Yeah, it gives me shivers to think you Canadians actually take pride in a victory where it was so clearly handed to you by the referee (a Canadian himself). Hell, even that vaunted "Gretzky to Lemieux" goal you Canadians consider the holy grail of hockey featured the most obvious uncalled hooking of a retreating defender I've ever seen. Go back and watch it again if you don't believe me! Even with home ice and the referee in their pocket, Canada could only win by 1. "Congratulations" Canada!
I'm American, not Russian. Like I give a crap who won that game. I'm just bothered by the fact that you Canadians think for one second you were the better team that night. You were at home and could only win by 1 with the referee in your pocket.
3 Russians fell on the play, and a 4th was hooked. But he wouldn't have been able to stop Lemieux anyway, unless he took a penalty himself. he was in the wrong place on the ice to do anything. As for having the referee in our pocket, that's a classic loser's lament. Referees miss calls all the time. Go back and watch the entire game and do a tally of the missed calls. You don't know how they were calling hooks in this game, so until you do some homework, try to use less inflammatory language.
@gbisson16 don't wast your time with this asshole, i replied to him, and all he does is act like an ignorant cunt, and then when you respond again, he cassl YO a 13 year old and frefuses any response.
fucking eh you said it. still gives me shivers. Hamilton could survive bettman is just anti Canadian. there is no difference in having Buffalo Toronto and Hamilton that close as there is both Ny teams and Jersey.
I bet all of the families of the Russian players were shot, and the players lived the rest of their days in Siberia.
Dah Dah Canada

@pqshindelus
Are you kidding me? The refs don't call penalties in the final minutes of the 3rd period.
Canada scored even strength, and Lemieux made a great play to even get that puck up to Gretzky in the first place.
And Henderson was our Holy Grail, now it's Crosby! Go Syd the kid!
