So much for Ikea in this tourney...
6-1 Czechs?!!?!? Are you kidding me?
Millen had a few fcuking knob comments as usual... the best being "they must now be one of the favourites" - no fcuking kidding, you usually are when you make it to the final four of a tourney

I was thinking that this was a brilliant Ron Wilson coaching moment, then he'd insert Hull for tonight. Now I'm thinking he's clueless. It's about winning...are there many better big game players than Hull?
That said, it couldn't happen to a nicer trun-coat.

Keith freakin' Tkachuk. That was a hearty helping of crow I scarfed last night watching him tear the Ruskies a new one.
Of course, he'd be nowhere without Guerin setting the table with two tre-men-dous passes on the 2nd and 4th goals. Even though I despise two-thirds of the line, the Guerin-Tkachuk-Modano unit has been dynamite. 16 points in four games! Although 11 of them came last night.
Another (yet another) aside: Kovalev absolutely DROPPED Halpern yesterday with a pretty fierce bodycheck. He actually threw about 4-5 solid hits in the game. When, exactly, did Kovalev start throwing his weight around? I'm assuming this is still the same Alex Kovalev who bailed on the game-winning OT goal against Boston in the playoffs, after getting a love whack on the wrist. Slats must be wondering where that kind of effort was during Kovalev's 18-month snoozefest in Yonkers. Crazy stuff. I also saw Jagr go digging in the corner about eight times yesterday during the Czech romp over Sweden.
These would lead me to believe we're five signs away from witnessing some type of hockey apocalypse.

Alright, I just finished watching both national anthems being sang (or shouted out) before the Canada/Slovakia game. Does anyone else wish that the Canadian boys would shrug off the 'etiquette' that seems to be in style with international hockey? Why are none of these red blooded, good-Canadian-kids singing along and showing some patriotism??
One of the things that I love about international football tournaments is watching the teams as their anthem is being played, and the players singing along, hands over shoulders. It just doesn't seem 'cool' for hockey players to sing I guess. Am I just having a moment here, or does anyone else feel the same??

0 - 0 with about 5 minutes left in the 1st.
Canada scored one in the first few minutes that was disallowed. Ref said Iginla shoved the goalie into the net to cause the goal. After watching the replay, Quin lost his nut. Bullshit call. Slovaks now outshooting the Canadians. Crowding up the neutral zone. Not much room to skate.

Pins & needles, pins & needles...
Not one of Canada's best performances by a long shot but thanks to Luongo, we're on to the final!
Besides Luongo, I thought Iginla was the only other Canadian to bring his A-game on the night... Tuesday is going to be good... anyone up for the Mountain Shadow or something?

I thought Draper had a great game tonight. He's been a pleasant surprise offensively.
Tuesday will be a good one...Kipper will be the toughest goalie Canada has had to face thus far. Hopefully the Tampa Bay trio will have remembered the keys to beating him.
And yes, the Shadow could be a good spot for viewing purposes.

Phew...that was close!
BTW...how horrible was Paullina Gretzky's "singing" of OUR National Anthem? Fcuking embarrassing. She not only changed the tune, but changed the rhythm of the song. That may go well down south, where it's commonplace to sing your own version of the Star Spangled Banner, but you don't screw with "Oh Canada". The crowd, as soon as she started, tried to sing along with her, but stopped when she extended some notes and altered the tone.
BTW...she is absolutely a hottie. I hope Dad recognized what a shite job his American daughter did, and let's her know that Canadian don't like their song fcuked with.

I'd like to ask some star TTPers some questions:
Regs: "In light of the impending lockout tomorrow, does today's win feel all that more special?"
KNVB: "It looks like a lockout is a foregone conclusion. Does this World Cup feel extra special because of that?"
TheRob: "Does this win feel slightly more special than others because of the tomorrow's deadline and likelihood of a lockout?"
HOS: "Did this game feel extra special, since you may not be seeing any more hockey for a while?"
