2006 Winter Olympics

[The Miz]

Yeah, this is the thread to discuss whats going on in the 2006 Winter Olympics, which are currently underway in Torino, Italy.

Which event(s) are you most looking forward too, etc?

I'm mainly looking forward to the hockey. Team Canada looks good as always. No Spezza, Staal, or Crosby. But I still think they should be good enough to win Gold. Especially with Turco, Luongo, Brodeur as their 3 goalies.

Also Canada has like 7 medals so far if I'm not mistaken. Mainly all Silver and Bronzes though I believe.

So yeah, discuss the winter olympics here.

I think U.S. has the most Golds and no bronzes lol, we are all about quality lol

 

[The Miz]

Apparently some guy from California won the gold medal for snowboarding, I was like eh? wtf. They don't even got snow over there.

 

[Xephon]

No one cares about this event IMO lol. The only decent event is Hockey.

 

[The Miz]

I agree with Xephon here kinda. I only watch for the men's hockey and the medal standings to see if Canada won a medal in any other event I don't care for.

well womens canada hockey team will go to finals prolly with usa like always. As for the mens hockey team I think they have to win, they have good goalie's so if one is not doing well we have another good guy.

Our defence is pretty strong though if we had jovanoski and neidamayer we might be a little stronger. Our offence is pretty strong though like Jamie said there are a few guys that could have played instead of the older guys.

Next canada game is tomrw morning

 

[The Miz]

Yeah, they play the Swiss. Swiss had a huge upset win against the Czech yesterday, so I wouldn't take Swiss lightly. Though an early prediction by me says that Canada will win 6-2 over the Swiss.

 

[Jechtsphere]

Snowboarding is really popular here though lol, we don't have to go far to find snow.

Female snowboarder blew a sure gold when she was showing off or something and fell -_-

she got stuck with silver.

funny last i checked U.S. had no bronze and one of the most golds.

I'm really disapointed right now the Canada VS SUI. Just finished and I dunno wtf to say except that the game was ****ing bull****. Refs made BS calls, too many penalties and Canada just didn't have the adrenalin to play today........ The Swiss finally beat us after never winning a game against us..... this is a sad day for all canadians.......

Yeah man, I mean they gotta get this win against Finland or they could sadly be ****ed. And Steve Moore will be staring down with that evil laugh if we do.

Evil Lagh eh, well i got an evil laugh for you..wait till my grandma starts eating beans, there wont be any laghing just animals without fur and about 200 chemical clean-up teams LOL

 

[Nitz]

Well I still have faith in Canada but now they will get it through their heads that they have to play harder and take less penatlies....

 

[Jechtsphere]

wowo Canada lost...didn't think they would...so as far as I know U.S. and Canada both have a loss.

 

[The Miz]

Yeah, for so long it was always Canada and the USA that were dominant at hockey, then Russia became good, then even Finland, Sweden, Czech Republic did, now it looks as if Switzerland is getting good now.

What's next? Kazakhstan gets good and beats Canada or the US?

In other news, Canada is 4th in the medal standings with 12.

 

[Jechtsphere]

someone post all the medals for each country or the top ones lol

 

[The Miz]

Norway is in 1st with 14. Only 1 gold medal though, Swiss is second with 13, as is the US and Germany with 13 each, and Canada is at 12.

 

[[-Tr1p-]]

France Just took a gold, with norway getting silver in the mens ski/shooting thng its on the top ov my tonque, and US vs slov now in hockey

 

[The Miz]

USA wont win the mens hockey. Sorry to any americans, but nah I think Russia, Czech, Sweden, even Switzerland now have a better chance then the USA to win it. Not to mention Canada of course.

 

[[-Tr1p-]]
