While we're on the topic, didn't the Czech's lose to Greece (the Euro Champs, by the way) in soccer? 
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.
Way to Go Czechs!  |
I love hockey and I have played for 25+ years myself.
You are so right, Canada is a great hockeynation but I really think they act like little babies when things arent going their way. Whats up with starting a fight with less than a minute left of the final?
I understand if they are frustrated but come on..
Ever seen The Great One act like that?
Yes, we sure did miss Forsberg, Sundin, Näslund, Lidström.....
Maybe if the get paid they will come!?!
