IIHF World Hockey Championships [56k Warning!]

Chaos · May 2, 2008, 11:44 PM

Well i just got back from Game 1 and Canada beat Slovenia 5-1. Team Canada looked very impressive and if not for Slovenia's goaltender it would have easily hit double digits.

**temeteus82** · May 3, 2008, 10:16 AM

I saw the first period on TV in here Slovenia was on it's best. But they don't have the players good enough to beat big hockey teams like Canada or Russia!

Anyway I think that the team Canada looks good and they might meet team Russia in the finals. Our team will beat the living daylights out of team Sweden on the Bronze game

**temeteus82** · May 3, 2008, 10:48 PM

btw. we had same numbers with Germany

Sweden today was looking like they found Z-level team for this tournament...

Chaos · May 4, 2008, 01:31 AM

we have Latvia tomorrow and USA on Tuesday. I will be at both and cant wait it's great hockey!

Chaos · May 4, 2008, 06:14 PM

Almost time to go to the Canada vs Latvia game. The fans from Latvia are so crazy it's amazing watching their dedication to their team even if they don't have a top rated team.

I will post a coupe pics of their fans later tonight after I get home from the game

Big day today, I have diner with the members of Team Canada from 1976, then its time to play Team USA

**temeteus82** · May 6, 2008, 10:28 PM

And it seems that team USA gives some hard time for team Canada....

Chaos · May 6, 2008, 10:50 PM

but just not quite enough 5-4 for the good guys

**temeteus82** · May 9, 2008, 07:38 AM

Nice game from Norway... They almost managed to go overtime with team Canada.

**temeteus82** · May 11, 2008, 11:01 PM

Nice game against team USA. After the game was over USA's players didn't play nice

Tomorrow FIN vs. CAN for the 1st place of the group.... Hard game coming....

Chaos · May 11, 2008, 11:15 PM

yes for sure, you must admit the first goal Finland was given should not have counted as the puck went through a hole in the side of the net

Yeah.. The video referee got banned and I do hope that the same goes for the other two.

Chaos · May 13, 2008, 12:06 AM

Well it looks like the USA gets another shot at the Fins, and yes we owned them in my opinion which doesnt often happen between Canada and Finland

**temeteus82** · May 13, 2008, 08:05 AM

Yeah for some reason they were "sleeping" the whole game...

Chaos · May 13, 2008, 09:44 PM

They better not sleep tomorrow or they have an early flight home

**temeteus82** · May 13, 2008, 10:27 PM

I hope so... btw. Canada did had luck on the 5-1 goal, if the puck hadn't the head of one of our players it would have gone wide

Chaos · May 14, 2008, 12:46 PM

hehehe at least it didnt go through the net. Today is when things count as the Quarter finals are taking place today

**temeteus82** · May 15, 2008, 02:35 AM

bye bye team USA!

**temeteus82** · May 16, 2008, 06:53 PM

man I must say that Russia plays good hockey ...

Canada be warned

mkk · May 16, 2008, 10:41 PM

I'm looking forward to Finland-Sweden in the bronze game.

Though Can-Swe are still playing and it's 1-1 I never expected more than a good game with a loss at the end.

Chaos · May 17, 2008, 12:48 AM

Sweden played well but we hung on for the win. Now it's our arch rivals from Russia for gold. If we can stay out of the penalty box we have a good chance for gold. I was a bit surprised to see LeClaire get the start for us but after seing the majority of their games live, he did earn it imo.

Asmoday · May 17, 2008, 02:18 PM

Canada played a very good game, but Sweden kind of surprised me by their performance seeing that 20 of the "best" players declined to play in the tournament...I hope we can give Finland a run for their money in the Bronzegame...

Chaos · May 17, 2008, 02:33 PM

yeah why did they boycott the National Team... Was it because of the coaching staff or what, i was shocked to see no Naslund or the Sedin twins

I have no idea actually, they claimed minor injuries, and some wanted to be with their families and stuff....but I mean it's the freaking national team, you don't say no to that! Oh well...considering all that, I think we did quite well...

Edit: But I found a new favouritplayer on the Swedish team, Doug Murray...had almost never heard of him before, I guess it is because he went over the pond pretty early and took the long road to the NHL via college and AHL..

You didn't give that!

4-0 for us M. Koivu did nice goal when you played 6 vs. 4 PP

I do hope that Russia shows Canada how good they are!!!

**temeteus82** · May 18, 2008, 06:31 PM

wtf. Canada is killing Russia and the Russians game play is so bad that I feel sick.
