    Ya no kidding. I've seen a puck go in from the side of the net (Happened to Hasek in a playoff series buf vs pitts and it even counted).

    Kinda raises the question why even bother having a goal judge (I know Toronto has moved them to the end of the building). He's right behind the net and didn't push his little red button.

    Canada/Russia is getting the obvious love, but Sweden/Slovakia should also be an awesome game.

    How close was that play near the end of the 2nd? That was probably the closest i've ever seen (edit NM, the "world feed" showed conclusive evidence).

    Yeah it definitely had my hopes up. I'm glad the canadians had their little burst of happiness. Since they have had a lack of it lately and all. ;)

    Epic convincing win for team Canada. I'm sure everyone was rooting for Russia, but took our game to them and left little doubt who wanted it more.

    Wheather you hate Canada or love them, you have to admit that was an impressive 60 minutes
