If Finland meets Canada in the final...

[Geeoff]

Will you feel weird cheering for Lou over Kipper? ?_?

Cheer for the name on the front, not the back.

Team game.

[chalms04]

I'll cheer for Kipper and Hagman when they line up to get their silver medals.

[Blaster86]

Looooooooooou!

[albertGQ]

So far, so good. Two big wins and virtually no accolades for Luigi. I'm cheering for Canada. Cause if we win gold, it won't be because of Booby Lou. He'll be known for going along with the ride. Like Osgood and all his Cup rings.

Perhaps but then people can no longer say he can't win the big game if that were to happen. Winning Olympic Gold would eliminate that argument.

[MikeN]

well this could be good. lol kipper this is Canada we are talking about.

[d_phaneuf]

I don't think that Kipper would be thinking about Calgary in the least if he were playing for Finland against Canada

Pretty sure he would be wanting to win 100% for Finland

so ya cheer for Canada, as someone else said. The front of the shirt not the back

[Fairweather]

Just cheer for Canada. No problems there =)

[Henry Fool]

It doesn't matter. We're going for silver to maintain our highest placement average.

[albertGQ]

Perhaps but then people can no longer say he can't win the big game if that were to happen. Winning Olympic Gold would eliminate that argument.

He'll still have zero Vezinas!! Lol.

[HOOT]

I'd actually feel fine with either result because Canada winning would be sweet and IMHO Kiprusoff deserves every drop of gold in that medal. Of course I will be cheering for Canada (not the blob in the net) but I wouldn't be upset if Kipruland won the tourney.

[SOMBRI2]

i will cheer for Finland because Silver Medal means expectations exceeded. And I will buy a Kipper jersey.

[FanIn80]

I just hope Iggy doesn't tell everyone how to score on Kipper before the game starts. Gold is great and all that, but there's a certain piece of silver out there that is far more valuable.

[jd456]

I was thinking about the same thing for Friday. I don't know what I'd do if Kesler were to score the game winning goal against Kipper. If Finland were to win though, I would go for them to win it all since I'm not Canadian.

2 Flames > 1 Flame... sorry Iggy :bag:

[Rhetts_the_Best]

I will be cheering hard for 7ouongo, until march :D 1st


He'll still have zero Vezinas!! Lol.


He basically won one in my book...as much as i hate luongo he is an incredible goaltender


:poo:

[flames_fan_down_under]

CANADA ALL THE WAY BABY! LOUUU!

So much easier cheering against Finland with Jarko Ruutu on their team too.

[Inferno]

I don't look at it as cheering for Luongo over Kipper at all. It's cheering for Canada over Finland.

[Table 5]

I just hope Iggy doesn't tell everyone how to score on Kipper before the game starts.

Especially since most of the team plays in the Western Conference and goes back to their day jobs next week.

[Vinny01]

I am cheering for Canada but hope Kipper has a valient effort in defeat. Basically I want Kipper and Hagman to keep Finland in the game but by no means do I want them to win it.

I also am pleased that Lou hasn't had to be big for us. You can even argue he has been quite ordinary thus far.

[albertGQ]

I will be cheering hard for 7ouongo, until march :D 1st





He basically won one in my book...as much as i hate luongo he is an incredible goaltender


:poo:

He may have won a Vezina in your books, butnot the NHL's book.

[Scoopdogg]

Obviously Canada. Just because Kipper plays for the fins would never make me cheer for another country other than the one I was born in. If every Calgary Flame happened to play for another country I would still cheer for Canada. Its a no brainer.

[Flame19,289]

Do you cheer a little more for Kipper & Finland against Luongo & Canada if they are playing each other in the Bronze medal game?

[GirlySports]

It would be a bigger dilemna is the game was in Calgary :)

[Rhettzky]

I am going to be cheering for Canada no matter what. Now when it comes to the Finland/US Semi-final.... GO FINLAND!!!

[koop]

If it happens I hope Kipper chokes and gets pulled in the first. Screw Kipper, I'm cheering for Canada.

[Da_Chief]

Canada winning 1-0 with Iggy scoring an unassisted lone goal and Kipper making unbelievable saves and getting the game MVP. But Canada the gold. Also it wouldn't hurt me if Kipper does win it, since the man deserves some sort of championship. I was cheering for him in the world cup after our 04 run, but he lost that too. So it sucks for Kipper.

[Da_Chief]

If it happens I hope Kipper chokes and gets pulled in the first. Screw Kipper, I'm cheering for Canada.

Booo. Kipper don't choke, he choke you!

[OzSome]

I am cheering for Team Canada not Bobby Lou. I would like Kipper and Hagman to do well but not too well though. I will be happy to see 2-1 Team Canada win with Iggy scores 2 goals for Canada and Hagman scores the lone goal for Finland.

[Geeoff]

Cheer for the name on the front, not the back.

Team game.
Well I am cheering for the name on the front, the Flaming C.

More than that, I'm conditioned to love Flames and hate Canucks. I dunno. I'm mostly watching the Olympics because it's really high quality hockey. I don't really have much of an emotional attachment to Team Canada to be honest. I'm cheering for them to win but it's not above my attachment to the Flames.

[mykalberta]

So long as Heatly doesnt matter in the game, I will cheer whole heartedly for Canada.

