Dear Canada,
We'll keep the Biebs out of your hair for awhile. Not because you won a game of hockey but, because we want to fleece the little pecker out of his royalties.
Good luck against the Swedes.

Thank you for the best wishes.

As for the other 'thing', fleece him for good 'n' plenty.

I always like these posts. Don't count your chickens before they hatch. Great game against a great Sweden team.

Canada baby!!

I expected a much better game from Sweden. In their defense they were missing three good forwards, Henrik Zetterberg, Johan Franzen and Henrik Sedin. Backstrom was a scratch at game time. But I don't think it would have mattered. Canada did not make any mistakes in any of their games. They were like a machine in this one. Glad Sid got a goal.

Kudos to Stevie Yzerman, he took some flak for his player selection, but he is golden now.

Of all the medals Canada won, this is the one we wanted most. It's a good day.

Seriously. Sorry that Swedes couldn't kick your butt this time... ok, ok, not so seriously... lets try again... Sorry you didn't get brightest one this time Sweden. Silver is still good result.

We beat you in the preliminary round and we would have beat you again. Congrats though to that old Winnipeg Jet, Teemu Selänne for winning IIHF MVP award. Always liked him.

You Scandinavians are good on skies but we own this game. Now excuse me, I gotta go look for a bigger hat.

On the other hand a Grand Prix champion (which one I don't remember at the moment) once said "Second Place? Third Place? There's the winner and there's everybody else!" Implying that "everybody else" are all losers.

To put it another way:

Second place is first loser.

Dunno who said it.

Try this! Hopefully your ego fits below it.

But it's not ego, it's pride. Do you have one in red and white?

Go easy now kraznyi, I don't think one Canadian here said at the outcome we were going to win. That one goes to yourself. Let's just say we both love our hockey and our country and leave it at that. There will be lot's more games to be played in the future.

Cheers to all the great athletes and countries who took part in the games!!
