Hey RipCat can you tell me what forum this is?
Ripcat @ Wed Oct 19, 2005 4:17 pm

Sheesh....
Only in Canada, you say?
$1:
Yes, only in Canada could the announcement of an 81-player long list of potential Olympians be met with as much excitement and fanfare as there was when Hockey Canada posted it on their website Wednesday.
I guess that's everywhere in Canada except on CKA.....

I guess Canada is really trying to cover ALL their bases here. I'd be scared to see Cloutier in the net at the Olympics.

OK w/e lets all just say GO CANADA GO and hope we actually win a real gold metal next olimpics not one for the trampoline lol(alotho the stuff that chisck did on a trampoline was crazy)GO LEAFS GO ha

As long as Cloutier gets little to no time in the net, I'll be happy.

Yeah actually I believe we've won the gold medals in both mens & women's olympics the last couple times...? Or maybe that was just world championships, who knows.
Streaker @ Sun Oct 23, 2005 12:10 am
Yeah, in 2002 both men's and women's hockey teams won the gold. Before that it had been a loooong time since Canada had won an Olympic hockey gold medal...

any ideas on no. 1 goalie for olympics? I'm thinking it'll be Luongo this year. With this much talent in a hockey camp, it should be Canada vs. the World. GO CANADA GO!!!
