Crap! 3-2 Russia. Fleury was excellent but our offense sucked in the Russian zone!

<p>Better luck next year I guess

yeah they played like $hit, they didnt shoot enough, the russian goalie isnt that good, they just didnt pressure him enough, i think canada should have won (not just because im canadian) but because they had such a good team and played so well together, and hopefully we can have almost the same team next yeat, goooo JORDIN tootoo, lol <p>WAY TO GO CANADA!!!!!!

ya we had no offense, expecially towards the end, the last powerplay was just horrible we got it hit out of the zone like 10 times

yeah that russian goalie was a fat as*! But yeah, actually i thought canada was gettin pretty lucky, if u look at how they played........very sloppy! if it wasn't for Fleury, they would have not even made it there.....<p>[ January 06, 2003: Message edited by: DVH ]</p>

Good game, but neither team could hold on to the puck for any length of time. There were so many turnovers and sloppy passes from both teams. Maybe next year they can take out Russia.

Canada played garbage their last 2 games. I know a lot of guys here are American but, Canada should have scored a $hit load of goals on the Americans in the semi-finals (sorry). It's like they went in with a lot of hype and then they faded.<p>one

hey mitmaks, maybe you should try cracking a dictionary so we can all understand what you are saying, and canada should have spanked russia, that third period was just about the sloppiest hockey playing i have ever seen, thumbs up to fleury though, that was some awesome goal tending.
