there's a hockey tournament going on? Is that the one that TSN and Sportsnet are pretending people are interested in??
Who's the guy that's scoring all the goals for Canada? Pluto Nash??
I have Mariano Rivera in my baseball pool, so I fully agree that the Yanks are stinking it up right now. I also have Randy Johnson, and that ain't working out too well either.

if you were actually watching the tournament you'd be interested, because there's been some great games (CAN vs. USA, CAN vs. SWE, CAN vs. FIN), and it's great to see Nash and Thornton rippin it up, if you're not watching THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP AND OUR DEFENDING CHAMPION TEAM CANADA, THEN YOU ARE NOT A TRUE HOCKEY FAN!
ps: back to back shutouts for the Yankees, big first wins for Wang and Brown, and more HR's for A-Rod, Martinez, and Posada too.

yes, Bud Selig runs the Yankees, and he's got it rigged so that they're going to win this year, sucks to be you.

i used to be a huge hockey fan until about 3-4 months ago, now this world championship is doing nothing for me. i tried to watch a game and even though these guys are wearing the maple leaf, all i see is a bunch whiny millionaires and i realized if i cant get into a best on best type of tournament, well lets just say i am done with giving these pricks any type of support, be it nhl or otherwise

If the players had a brain between any of them , this would have been over long ago. Hockey as we know it is over, it won't recouver from this, not even in canada, the players have greedily screwed them selves out of lots of money. I don't think too many people will be running back to the rinks if they ever do settle on a deal.
Besides the players don't bring me excitement, all they have brought is boring watered down hockey for the last 10 years. Both parties are to blame for the mess, Owners want to fix it, players seem to think they are entitled to be grossly over paid, and are not willing accept change.
Belak lives around the corner from me, his house is up for sale, looks like he is cashing out.
