LOL what a fuckin' goal. On February 12 2014 22:32 Pandemona wrote: Watching the women's ice hockey atm. I have no idea hockey could be this boring 0.O lol... if u can't get into this then u should prolly stick with X-Country skiing and lawn bowling. more seriously, women's hockey is 1 of the fastest growing women's sports over the past 10 years. 350% growth. compared to the NHL which has grown its revenues by about 30% over that same time period. of course, its easier to grow from almost nothing. | ||

Oh he hit the cone with his skate xD Finished with 1min11sec 1k is all about being able to do the laps. You have many guys who can ride a great first 500m but that last lap just drains everything. You need to be able to stay consistent in that lap. And that's why you see the guys who don't even necessarily start that quick (Davis for example) perform really well. They can finish the last lap without much of a difference. | ||

I could quote the exact same stat sfor Womens football but it just is no where near the level of the mans game. It is also technically miles away from the male game and also 90% slower in terms of passing speed and running speed. The 2nd period was awful hockey for me. Was about 2 shots if you could call them that i saw. 3rd period which i had open in another tab doesn't look as bad as atleast Canada don't look anywhere near as bad as the 2nd anyway. | ||

It's the same with field hockey. I know our female national team (current Oly champs) are on about equal level with the top amateur male teams. Still watch the women though, national pride | ||

Wickenheiser got fuckin' creamed 3 times in the 2nd period. Skate through the high slot with the puck thinkin' you're Eric Lindros and you'll get hit. did you actually watch Canada and USA play Finland? Finland has the best female goalie in the world. She was the cornerstone of a 41 game winning streak by the best women's team in the NCAA. Canada and Finland were tied with 10 minutes left in the 3rd period before breaking the scoreless tie on a bullshit power play. USA lost to Finland in the 4-Nations Cup, and USA lost to sweden in the 2006 olympics. USA defeated Finland 3-1 in a close game in 2014 prelims. But, its more than just these 3 teams. Finland had to go into overtime to defeat the Swiss. the USA/Canada thing may have been true in the 90s. its ancient history now. USA and Canada are the 2 best teams but the difference between them and teams 3-6 has narrowed dramatically in the past 10 years. Try, actually like, watching a game or two before commenting. Onto the actual game. Wickenheiser is such a diver, LOL yes jimmy, no 'hitting' you get 'penalties' for it. i know you are a little 'dense', but incidental contact and scrums are not hits surely you are also familiar with the term 'mostly'. as in can/us are miles above everyone else, and few teams outside of finland/sweden can present consistent competition. when maybe four teams out of all competiting nations are the only ones competitive, it's accurate to say mostly. it's an underdeveloped sport on the international level, which is why it is boring outside of a few match ups e: just so everyone knows, lamprey1/jimmyjayraynor/kelianqatar is a well known troll in the hockey and baseball threads. | ||

i'm never watching another game ever again. LOL seriously though, Hayley Wickenheiser was the best player on Team Canada today. so jimmy's paranoid delusions that Hayley got Dan Church fired are incorrect.

KelianQatar is a woman who lives in the Washington DC Area. i'm male. i'm not jimmy. and a Finn is the best female goalie on the planet. | ||
