I must admit that I am nervous for today's game because I don't think the Americans are going to sneak up on Canada. Ryan Miller is going to have to bring his "A" game in net to beat the Canadians. Cherry is right there are going to be a lot of pucks on net today. The Americans need to play smart, get pucks deep and not give up odd man rushes to the Canadians.
It may be the most anticipated hockey game in Canadian history.
And with national pride at stake — and some serious ice bragging rights on the line — the country’s biggest puckhead has made his prediction.
“I am calling it 5-3 for Team Canada,” declares Don Cherry.
It won’t be long now until we find out.
At 3:15 p.m. Sunday, the country will gather together to watch the gold medal match between Canada and the United States for hockey supremacy.
“It just shows you the interest in hockey, the greatest game in the world,” Cherry said.
And today, he said, Canada will prove once again we are the best at it?
“I am pretty sure we will but it won’t be easy,” said Cherry. “Ryan Miller has been excellent in the American’s goal and has only allowed five goals in five games. They are going to have to earn it.”
The coverage on CTV has been stellar throughout but a lot of hockey fans miss hearing The Coach’s take on each development. He will be back on CBC’s Coach’s Corner next week but American fans will get a taste of Grapes on NBC today.[Toronto Sun ]
I loved his quote how "Ryan Miller is going to see more rubber today then a dead skunk lying on the freeway" (or something like that). He could not even keep a straight face while saying it. Only Don Cherry!
