Lets bring the 2018 Winter games back to Calgary for the 30th anniversary of the 88 games and feel it.
Aww I think they’re both equal! Canadians unite!
In 20 years we’ll all look back at Vancouver and think how amazing that was too.
@shadedmuse sorry calgary is not in the bid
Look at the tool at 0:28-0:36 ROFLMFAO!!!!
I was 16 for this, I thought it was so high tech then,lol. I remember the torch relay (thru my hometown) that year too, we were only in highschool. How time flies!
USSR is the best that s why they had excellent results. Im more into USSR hockey then our canadian hockey so exciting to see so structured and highly skilled.
What
the
fuck?
back then they have no sence of fashion
Calgary 1988: Can’t you feel it? The spirit surrounds you!
Vancouver 2010: I believe in the power that comes from a world brought together as one…!
Good job, Canada!
@shadedmuse Calgary tried for 2010 and no word yet on if they will try again, but there is intrest in quebec city hosting for the 2022 games. maybe calgary will try for 2026 games instead.
The guy at 00:28 looks a lot like Russian figure skater Viktor Petrenko – any chance it was him?
@okpapereat
right.. and it had nothing to with the fact the USSR was sending their Pro’s (oh, I’m sorry – technically amatuers cause they were in the “Army”) and other hockey nations were sending guys that couldn’t cut it in the ECHL???
If USSR / Russia is the best, then how come they have no Gold Medals since the tournament allowed all nations to send thier Pro’s in 1998?? (FYI – Canada has won 2/4 of the Gold Medals since then)
@dejar44 Well as a candian who watches hockey, any kind of hockey i like to watch, i seen a few KHL games and they do have good players there skilled alike the NHL. I think other Canadians dont see this often that they think we are the best at hockey which is a big misconseptions. Now about russians not winning any gold medals in olympics, well i think its because of the fall of the USSR they that means that they could not use other former soviet states hockey players.
@dejar44 And yes the Olympics back then sent ECHL players but how do you explain the @ss wooping of the NHL all stars? Had team canada’s pros in 72 till the last minuit?
@okpapereat
yes.. its because of the fall of the USSR.. because Latvia and Belarus are massive hockey powers now.. so much lost talent there..
Russia’s team was stacked with talent this year.. That didn’t stop Canada from bitch slapping them in the Qtr finals..
@okpapereat
I’m sorry – you are bringing up 72?? I thought Canada won Series.. I must be mistaken..
@dejar44 No you have not mistaken, Canada won but how long did it took canada’s professional to win the deciding point was in game 8 54 seconds left to make the decision whos on who will win, and of course canada did but to tell you the truth Canada was out worked. And nowadays canadas professional cannot compare to russians professionals, look at Datsyuk, Kovelchuk, Ovechkin, Semin, Malkin!!!! When was the last time Canada produced players like those?
@dejar44 And all seriousness here, dont even compare Jonathan Toews with me please he is overated, doesnt even have a hundred point season yet.
@okpapereat
how about every year?? Ever watch the world Jr’s??? Canada tends to win Gold in that tournament.. In clusters of 5 years in a row.
The hardware doesn’t lie: 02 Olympic Gold, 10 Olympic Gold, plus all the Canada Cups / World Cup Championships..
Oh – and last time I checked, weren’t all those Russian players you mentioned on the team that got their ass kicked 7-3 by Canada???
also – you lost all credibility saying Toews is over rated.
@dejar44 Well i think Toews is overated, you see no 100 point seasons yet. And can we not talk about the past, i know the past is past russian did not do well in the world juniors the past 5 yrs cause canada keep beating them and you cannot change the past. What were focusing on is right now in the NHL, who can top Ovechkin. Well to do that i will name Canadian players from the 04 draft and give you the statistics
@okpapereat
Right.. Toews is over rated.. He’s only put in a Conn Smythe worthy performance in the playoffs this year (most likely en route to a Stanley Cup win). Lest we forget he was arguably the best player during the Olympic tournament.. (quote from Mike Babcock during the Olympics when asked who he thought who was the best player on the ice – “whoever was playing with Jonathan Toews”)
@okpapereat
As for comparing stats from the 04 draft – you are seriously reaching dude. Do you have any other meaningless stats you would like to pull up? How about players that were born on a tuesday in March? I bet Russia rules in that category..
As for Crosby vs Ove: Ove is certainly one of the most gifted players of all time, but I think the hardware count says it all.. The rest of the stats are just window dressing. In the end people will remember:
Stanley Cups
Crosby 1
Ove 0
Gold Medals
Crosby 1
@dejar44 So your saying the stats dont matter or how well the players preformed, are you saying they dont remember that after all crosby got a cup and ovie dont? So if Ray Bourque never win a stanley cup, in the end people will remember the stanley cup winners more?
Yikes!
