What you Canadian peeps think about Gretzkys remarks about the way he thinks the world treats Team Canada(Hockey) in the Olympics ?


Mike😉
 
i agree with wayne.........its so true all want us to lose except for the canadian fans.......and he is right if a canadian player did what roman hamrlik did........the reporters would be all over canada giving them the ribbings........canada is always fighting a losing battle from reporters to the other teams and even its own fans.....wayne gretzky has experienced it all and knows what he is talking about
 
well speaking as a Hockey fan such as myself. I was really dissapointed in Gratzky's remarks. You never hear the guy talk like that and when you do hear him speak up it's always with tears in his eyes.
I personally don't think Canadian Team is mistreated. I don't think anyone would waste time hating us. I can say the same about the Russain team. For God's sake, they still show the eposodes of a game that happened 30 years ago where Canada beats the Russian team. GET OVER IT CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So to your question Mike, I don't think Gretsky should say anything if he doesn't have a clue what's he talking about.
And another thing he said that Canada pretty much will wear gold around their necks.... Um... HOW DO YOU KNOW Mr. GRETSKY??????? He doesn't! So then why putting an idea into the heads of the fans so that if they DON'T win, everyone will feel like a loser and blame THE WORLD for their loss.
Blah... totally unnecessary!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We know what everybody says, the thing is , just DO your job boys, WIN WIN WIN and don't worry!
 
I think Wayne Gretzky remarks were so true, none of these European Countries want to see Canada win, they all want to see Canada lose cause Canada is the Power houses in hockey, it's like what Gretzky said, Europeans aren't as tuff as Canadiens and it is so true. Europeans are weak in hockey, Theo Fleury gets Speard while he's on the ground, he get's back up and and he gets crossed checked from behind, why wasn't there a penalty, why wasn't hamrlic ejected from the game and suspend from the Tournament? If it was Fleury that did it, he would have got ejected from the game and suspended from the Tournament, and if a Canadien was to do that, it would have been front page news all over the world. and Gretzky isn't just saying all of this to put things into Canadien fans heads, cause every country was talking shit about Canada, when Gretzky talks the whole world listens and can't say anything to him, cause he is the man of hockey. i'm still wondering how you say Gretzky has no clue what he's talking about.
 
And i can't wait ti'll Canada wins the Gold so every Country and persons that put Canada down shut up.
 
one more thing, since when does Gretzky not speak what's on his mind, he always speaks what's on his mind, i think you have to start watching Hockey more sxychica.
 
Someone said that they keep showing a Hockey game from 30 years ago where canada beat Russia.
The reason they keep showing that game is beacause it was nore then a Hockey game, it's a symbol of victory for the free wold during the Cold war.
 
MtlMangas,
I said that... but I seriously have no idea what u are talking about. It's SPORTS nothing else... if you play a sport and beat ur opponent and claim that the victory is for the country.. you're just one very sad little person. I'm not trying to offend you, but Olympics were not created for such reasons. And I thought everyone knew that.
Toronto_Gino, obviously Gretzky was upset, the game was dirty... I don't know where referies were looking. But saying that EVERYONE dislikes Canada was a bit too GENERAL. And as for your remark for EUROPEAN teams being weaker... hm... remind me if you please.... when was the LAST time Canada won Gold on the Olympics??? 1952 was it? 🙄

let me expalian it better, i didn't say Europeans are weaker as in playing hockey, there not tuff like North Americans, they can't hit like the North Americans, they can play the game as well as Canadies and americans, but there not as phsyical as North Americans,

but sxychica what does every one in the olympics want to do, they all want to win not lose, haven't you seen athletes cry cause they didn't win, so there for it's all about winning, not losing, not just showing up. There are athletes that are there just to participate, but the majority have one thing on there mind and that's to win, and they'll do anything to win.

and also learn how to spell Gretzky's name first before you make a comment about him.
 
u obviously didn't get anything i wrote.... 🙄
and please... do NOT comment me on my spelling... cool?
 
Gretzky's comments were warranted if you ask me. Everybody wants to see Canada lose cause it's 'our' game. But you know what, Canada'll play the game to their best, and they won't play dirty, that's what sets em apart from most of the other teams.
 
did u just hear what Don Cherry said..... 😡
He called Russians QUITTERS and that "we" are better off without them....
And the russian side wants to withdraw the men's hockey team if they will not let figure skaters to RE-perform.... they do not think that TWO gold medals is the way to go.

this is so dumb.....

thoughts? opinions?

I'm personally very dissapointed with BOTH sides... but CHerry is a big mouthed old fart.... RETIRE already.. sheesh.... HE says how he tried to tell everyone what kinda people RUSSIANS are, but since Canada is so "Multicultural" people are blind.... I feel offended!!!!!

and THEREO, i'm playing safe... no one gets offended.... people are just very opinionated here. I've got the control... thanks for watching out. 🙂
 
I don't agree w/what Cherry said (didn't hear, but basing it on what you just said), however, I think the Russians are just crying a little too much. They lost to Canada in that figure skating, it was clear to the entire world out there. If they're not happy w/2 gold medals, then they should give theirs up, cause they were the clear losers. That would be the honorable thing to do, or just shut the hell up and quit whining. 😀
 
that's not what there crying about there crying cause thier skier got tested positive for a banned substance, there just throwing in the figure skating to make it look like the russians are being cheated out.
 
It matters not what they're crying about, they just shouldn't be. If they got caught cheating, well screw em. Cheating's for losers, no matter what nation they're from!
