@mirzayanov1 actually you cant make excuses. You had ovechkin, yashin, kvasha, datsyuk, kovalchuck, afinogenov, gonchar, kovalev, tverdovsky, markov, kasparitis, volchenkov, zubrus, etc. at the time that was a pretty stacked line-up. And by the way you did have danny markov so shut up. You guys werent even a favourite going into the tourney. You guys were projected to go 4th.
@scottwill19 There`s no point arguing with Russians, they will never accept the fact that they are good yes, but not the best. Canada has dominated Russia in best on best tournaments, our latest showing - 7-3 olympics.
Canada is the best people accept it and stop fighting about it, theres a superior nation in every sport, Baseball = US, Football = Brazil, Rugby = New Zealand, Hockey = Canada. doesn`t get any simpler than that.
@iLuvBarRefaeli they beat russia 3-1 the game could have gone either way, russia were mssing a lot of their good players, canada complains about not having its best players but russia didn't have its best out there and they still only lost 3-1
@iLuvBarRefaeli canadians bitch about not having there best players on the team so its okay for me to also bitch about russian not having its best on the ice at that world cup hockey '04
@iLuvBarRefaeli russia didn't have khabibulin in net, that they didn't have yuskevich who was a really good defensman at the time, didn't have danny markov who was a good d-man too, didn't have fedorov, zubov and all those guys, canadians make excuses about not having there best players out so i can make excuses too
Canada is best on canadian/us ice rinks only. European-like ice rings are still not conquested. 1998 - Nagano + 2006 Torino from northamericans team only Canada got semis in Nagano. Thats reality guys, next olympics on northamerican territory will be not before 2022/2026. So you will have a lot of time for whining, thats what you know best :)
@volyn You forgot one detail: the rink in Salt Lake City had the size of an European-like rink. It's only in Vancouver that they first played Olympics on NHL-size ice rinks.
@volyn Canada is the best on any ice surface, we`ve won world championships on it, world juniors, womens team and mens team won on olympic ice in 02 salt lake, don`t try to make excuses for the Canada`s hockey supremecy, im not sure Canadians know whining, considering we win 95% of the time, afterall it is Canada`s game, we will dominate now and forever, get used to it whiner.
@iLuvBarRefaeli thats without discussion, I didn't say that you are losers, Roger Federer was also best and lost many matches, just read what was written, not what you want to read.
@iLuvBarRefaeli no one cares about world championships, sorry but no one cares about women's hockey it is boring as hell no matter what country is playing, what matters is the olympics and world cup hockey
In best on best tournies, no one touches canada, the world championships arent best on best, europe sends their best teams, and our best players decline yet our mediocre teams still come close to beating europes best...but when it comes to best on best canada by far is better...watch in sochi crosby will be getting 130 pts campaigns in the NHL and stamkos will be getting 60 goal seasons like nobodies buisness
@scottwill19 if no one touches canada in best on best tourneys, how come you didn't win an olympic gold for 50 yrs between 1952 and 2002? Additionally when you did get your first after 50 yrs in 2002, your best got humiliated by our best (sweden) 5-2 ;)
Finally, in the iihf no big european team is close to its best in the world championship, our sweden team is a B or C-team, our big players are nearly all of them playing in the playoffs (3 of them in the eastern and 12 of them in the western)
@Bonaboms because until 1998 the olympics was amateur only, and the communist countries cheated bcuz the only thing that made them amateur was the fact they didnt pay their players, so it was not a best on best tourney, and you really wanna mention 2002? you really wanna go there? last time i check u got eliminated by belarus, and still we won the tourney didnt we? and also no, u have access to alot of good players, ur country is just like us, more focused on the cup, thats why lots decline
Even though Russia is ranked number 1 in the IIHF rankings, they are not the best. They beat us in the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS and we beat them in the OLYMPICS. Which is better? I think you know the answer.
@metalcore211 You are not right. What is "right now"?
In that moment for example I can say Russia is better than Canada because Russians won the last math and Olympiad 2010 is only history now. But I'm mistaken of course.
Because this match just like the any other matches is only one occasion.
All time records give opportunity to see general picture.
So I guess it's no very clever to confirm that you are the best if you loosed the last math and have awful all time stats.
russians play hockey much better?? who won the olympics? canada.... who dominated russia? canada... canada is better... always will be... who won half of the olympics since nhl players have played? canada... step down you russian loving idiot
@pimpshit1991 wow do u watch hockey.. Canada dominates Russia in every category Talent, Heart, Grit, Determination, Nation Support and one more thing GOLD!! O i forgot didnt Russia lose 7-3 to a much more talented Canada... and did Canada win gold against USA, 3-2 Canada is rated #1 on IIHF WORLD RANKINGS we are the best and we will always be the best.
u wish buddy, its actually a fact its our game, u just think its urs bcuz u had ur run, but now ur nothing and we r the only hockey country in the world
u guys have no passion for the game like we do, wen canada was winning the world was normal but wen u guys r getting lucky, the world has shit economy and almost in another depression
if we win then the world is how it shud be, now go fuck urself u robots
This team had Mario Lemieux on it, nuff said, there was nobody on the Russian team who ca even hold a candle to him.
