I just thought the same thing

"Few of us have chosen our clubs, they have simply been presented to us; and so as they slip from the Second Division to the Third, or sell their best players, or buy players who you know can't play, . . . we simply curse, go home, worry for a fortnight and then come back to suffer all over again."

Brian Burke will probably still call them out after the game … and I love that strategy … :)

by sabre74kkn on Feb 26, 2010 4:45 PM EST reply actions  

Absolutely.

Its not over yet. Gotta keep them hungry as hell
for sunday!!

I have a thought, but I’m not going to actually say it for another 12 minutes for fear of superstition.

So much for Miller time...

:D

Thats like…110 minutes of no goals?

by actioncuse on Feb 26, 2010 4:55 PM EST reply actions  

Probably more if you count the game before Switzerland.

by TEMSON on Feb 26, 2010 4:56 PM EST up reply actions  

Damn. Wanted another SO. But smart move
Wilson. No need for something stpuid to happen with Miller.

"Hey ey ey ey"

by bflo on Feb 26, 2010 4:56 PM EST reply actions  

They could actually have done this sooner in my opinion.

by TEMSON on Feb 26, 2010 5:01 PM EST up reply actions  

But maybe that’s just because I want Miller to get all the rest he can before he comes back to us.

by TEMSON on Feb 26, 2010 5:01 PM EST up reply actions  

I agree

He already has the Olympic shutout on his resume. Give him some extra rest and play it safe for Sunday

by Andy Boron on Feb 26, 2010 4:57 PM EST reply actions  

Besides

You know Thomas will want to preserve this. There’s still an Olympic semi-final game(maybe not) going on. He’s going to put forth a good effort.

by actioncuse on Feb 26, 2010 4:58 PM EST reply actions  

Bummer, they get one after all.
