Country:  | Cement dries in a few hours, a good test match will go the whole 5 days, thus, it is not like watching cement dry

Country:  | and i said cricket is dangerous for a NON-CONTACT sport, hockey hardly falls into that catagory  and cricket becomes allot more enjoyable if you're refined enough to apprechaite it

Country:  | To go back a few pages, yes, I love hockey, I still play, and I still coach, and I hate Canadian hockey... Im such a fan that I still frolic with giddyness when remembering the 1980 Olympic Games in Lake Placid, when the USA won the Gold...
As an American playing in the ECHL, there were countless Canadian kids filling roster spot after roster spot on American teams... It seems like u guys up there have some sort of cloning gimmick going on up there...
