you seem to have 2005 and 2006 information confused... dion phaneuf played in 2005... and 2006, with a Canadian 6-1 win over Russia, was held in Vancouver not Grand Forks.

Sorry, the open bottle of Gin fell off the shelf and into my mouth.
alls good now

 

[HabsRule]

And next, the Olympics. GOLD!!!!! For the men and women.

Marc Staal was simply amazing, covered his man at all times, cant wait to see him in the NHL, future norris trophy canidate.

 

[masterofhockeyknowledge]

Marc Staal and Michael Blunden were unbelievable on defense. Johnathan Toews was also very good, infact better than Kessel in my opinion. Justin Pogge also has a future in the net. I think he will turn out to be like Marty Turco. Dustin Boyd was also magnificant as was Steve Downey for pissing others off. Great job Canada. They were under rated. U.S.A was way over rated and look what happened to them in this tournament. Russia also played good but Canada was a force on ice.

 

[Rick_Nash]

thats what i liked about this team, they were not a super offensive squad but verry good on the defence and they played with alot of Grit ( the way Canadian hockey should be played ) and this squad made a good example of that.,
Kind of reminds me of the 87 Canada cup squad.

 

[masterofhockeyknowledge]

Maybe these juniors can beat the team Gretzky assembled together at Torino who didn't even make fourth place. I bet they could. Plus Steve Downey would piss off Todd Bertuzzi so bad Bertuzzi would get thrown out. Plus none of those people on the Torino Canadian team would be able to get by the junior defense. Luc Bourdon would also throw a couple of hits on those pathetic players on the Torino team to wake them up and give them a sign to play better.

 

[allstardefenceman10]

The Canadian boys are going to bring home the GOLD.

 

[Canuck]

Hopefully they will this year but i dont think they're a huge favourite this year as much as last year.
