I'm still on cloud nine...and I'm glad that Canucks aren't the only ones who give a damn about the World Juniors.<BR/><BR/>Not sure if Mason dropped an "F" bomb or not. I actually wondered the same thing, but I thought that maybe he caught himself before letting it out. I remember Jonathan Toews let the "F" bomb fly last year - it was F'in hilarious.<BR/><BR/>I thought that the US had a real shot at winning this tournament too. I was worried as hell when we faced them in the semis, and I was surprised at how Team USA handled things. I didn't expect them to fold under the pressure, but I don't think it will happen again in Ottawa. <BR/><BR/>So, with orange juice in hand, here's to international hockey and the World Juniors!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06713029480428878839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1632758143254386483.post-82732056438989126052008-01-06T00:39:00.000-04:002008-01-06T00:39:00.000-04:00And hey, did Mason drop an "F" bomb in one of the ...And hey, did Mason drop an "F" bomb in one of the postgame interviews?

What a well-played tournament, especially the last two games. Canada deserved to win. You guys pounded us in the semis, and I was glad to see them hold on and fight through some adversity there in the third period (some of those calls...ugh) to win it in OT.<BR/><BR/>I actually thought the US team might have had a shot this year, but it wasn't to be. Even worse, we came out completely flat today against the Russians and waited until the third period to start playing. There were rumblings of some finger-pointing in the US locker room after the loss to Canada, and it carried over to today, I think. If it's true, this is twice in three years that a US team has been marred by chemistry issues. Maybe it changes next year and the players who will be back will remember the sting of losing to Russia.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, congrads again. Have a celebratory beer or drink of choice for those of us south of the border who love this tournament and let's look forward to 2009 in Ottawa!Stooshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956903958463531768noreply@blogger.com
