First thing’s first: So Russia supposedly was a gold medal contender in men’s hockey, but as the Olympic tournament heads to the semifinals; the Rouskies will be heading back than Siberia. The Canadian hockey team, who hadn’t played since losing to the US on Sunday , destroyed Russia last night,
Canada led 3-0 just 13 minutes into the game, 6-1 early in the second period and cruised on in. Russian star Alex Ovechkin was badgered basically into an afterthought.
It was an overwhelming performance. [The] Canadians hadn’t beaten Russia in the Olympics in 50 years. –Tampa Trib.
But the win was overshadowed by this dubious quote from NBC analyst Mike Milbury (left), who took it upon himself to assess the hearts and minds of the Russian squad.
“I was shocked that it was this one-sided. And I was really disappointed that these guys came with their euro-trash game. It was just. No heart, no guts, no nothing there to back it up. I mean Alex Ovechkin was an average player tonight. I know they’re going to bounce back, but to be that poor and to be that intimidated physically by the Canadians, that really shocked me.” –via Stupid Llama.
Whatever. The Russians aren’t as bad as the Serbians, who run around anywhere they go like they own the place. Serbia is like the Jersey Shore of Earth, minus the ripped abs and awesome hair.
“The Canadian hockey team, who hadn’t played since losing to the US on Sunday, destroyed Russia last night.”
The Canadians beat Germany 8-2 on Tuesday.

Euro-trash game? Where they smoking cigarettes and wearing skinny jeans and scarves out on the ice, while sneering at American capitalism?
Eurotrash = hipsters with foreign accents
“the win was overshadowed by this dubious quote from NBC analyst Mike Milbury” – seeing as Milbury’s a functioning retard and nobody gives a shit what he has to say and nobody watches NBC…I doubt anything overshadowed the win.
“The Canadian hockey team, who hadn’t played since losing to the US on Sunday, destroyed Russia last nighT”
Not true. Actually between losing to the US and destroying Russia, they destroyed Germany. I’m beginning to think you don’t care much about hockey.
Also +1 Latress.
Milbury is widely regarded as the worst NHL general manager in the history of the league. He knows precisely jack shit about the sport.
Also I’m an idiot. I should read posts before posting.
Waaaaaah, you messed up a fact irrelevant to the story, waaaah.
UU, they also smell like dead fish and cheese.
Ellis from ‘Die Hard’ could’ve handled Eurotrash like that.

No, that honor belongs to Doug MacLean.
“Eurotrash”? Whats the big deal? Shock jocks, TMZ and entertainment sites commonly and frequently use the term “eurotrash”. What gets me are his awful comments on Dan Boyle’s completely dangerous and illegal hit.
Semin’s hit was clean, through and through. Boyle’s retaliation hit, a slew-foot, was as dirty as they come. They should have tossed this hoser from the tournament. Boyle and his Canadian teammates wouldnt dare try this sort of dirty stuff against the US…they’ll get their clocks cleaned by the bigger, meaner and younger Americans!!!
