superguide Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Re: Official Boston Bruins thread What a stupid penalty Bertuzzi took and Pronger was either in the penalty box or on the ice for just about every goal against the whole Olympics-we deserved to lose our best players for that size of ice weren't there.Quinn got outciached big time every game too-time to turn a Sutter loose I'm thinking.

TreeStandBowHunter Posted February 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Re: Official Boston Bruins thread I think the US and Canada are probably embarrassed. I mean here we are, we have the world famous NHL...the most talented hockey league in the world, filled mostly with US and Canadien players and we can't win in the Olympics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Re: Official Boston Bruins thread I am going to bed very mad.............hope I can sleep....oh man they have brought me down......I have been looking forward to this for so long....even booked some time off work to see the last 2 games....now they are not even there!

fisherguy Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Re: Official Boston Bruins thread Well 4 years ago they pulled it together jsut in time, thei year i think they needed one more game. No doubt Canada had the most talented team there, but they can't seem to come togeter as a team as fast as other countries. I know they have a tough NHL schedule, but I think this is proof they need to find time to get them playing together a bit before the olympics. Either that or figure out why the other countries adapt to their new teammates so much faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaskMan Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Re: Official Boston Bruins thread I didn't see the game so i can't comment on it. I will say that using the NHL's tough schedule as an excuse is weak at best, how many NHL ers are on the final 4 teams?? Lots!! I will however say that one of my final 2 picks is gone.....Canada, the other I'd have picked was the Czech Republic. They're still there but is anyone's medal now. I thoght all along that Canada possibly left a few guys at home that desrved to be there, maybe I was right, maybe not, we'll not know until 2010.

superguide Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Re: Official Boston Bruins thread You were right-our 'D' especially Pronger and Blake looked old and slow. Quinn got outcoached by every team he played-I actually think the Finns might take it all-they got a few guys paying the price over there.

Tominator Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Re: Official Boston Bruins thread That Olympic hockey about makes me sick. Not the game I'm used to, not even the soft new stuff of the new NHL. I don't know if it's complaisance, arrogance, apathy or what, but both team USA and Canada looked frustrated and out of their element.

[/ QUOTE ] European hockey is just as good, if not better than North American. Two different styles of play, but they're equally match IMHO. Not to mention, the Europeans are used to that ice size, and teams like Finland have had the same group of guys playing together for 5-6 years now. The US and Canada just throw a bunch of stars out there, and against this level of competition, sometimes that doesn't always work. The US team was OK, but they're aging. I would have liked to have seen some of our younger guys out there that could use their legs to spread that ice surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drkillemquick Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Re: Official Boston Bruins thread With all the injuries to star players so far this olympics I wouldn't be surprised if the NHL does not allow their players to go next time around. They pay them way to much money to have them getting hurt, in the olympics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