[Vinny01]

I am cheering for Team Canada not Bobby Lou. I would like Kipper and Hagman to do well but not too well though. I will be happy to see 2-1 Team Canada win with Iggy scores 2 goals for Canada and Hagman scores the lone goal for Finland.


Agreed with the Canadians out shooting Finland 60-10

[Bertuzzied]

It would be better if Finland beat canada 4-3 with Iggy getting the hattrick on 5 minutes of icetime on the 4th line.

[Joborule]

Go Canada and go kipper if that's possible!

Would be sweet if Iggy got the game winning goal against Kipper.

[Russic]

Canada all the way.

[FlamesAddiction]

I don't really give 2 craps about international competetition in hockey, so if Kipper was the only Flame in the game, I would cheer for Finland without hesitation... but I won't cheer against Iginla.

Basically, such a game would be a no lose situation for me as a fan.

[MelBridgeman]

I cheer for Canada, but if we were to lose, the thought of kipper sticking it to Luongo would ease the pain...but having said that I don't want to lose..

[burning_acid1]

If Canada meets Finland, I'll be cheering for Iggy to get a hat trick on Kipper. After all, we has shot on him for years... ;)

[The Yen Man]

In this scenario, I'd cheer for Canada, but I wouldn't actually be that upset if they lost to Finland. So this would be a good game for me to watch because I wouldn't be stressed out about it. Either team wins and I'd be happy.

[Fire]

I'm hoping for a Canada and USA rematch. It would be a much more interesting game to watch. The Finns are quite a boring team.

[Vinny01]

If the Fins beat the States there is a good chance USA won't even medal in hockey so their big win over Canada will realy be all they got.

[mykalberta]

You dont think the US could beat the Slovaks?

[Vinny01]

The US might be the Slovaks but it is by no means a lock. The Slovaks beat both Russia and Sweden, therefore they could beat the USA

[TopChed]

I'll be cheering for Kipper to not tear his groin while accepting his silver medal, if this is the final matchup.

[Bob]

Canada beats Finland: Canada gets gold!
Finland beats Canada: Kipper > Luongo

Win win, either way. ;)

[RandomDad]

Canada all the way of course

If it were to happen and as much as I hate USA hockey, I think I would like to see them win gold over Finland. So Kesler gets a gold medal and Kipper doesn't.

[Vinny01]

What about Sami Salo?

[OILFAN #81]

If Finland meets Canada in the final...

then Finland would get the silver medal.

[Vena]

What about Sami Salo?

I would just pray to God that he doesn't get hurt. He's due again. :whaa:

Canucks fan scenario: In a Canada-US match, I would take no consolation in seeing Kesler win a gold medal and the Canadians winning silver.

All about the flag.

[Canada 02]

Canucks fan scenario: In a Canada-US match, I would take no consolation in seeing Kesler win a gold medal and the Canadians winning silver. that's because Kesler's a ######bag

[RandomDad]

What about Sami Salo?


That be nice and all, but him having a gold medal is not worth seeing Kipprusoff with a gold medal.

[Infamous1]

If Kipper won the gold, this place would be unbearable.....especially if it's over Luongo.

[boogerz]

I would eat my poo for a Finland-Canada final

My two fav hockey nations pouring their hearts out for gold. Intense

[AvengeR]

Agreed with the Canadians out shooting Finland 60-10


I'd rather it be 60-0 for Canada and a 1-0 win. That way, Luigi's shutout won't mean much if he didn't face a single shot.

[vilzeh]

I'm hoping for a Canada and USA rematch. It would be a much more interesting game to watch. The Finns are quite a boring team.

Finns boring, how come? care to elaborate? =D

[Tsawwassen]

I don't think that Kipper would be thinking about Calgary in the least if he were playing for Finland against Canada

Pretty sure he would be wanting to win 100% for Finland

so ya cheer for Canada, as someone else said. The front of the shirt not the back

I see a Canuck crest underneath the Maple Leaf on Luongo's jersey and I see a Flame crest underneath Kiprusoff's jersey. Kiprusoff is the better goalie and above all, he wants to win the Stanley Cup. He will be thinking about his Calgary Flames since he will be playing another big game on Wednesday against the Wild. :D

[Tsawwassen]

If Finland meets Canada in the final...

then Finland would get the silver medal.

I don't know about that. Kiprusoff is better than Luongo.

[Rathji]

I'd actually feel fine with either result because Canada winning would be sweet and IMHO Kiprusoff deserves every drop of gold in that medal. Of course I will be cheering for Canada (not the blob in the net) but I wouldn't be upset if Kipruland won the tourney.

I agree totally.

In fact, I have thought since the Olympics began that the perfect way to win would be for Canada to win 1-0 with Iggy potting the winner with 30 seconds to go with Kipper having the game of his life.

[Erick Estrada]

I don't know about that. Kiprusoff is better than Luongo.

The fact that there's a major talent disparity between the two teams means that Luongo probably won't need to be nearly as good for Canada to win the gold as Kipper would have to be and lets face it Kipper right now is probably the better goaltender.

[Yrebmi]

Anyone else think it is just somehow wrong to see LuuBoo in Red/White and Kipper in Blue/White?
A Can/Fin game would be just awesome. As others have said win win.

[Netskot]

we can still see them play each other, you know?

[chalms04]

we can still see them play each other, you know?
hopefully not

[MrMastodonFarm]

You're an odd little fellow.

I wouldn't be surprised if Backstrom plays the next game.
