USA Fans -- Feeling Guilty for Quick Moving the Net Off Its Moorings?

[SpikedLemonade]

If Quick had not done that (not hit or any contact), that 3rd Russian goal would have counted.

Russia would have have won that game.

Oh, I'm sorry, it is only cheating when it happens to the US.

You ****ing Canadians are all the same...

red headed, step children wanna-bes who think they know how to brew beer.

you frozen idiots can't even do bowling right...

Au contraire the Canadian men's and women's curling teams in Sochi are both in the gold medal game

Or. Maybe Russia could have just scored another?

Quitcher *****in'

[Downinfloflo]

Spiked is nervous and he's setting up his excuse ahead of time because Canada is a beatable team.

So if the U.S.A wins on Friday he could say they should not have been playing Canada.:boost:

You're not understanding... our half-bred cousins from up north went bowling and came up with curling. Who give a **** if they're good at it?

Btw.. Sydney Crosby had to ask for permission to be a leader...

"On Wednesday, Babcock revealed a little more about the process. According to the Team Canada coach, Crosby wanted to make sure Toews was fine with him getting the captaincy before things became official."

...more...

Aw you are like my little brother when we were growing up.

Canadiens are so cute.

Like in Southpark when they play kick the Canadian baby (Ike).

[Dude]

Why in the world would anyone in America feel guilty about our hockey team beating Russia? Even if Russia had won that game, there's no guarantee they would advance any further. They simply aren't as good as everyone thinks they should have been.

As for the net issue, it's in the rules that if the net is dislodged the goal doesn't count. I have yet to see any conclusive evidence that it was purposely moved. Also, don't forget that the officials supervisor that allowed the goal was Russian, so if it really was moved intentionally you would think he would have disallowed the goal.



Cliff's Notes version: Stop your whining. You sound like a baby.

[mightysimi]

It's not like the US wouldn't have advanced to the quarters or semis. It's not like if that goal went in they were going home or anything. Regardless of where they ended up in the seeding they are playing well so I don't think it is really an issue. Looking forward to a solid game. Just hope it doesn't get decided by a shootout. Nothing worse than an important game being decided by a gimmick.

Jesus, Spike, I usually agree with you in the BZ but you got thrashed here.

I'm just glad not to have to play another Euro trap team.

Should be a more wide open game with a lot of talent on both sides.

I love Canadians but they are always so worried about our business.

Only in passive aggressive douchy ways too.

Who got the Medals in Curling this year ?

The Canadian women just won the Gold against Sweden. Mike Babcock and the Sedin twins were in the stands watching the game

CA tied it up with less than a minute left.

That wasn't even a penalty, she missed her & they called a penalty. I'm calling the Canadian embassy & protesting the game.

The end of the game was the empty net post

Stop trying to turn this into a good natured, analytical thread.

Wow did USA get absolutely hosed in that game. That ****ing slash was one of the worst calls I've ever seen and that is not hyperbole.

I thought it was made clear a while earlier in the thread that we aren't allowed to complain. LOL. I didn't see it as I'm at work but even the TSN radio call had said that it looked like she tripped herself. C'est la vie. Blow a 2 goal lead with 4 to play and you deserve to lose.

You'd think we could of blocked a few more shots or made a couple of extra sacrifices to secure Gold, 4 minutes left is all we had to play out.

[JoeMama]

If Quick had not done that (not hit or any contact), that 3rd Russian goal would have counted.

Russia would have have won that game.

Oh, I'm sorry, it is only cheating when it happens to the US.

Your beef is with international rules.

If we played by NHL (and by extension, American) rules, it wouldn't have counted.

But apparently the rest of the world wants us to win!

Honestly, don't you have Jews to complain about? Or how Ralph Wilson stubbornly won't die?

Go feel sorry for yourself somewhere else. Nobody likes a whiner.

So if you allow a team to dominate you for 50 minutes and go up by 2 scores you don't deserve to lose as well?

I never understand this logic about "deserving to win/lose".

Was that what is called dominating a team for 50 minutes?

[BuffaloRedleg]

What I'm saying is that if you lose, you deserved to lose.

If USA pulls it out despite losing a 2 goal lead, they still deserve to win.

Because they won.

[SpikedLemonade]

5-0 Finns.

I did not see that coming.

ARE YOU SATISFIED NOW?

HAS JUSTICE BEEN SERVED?!?!?

[Skooby]

Spirit crushed, most professional hockey has been a huge stain on my soul this season.

[mightysimi]

That is a big let down after the semi finals. I would bet a ton that Canada would have had a hard time in the Bronze medal game too.
