Brush with Greatness Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 3-1 Canada. Brad Richards with the "game winner".
nl5xsk1 Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 4-2 Finns, Koivu gets the game winner late in the third, and then some defensive-minded forward hits an empty netter (maybe Eloranta).

the max Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 Is Marty going to start? tsn has him as probable, but I'd think he'd definitely start, considering how lights out he's been in the tourney. 2-1 Canada in OT.

Bitter that America lost out? Not really ... the Americans had no business beating a superior Russian team, and I went into the Finland game thinking that the better team would win, and wasn't entirely sure that the US would be the better team that night. I just really think it'll come down to goaltending, and - right now - Kipper > Luongo. If Brodeur is 100% then it's the Canadians. But if it's Luongo or a less-than-100% Brodeur, then I think it's going to the Finns.
LaParkaMarka Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 If the Canadians lose, I want Jarkko Ruutu to score the winner. I heart that man.
Tawren Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 3-2 Fins, I think. Koivu with the winner.
treble Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 Aki Berg's going to do something big, whether it's good or bad.
CanadianChris Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 1-0 Canada in the FIRST MINUTE.
Tawren Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 Are we still using spoiler tags? 1-0 Canada 52 seconds in already. Damn.
Tawren Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 Ha ha~! Yes! Finland ties it up! 1-1!
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted September 15, 2004 Report Posted September 15, 2004 Did anyone see Ruutu's goal? That was amazing, too bad he is a Blackhawk.
starvenger Posted September 15, 2004 Report Posted September 15, 2004 Canada wins!! And now that the NHL and NHLPA have some extra money in their war chests, let the lockout begin...
Tawren Posted September 15, 2004 Report Posted September 15, 2004 Well damn...still, great game, exciting all the way through. Finish was very nailbiting, but Canada held on. Good for them.
starvenger Posted September 15, 2004 Report Posted September 15, 2004 OK, bring out the toilet roll holder!!
the max Posted September 15, 2004 Report Posted September 15, 2004 Is it me or did the Fins just look LOST when they had to do nothing but attack? Good win for Canada, and it's funny that LeCavalier was a replacement and he ends up winning the MVP for the tourney (although Marty could have made a strong case for it. A GAA of 1 isn't anything to sneeze at)
Red Baron Posted September 15, 2004 Report Posted September 15, 2004 It was either Vinny or Brodeur winning the MVP. Finland seemed to run out of gas in the third period, but man, they came close a few times. and Doan's goal, wow, what a beauty
Guest Rrrsh Posted September 15, 2004 Report Posted September 15, 2004 Both Doan and Sakic's goal were very pretty
treble Posted September 15, 2004 Report Posted September 15, 2004 So, a Pat Quinn coached team, with a maple leaf as their logo, wins the Cup in Toronto. I can die happy now, I guess.
Highland Posted September 15, 2004 Report Posted September 15, 2004 And that's about as close as Toronto will get to even sniffing the Cup for a long time to come.
Guest Olympic Slam Posted September 15, 2004 Report Posted September 15, 2004 And that's about as close as Toronto will get to even sniffing the Cup for a long time to come. Hehe, and that wasn't a CBA/strike reference either.
starvenger Posted September 15, 2004 Report Posted September 15, 2004 And that's about as close as Toronto will get to even sniffing the Cup for a long time to come. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you're a fan of Detroit or some other team that's won the Cup recently. Otherwise...
the max Posted September 15, 2004 Report Posted September 15, 2004 Even if he's not, it was still a good one.
nl5xsk1 Posted September 15, 2004 Report Posted September 15, 2004 Congratulations to all of the Canadians, and Canadian fans, on this board. I have to admit that I was rooting for the Finns, but that's mainly because I predicted them to win before the game. Having said that, though, I'm stoked that Joe Thornton got to be on the winning team. Two assists last night, six points in the six games ... not bad for the 'checking line' center. Seeing the B's captain celebrate was a pretty good consolation for seeing the US lose, and then the Finns lose after that.

I go for Boston, and even though it's been a long time, it hasn't been as long as the Leafs. Bring it on.
