Racki: If Canada wins, I think Boston Oiler should shave a maple leaf in his hair. If the US wins, then I’ll uhm.. punch the first person I see in anger?

Sorry man I’m not cutting my hair until after high school hockey playoffs. Our team is nasty.

Man that was nerve racking. I was getting nervous when the crowd started chanting for USA and when the commentators started talking like the game was in the bag in the first half of the 3rd. Sure enough, the Slovac got that opening goal they needed and that’ll teach everyone for looking ahead!

Anyway, Canada needs to come out of the gate against the USA like they did against the Russians. I really, really hope this is just like the juniors but with the teams flipped! The USA avenged their loss in the early rounds by taking the junior Gold, Canada needs to do just the same for Olympic Gold.

And I really, really hope that the Slovacs get bronze. They have been amazing this tourney and are going to continue to be a force in international hockey for a long time.

For those that wanted a goaltender to step up and play like Miller did against us, finally… well, Luongo saved the day big time in the last 10-ish seconds. It was an enormous save on par with that big cross-crease save that Fleury made in the final seconds of the Stalney cup clinching game to seal the deal. Only difference was that Canada didn’t win it all on it, but pretty much everything was on the line though since losing that means no more gold attempt.

Superb game, too bad the Slovaks couldn’t take it to overtime…

If the US wins, then I’ll uhm.. punch the first person I see in anger?
