Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
Now, here's something to ponder on for the next while. How do you think Canada (and the USA) will fare in the Olympic hockey games if professional NHL players aren't allowed back in? There's quite a bit of talk about it, apparently.
I suppose it might help create a more even playing field, but I have a feeling that it'll greatly reduce Canada and USA's chances at being medal contendors for some time.
Russian players are going no matter what the NHL says, Ovie has made that loud and clear to Bettman. It'll be a shame if NHL players can't play in the games but again Bettman and some greedy owners don't look beyond the US and don't think the games are worth it. Let's just hope Bettman is long gone before 2014.

Who else thinks that Patrick Kane, after the game, looked kinda like Pavel Bure?

Wow, what a game. Sidney Crosby is freaking awesome. Too bad he failed while going around with that big flag when it got all tangled up. I love how his mouthguard and glove both went flying as soon as he realized he had scored the winning goal. Felt bad for the Americans, they all looked so dejected. Oh wellz, better them than us.
It was mayhem downtown. Several signs made me laugh.
1) Gold, b!tches!
2) Suck it, Kesler!
Here's a pic I grabbed off the Vancouver Sun. Yeah we won but damn, look at their faces.. they're not going to sleep well tonight. I do give them props for their sportsmanship though. They really gave us a run for the money, and let's face it, they were *this* close to winning.

If ovie is going I bet Crosby will too. What can Bettman and the NHL do? fine them? National pride is worth more than any some of money.

Sorry, I'm a hockey noob but can anyone explain to me why Sid Crosby was so famous before? sure, he was from Nova Scotia and won a lot of tournaments at such a young age. But I mean how do people in say BC and vancouver people love him so much (apart from scoring the winning goal, just asking prior to this)... Yeah I understand he's CAD but seems like he's known worldwide
^ people were on top of the BK one to on granville i was telling my buddy that shit could collapse any second with 10+ people going on but then this cop came and got everyone down lol
On a side note, right at the intersection of W 48th and Yukon St. near the Langara Canada line station, there was a bmw 5series(i think) and a civic coupe that were torched at around 11:15pm. Got there at 11:45 and both cars were black and burnt and the firemen were just cleaning up the area. Sucks to be the owners, they were also both parking in a no parking zone.
i was gonna ask if anybody had seen ryan miller in the background in the vids after crosby scored the game winner, he just kneeled down on the ice and laid down
kinda sad to see, but like somebody's said, better them than us

Wow, shit, that's crazy.
I thought you could park in the small streets and not on cambie obviously...
^^ those small streets are full of "residents only" or "permits required" signs. yet people will still park there, and i'm sure the home owners around there expected something like that to happen during the last two weeks.

That's only in team sports though. But since this is the HOCKEY thread, your point is still valid.
