He SO favored the Swiss team.
They were hanging on to the swedes like an annoying turd that doesn't want to see the sunshine. When the swedes shook them off - 2 minutes penalty.

When the Swiss goalie shot the puck over the glass, the ref blew for delaying the game. The Swiss coach bitched and the ref said he was wrong. Same thing over and over.

Fuck them. We won at least :)

It sure would be a great final!

And yes, ref sucked tonite!

Bring on the gold medal game!

Canada is in, 4-3 over Russia....just waiting to see who we play tomorrow, Czechs or Swedes!

Congrats Canada |thumb

Looking forward to whoop some Czech ass tomorrow. I'm keeping my fingers crossed at least ;)

It's one nerv wrecking game, it's CRAZY!!

Thanks to beano I didn't miss todays game. Thanks for letting me know it was today and not tomorrow |thumb

Go Canada Go! Kick some Czech ASS!

FUCK!! We ruled the sudden death. But it was a nice Czech goal.

Congrats Czech |thumb

C'mon swedguy...the only good Czech is the one that comes in the mail. |thumb

|haha |haha

Sweden is so out of juice!

When they interviewed the head coach before 2nd period even he complained that we were playing junior league hockey today.

You liked that one? |cool|

6 - 2 to Russia. Don't know if I should laugh, cry or turn off the stupid tube that is showing this madness.

Ouch! I guess the Swedes did indeed run out of gas.

By the way, where is THOMAS?? :D

What a SWEEEET fight at the end of the finals. That's what I like with hockey :D

Czech Republic was definitely the best team |thumb

Canada was soundly beat by the Czech's 3-0....outworked and outplayed |cry|

Any other jokes about our asses? :D |bananna| |bananna| |bananna| |king| |popcorn| |popcorn| |king| |bananna| |pink |pink

Congrats to the Czechs. They obviously were the better team today.

It would have been interesting to see how this game would have turned out if Canada had sent its BEST players though.

Thank you |waves|
No problem, get some videotape from Nagano '98 :D

Ha ha very funny...but if you look back to the previous two world championships, you would see Canadian Gold because those teams had ALL the Best that Canada had to offer.

Anyhow, enjoy it while it lasts.

Well, I would say that the best international matches are when NHL is interupted, like in Nagano or today, when every country can send its best... But anyways, it would not be such a great victory without such a good opponent like Canada, congratulations to the 2nd place.

That's my arguement right there. Canada didn't send their best. Their best are at home sulking that they didn't get paid millions of dollars. I guess it just goes to show where this team's priorities are right now.

anyhow, congrats to the "A" team from Czech Republic. They managed to beat a "C" team from Canada.

I am sorry, that we did not send "C" class players to give Canada a chance, but we do not have any... ;)

Do they use real Swedes on the Sweden team or do they import Canadian players like the US does in the NHL? :D

|couch|

Here.... |couch|

Congrats Czech!

So worth it, I am glad you beat the little babies in Canada!

Well, Sweden did not play very well last nite.
But I think we did a good tournament over all and our new coach did a great job. Something for the future.

Back to lick my wounds.....

LOL! Now that's funny. |thumb

Although I do admire the work ethic and determination of the Czech players and congratulate them on their winning this tournament, they still have a LONG way to go to be compared to Canada's greatness for hockey in general. You didn't see Iginla, Sakic, Foote, Blake, and host of other great players because they are too busy counting their millions.

While we're on the topic, didn't the Czech's lose to Greece (the Euro Champs, by the way) in soccer? :D

Thomas...I honestly thought you were a sportsman. but I guess you are just anti-Canadian. I was born in the US but have lived here in Canada for 33 years now and to hear such a malicious attitude towards Canadian people at all is tragic. :(

There were also a bunch of no shows on this Swedish team as well.

In fact, the only team that was represented by its BEST players, were in fact the Czechs. And for that reason, they deserve to be considered WORLD CHAMPIONS for 2005. Not just on the ice at this tournament, but also in heart and patriotism as well. |thumb

Way to Go Czechs! |headbang|
