Because both the US and Canada are pretty good at it. The other teams are getting better. Really isn't much different than when the Soviets were beating teams 19-1. There are plenty of sports in the Olympics where one country dominates. By that criteria they should just abolish the Olympics.

That was for you Ogi.

- Elbows15

That was stupid too. Individuals dominating is different than whole countries dominating IMO. Wouldn't you be less entertained by a sports league with 2 teams?

While most of the posters pine for the Finnish Flash to be the 2C the Hawks have been looking for since the days of Tom Lysiak, he is totally the exact opposite of the type of center needed to play with Kane. IMHO. Kane needs a center with size who will drive the net and work the boards.

They teach us tolerance of those less fortunate. Like canucks. There isn't one thing you could educate me on except for being an idiot.
- Elbows15


less fortunate?? in what way?
higher standard of living.
higher average income.
higher education rates
less unemployed
less crime
more liveable cities
etc etc etc

u guys got more people I guess....congratulations?


and say it with me.
"picking a dark horse is NOT the same thing as who we actually think will win and are the favourites" "these are two different things"

It's like you were sitting there all day long, hitting F5 until Elbows finally responded to you! And that's what you waited all day to say?

Kane can succeed with a small skilled centre just was much as he have a big centre. Also, there's no guarantee the lines stay the same once Teravainen arrives. Maybe Q reunites Kane with Sharp and Toews then the puts Saad, Hossa and Teravainen together. There are lots of options for Q, some may work while others may not. People are excited about the possibility of TT being the solution to the 2C vacancy, but most of us realize it's far from a sure thing. We just want to see what he can do.

Did I insult your intelligence, or lack thereof, so bad that you continue to point out an issue I couldn't less about? Picking Finland for a Gold Medal IS picking a dark horse. Do you get it now? Do you comprehend? Need some ehs thrown so it makes sense to your inbred mind? So keep trying to grasp the concept. I sure you can do it. But then, I am an optimist.

Yeah, if you say so. Canada is a real player on the world stage. At the end of the day, you're still a canuck and I get up every morning thanking my forefathers that they had the intelligence to settle in a real country.
