Dutchy 0 Posted February 9, 2004 Hello, After all those years of Dutch World Champions in World all-round skating (500m, 1500m, 5km and 10km), is it now one and two for America and the third place for the Netherlands. Congratiolations, Chad Hedrick with your first place. This is in mine country a big sport. And we watch everything and yell for everybody if you are man or woman or Dutch or other nation. If you are fast, we support that. Salute Dutchy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snapple2993 0 Posted February 10, 2004 Ah, and Team USA recently took World Junior Championships for the first time ever in men's hockey (over Canada :P ). Someday we will win all the medals...... nah then it wouldnt be any fun. Did they show the NHL all star game in the Netherlands? PS: I also watch speed skating... best moment ever was last Olympics in short track.... when the Aussie (like 10 lengths behind) took gold when everybody else fell down.... his strategy was pure genious!

Dutchy 0 Posted February 10, 2004 Hello Snapple2993, Icehockey is a (very) small sport here. They never show NHL on tv. I must watch CNN, for a little update about that. But, the team that I support (Flyers Heerenveen) is Champion of the Lowlands. They beat all Dutch and Belgium teams. Never lost a game. But nothing about this on tv, so small (or imported are here soccer and skating) is Icehockey. Shortrack is not what I mean about Speed Skating. What I mean is skating on a 400m track as in Salt Lake City. What you say, was very funny. I saw that moment also on tv by the Olympics. How is the Icehockey season by you Snapple2993?

snapple2993 0 Posted February 10, 2004 We are a very poor team, but hey we go out and represent Florida State in other ways.... like drinking, and hell raising. Our last game is this weekend against the University of Florida. All I can say is that our team has a lot of losses, 1 win and 1 tie. As 1 of the 3 goalies, I am proud to say that I have both that 1 win and tie.... I am the only goalie without a .000% winning percentage... but Hockey is a team sport and we all win and lose together....... Perhaps next year we will be better. They dont have Sports Bars with hockey in Kampen???? To see the North American Hockey games??? What about World and European League Champioships? Can you atleast watch you team on tv or the German DEL??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dutchy 0 Posted February 10, 2004 Sportsbar are typicall America or Canada. We don't have that here. Maybe in Amsterdam, but that is in our opinion a big city. I do know what a sportsbar is. A a sort one in L.A. by the international airport there. We have Eurosport on tv, but mostly what we see is soccer (very populair, but not by me), Rally and motorraces, also the IRL/CART. That is cool. But no Ice-Hockey, only with the Olympics. Eurosport, the name is what is says. It is mostly European sport what you see or what very populair is in Europe. Hopely you will win the last game. Salute Dutchy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dutchy 0 Posted February 10, 2004 hmmm, I see I make a mistake in a line about sportsbar and L.A. It must be, "that I was in a sort of sportsbar by the international airport of L.A." Salute Dutchy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
