Open ice? That's not allowed in playoffs. You needs lots of clutching and grabbing, just like the Kings/Canucks. No one wants to see skating, clean checks, and shots, the crowd wants to see hugs and scrums and career-threatening hits because players will not be held responsible for their action on the ice.....

You know what, "set you free", even if the skill level wasn't there, the ladies game was more entertaining than the last few NHL games I've seen because it was actually hockey, not puck-swarm.

And ladies - congrats. It was a great game, you earned your win, and you can relax about how you lost in the round-robin because you came through when it mattered. Good on ya, and hope you can repeat next year!

Didn't know that paint in the dying process was so noisy.

Future Canucks?... might be a little too tough for Vignealt's liking... Sarcasm aside... Good for you girls, well done.

GET OUT OF MY FACE MUL_DONTGIVEADAM

I am learning Portuguese, and clicked onto this web site, a "novela" and I got this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpweUolM_yY&NR=1&feature=endscreen

BTW Brasil is almost as an amazing country as Canada; I strongly emcourge Canadians to familiarise themselves with it - Harper? They have an issue with overweaning government, we have the same issue.

Why in the world would anyone watch girls play hockey?

You give too much credit. they used to practice by playin Midget AA teams in Alberta and always lost. And the boys weren't allowed to hit.

The usual "World Championship"....outscore all the world's non-competition 100 to 1 and then meet the U.S. in the finals. yawn

BTW It's not really a World Championship when 2 teams have a 100% chance of being in the finals.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
