I'm not a lucky person. I just have this habit of being able to find really good parking spots no matter where I am.

That was basically the best Hockey any team has ever played, period, how could any team ever possibly be more dominant than the Canadians were? It was a little boring to watch but unbelievable at the same time.

There are those who believe that Sweden's internet 'piracy' laws are up to date and the government respects the fact that the internet should NOT be censored.

Back to Hockey:

I agree with Peter that the gold metal game was a yawner. I am happy my PVR recorded it so I could watch it when I got up sunday morning. Not taking anything away from the players, but the best part of the game was when the team got their gold medals.

I didnt find it boring at all..Would i have liked to see more goals..sure.

There something about Perry,Getzlaf,and Benn skating wide open down the ice,along with those other lines.It was also awesome to see Kessel,JVR,and Pavelski fly down the ice.

Boring....not for me!

Yeah yeah yeah..... Im Canadian...... its easier for me to think that way.

Theres something about power house lines like that, from Canada and the US, that got me going.

I think the Summit Series team and any of the 80's Canada Cup teams would disagree. Let's face it there were a lot of players from earlier eras that never had the chance to play in the olympics during their careers. Imagine the dream team they could have put together for the 88 olympics had they allowed NHL players!

I honestly think the whole tournament lacked the aggressive play that makes the NHL… the NHL. Its not the "big ice" like most would say. To me it looked like most players were playing "hard enough" not to get hurt. Let's face it the Olympic gold medal is a cherry on top to most of these guys. The be all end all (for most NHLer's) is the Stanley Cup.
