i hope he gets a suspension too, it was pretty cheap...but i also hope he plays against Canada if the two teams meet again, so someone(hopefully downie) can get some revenge

I doubt he'll get anything else...he's considered a "star" player, and as we all know, they're held to an entirely different set of standards...Further evidence? He was still named US player of the game regardless...nice message to send the kids there...:roll:

As for the revenge factor, if the two teams meet again, it will be in the final, so I doubt very much Sutter will let the team take liberties like that (unless, of course the score gets out of hand)...More likely, Downie will go after him at his first NHL opportunity (when his Flyers face Johnson's Hurricanes)...

All that aside, talk about a huge win/tie last night...Canada now gets to sit back and wait for the winner of the Sweden/Finland Quarterfinal, while the US has to beat both the Czechs and Russians just to get to the final...I'll take option 'A' anyday... :thumb:

Nice to hear the "Pog-ge, Pog-ge, Pog-ge" chants as well...probably the biggest cheer a Leaf has received in Vancouver since the days of Tiger Williams... :lol:
