oh god not soccer! i dun wanna sleep yet!

Anyone gonna catch the canada vs slovakia game?

:suspicious: Uhhh New York loaned Henry out to Arsenal for Champions League play this year. I feel that is still world-class enough.

:fuckthatshit:

How many minutes did he play in the champions league genius? I'd only reserve "world class" for the stars of soccer.. He isn't a star anymore.

Canada up 2-1

burrows left game in 2nd with undisclosed injury :(

Edit: Nvm

TSN said burrows may be concussed :(

3-1 canada

Fuck the rink looks so ridiculously huge

Shit noooooooo!

Yeah, diff but so much more room for the skilled guys.

Close but a 3 - 2 win!

TSN comment page makes me fucking sick

its nothing new. the majority of posters on tsn have always been morons.

Any chance in hell NHL move to international size rink? These guys have outgrown the current size IMO

I wont say NEVER...but i dont think so.

Thumbs up to Nashville coach Barry Trotz for making the right decision for sitting out Radulov and Andrei Kostitsyn for game 4. A bunch of selfish Russians who put their own partying ahead of their team mates.

Team mates were sleeping, resting up for game 3 while Dumb and Dumber were partying it up at a Scottsdale club until 4am.

If the coach allowed those two clowns to play game 4, it might have affected team morale in the locker room.

Radulov is one of the laziest forwards that I've ever seen in terms of back checking. He won't play the 2 way game.

Radulov, Kostitsyn out for Preds in Game 4 - sportsnet.ca

Here's a video showing Radulov taking a long skate just before the Phoenix scores a goal. No hustle at all. Where is the backcheck from no. 47?
Lazy. NBC analyst Keith Jones rips the Russian up. :)

I would say never. Bigger rink = Less seats = Less revenue. At the end of the day its all about the bottom line.

yep, kovalchuk imo is also notorious for being lazy on the back check / defensive play

well kovalchuk is a great player who is a great play maker/scorer so that covers him up :fullofwin:

Burrows :QQ:

hope he's okay.. i just finished watching the game (PVR'd it).

Gillis and the owner are meeting Monday. David Pratt tweeted bye bye AV, or something to that effect.

Yet he kills penalties. :fullofwin:

that's cause he's pretty much only walking the blue line during the pk :P

We all know the stereotype in hockey when it comes to Russians, they dont play the two-way game, they are born to be speeder scoring machines.

Canada - Heart & determination
USA - aggressive, cheap & dirty
Swedes - Skills kills
Fins - Flash & Dash
czech -
slovaks -

David Pratt also believed poker is a sport and he would get signed to big bucks right away when 1040 walked away from him.
