Hockey isn't a real sport.
As opposed to Baseball? Where the pitcher takes 5 minutes to scrath his balls, pull his underwar out of his buttcrack, chew 2 pounds of tobacco, spits out an ounce of it, looks for a potential date in the crowd... Then takes 5 more minutes to look at first base to decide what to do about his next pitch, "throw at first, or my fast ball?" all the while looking more beyond first plate for his potential date. Finally decides to throw the ball... STRIKE one. Oh, oh, the runner on first base is looking at the manager doing ten thousand different signs. Pitcher looks at his manager waiting for instructions. Thinks 5 minutes before he decides to look in his glove to make sense of the new code of the day... ENOUGH!!!! Baseball now THAT's a sport!!!!

Nah, I still say Sydney Crosby. In my opinion, Sydney is the most electrifying junior to grace the ice since Gretzky. I can see it coming.. Lemieux, Lindros, Daigle, Lecavalier... Lemieux and Lindros had an impressive presence on the ice, well rounded players but electrifying? Nope. Lemieux went on to do great things in the NHL, Lindros? Cry me a river mommy's boy. Play you fu[b][/b]cking tard/ Daigle? althought impressive to see in the juniors was a total waste of time and talent in the NHL. I still can't believe he was chosen first and before Martin Gendron who lead the LHJMQ in goal scoring that year and never went on to be a regular in the NHL. Now Lecavalier was up there, beat some of Lemieux's records in the LHJMQ but still not at par with the GREAT one when it comes to style. Sydney Crosby have talent, style, speed and finesse that rivals Gretzky on the junior ice.
Team Canada had the best Junior team EVER. outscoring the tournament 41-7 (not too sure, gonna have to pull up the charts again). Through the championship, they never fell behind on an opponent. It's sad to see USA in 4th though, I would have loved to see the great Canada VS USA "war". USA have been a thorn in our "skates" in the past 4-5 years. It's nice to see the competition is shifting from Russia to our Southern neighbour.
To all American players out there, feel proud. You have shown a very competitive side to hockey that was once known only by a handful of countries
