Yea, good game. Esche held the U.S. together for a near-comeback, but Canada showed good hustle.
Looked like the Predators playing the Avs out there.
The jerseys they are wearing, are a tribute to the first olympic gold team from canada, the falcons. so to be as authentic as possible they used Canada instead of names like they did in 1920.

I agree.
I'm actually scouring the net to see if I can find any for sale.
Welcome to the Internet, the HOME of snide/sarcastic remarks where everyone is smarter than you and they simply cannot wait to show you in a demeaning type fashion to make themselves feel big. It happens on every board, chat, or discussion group out there.
But your question was legit and I saw no reason not to post it here.
I once tried to start a discussion about the quality of the new high priced hockey cards in the collecting newsgroup and got flamed like you wouldn't believe.

I believe they said something before the game that the Winnepeg team was the first Canadian team to win a world championship tourny or something like that. Excludes Olympics.

They went out on a limb with the colour scheme, but yeah it looks good. Gotta remember that we were still about 40 years away from our traditional red and white Canada colours in the 20's so anything goes! \

Yeah .... I've kind of noticed that. These people need to get a life. I can't understand the satisfaction they receive in demeaning everyone else. Oh well. Must be a lonely lonely life living in their mother's basement.

I don't want him on 'my' team ... but he's been one of the big vikings in their two raids.
Sundin's been huge (da-dats good), Modin has really matured into primetime stuff (I can cheer for that), and Tellq played a real strong game today (especially huge saves after a goal, and late in the game).

Now do you understand the satisfaction of demeaning others?

Tamil is a beautiful and ancient language spoken in various parts of
the World, predominantly in South India, Sri Lanka, Singapore and
Malaysia. It has so many alphabets (247 to be precise) and hard to
learn.Tamil alphabets application provides information about basic
letters and example words appropriate for those letters along with
