, I think Hibbert has exceeded my expectations in the NBA. He wasn't a well regarded prospect at all. The fact that he found a prominent role on an NBA team shows he's better than advertised.
Whatever, it's in their home country and they spent a crapload of money preparing their athletes for these games. Why wouldn't they deserve what they've achieved?
I mentioned this on RealGM, but the Bulls last 8 losses have been to Indiana, Washington, Orlando, Atlanta, Philadelphia, LA Clippers, LA Clippers, Golden State. That's 6 losing teams and 2 winning ones. Blah.
