OK... keep talking. If Canada wins, I acknowledge their superiority. If not, you should be a big enough man to do so as well. In any case I do respect Canada. QUOTE]

I'm just kidding jhelmuth. I respect the US team as well. They are very strong and as I said, it should be an exciting game.

Times have changed though, and Canada has found itself on the outside looking in in the International Hockey world. [/

I wouldn't quite say that. We did win the last olympics. That counts for something I think.

Maybe if more of you actually listened to Ken Dryden, Mike Smith, and Wayen Gretzky, you'd be a dominant world power. USA is marching down that road and we'll leave you in our spray if your out-dated ideas don't change. The future in Hockey is skills and creativeness - not in how big a goon you can put on the ice and the clutch-n-grab bull__it that exists in the NHL today

I agree 100%. Canadian hockey isn't growing and American hockey is, along with a lot of European countries. The US especially, is producing more quality players every year.

Not only the future, I think the past in hockey was also about skill and creativeness. Too bad for the time being, this is not the case. There are too many teams in the NHL now. So many that the quality of the games is suffering. Bring it back to the original six and then we'd have some quality hockey.

Either way, good luck to both teams in the final.

Obviously Canada has a great team as well. You gotta love that 16 year old Crosby kid - what a hockey player he's gonna be!
 
You know, I wanted to follow up on what I said earlier for all my Hockey bretherin up in the Great White North (Canada).
There really are great coaches and opportunities in Canadian Youth Hockey to develop the Worlds best players - and in some instances that happens. But it really isn't to the degree that it has been in the late past, nor to the degree that it should be. I'd appeal to all those with an interest or care to listen to a few key countrymen and professionals who could make Canada the dominant world power they once were. Mainly - read and listen to Wayne Gretzkey and Ken Dryden (and Waynes Dad for that matter). These 2 gents can offer alot to people who can make a difference and are in a position to support Canada and these young men and ladies who do give their life and pride to their sport and country. Hockey is the greatest game on earth, but the development of the future (the kids) is not in the right hands. And if you are a parent out there, please let your kids enjoy the game - it's not yours - it belongs to them!
