Into the finals in the hockey world championships. It'll be interesting to see if they can beat Canada this time. As you all remember, Canada beat Sweden in the finals last year with a controversial goal. Forsberg looked promising at first, but seemed a bit shaky at the end. |

is forsberg playing with them this year? |
||||||||
|

|
|
yes he is! :) |

..and Lidström from Detroit. |

I pick Sweden to take this thing. They have the best lineup, and the stars care more. So many superstar Canadians just stay at home during these tournaments, it's discouraging. Our lineup is nowhere near as high-calibre as it could be. But they're a good bunch of grinders with lots of heart, they showed it in the win against Finland... maybe having less talent is a blessing in disguise. |

so basically you can just tack on whoever gets eliminated from the playoffs regardless of whether the tournament has started already or not? that seems odd, but i guess i doesn't really bother me or anything... it should be a good final... i bet sweden will win... (i'll be too busy cheering for the Calgary Flames to care all that much, though) |

That has been the curse of the world championships for as long as I can remember. The big stars play NHL play-offs and the rest go to the world championships. That's why there was Canada Cup and now they have World Cup. NHL takes a break and all the superstars are playing for their countries. |

yeah, that should be exciting... (but if it happens at the same time as Euro cup... well i will be watching euro cup, and not hockey :P) |

I think the World Cup is played in February or something and it's not every year. I think even the olympics happen more often. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well they've only had one so far, right? i'm pretty sure it was in the summer... i'm not really sure how regular they are going to be about it... there's going to be one this year... and then who knows when the next one will be.. |
||||||||

The last World Cup was just after the '95-96 season... that was almost 8 years ago! It's insane. I'm not sure how they determine how often that thing is held. I'd prefer to have that every year and just nix the World Championships. I'd care a lot more, all of Canada would. But I'm not sure how Europeans would feel about that. |

I think the introduction of NHL players into the Olympics kind of threw a wrench into the whole World Cup situation. It USED to be the Canada Cup, and it was fairly regular back then. Who can forget '87... |

Canada 5 Sweden 3 They gave us a good scare, though. I thought we were done for when the Swedes went up a couple of goals. But there is no extinguishing the Canadian passion. And we will take the World Cup as well. OWN3D (I wonder if he's really going to go walk away from the NHL?) |

yeah canada won... but i don't really care cause the flames are up 2-0! :) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
They are? Awesome! I wasn't watching the Flames game. I DO care more about the NHL playoffs, but this was a gold medal game and I can live with missing a Game 1. God, I hope Calgary wins the Cup. I'd also be happy with Philly. ANYBODY but some sunny land team like San Jose or Tampa. |

i realized that i've never ever followed hockey when the flames actually made it past the first round, which would explain why i'm so excited :) |

Ha! sweden sucked!! Canada wining this match is as it should be. A bit pissed tho over Rob Niedermayers ugly takling on Forsberg , not very nice . Forsberg have taken to many of those in his career =( |

Atleast I'll get left alone at work (I'm a Finn), but this really was one of those heavy losses. Sweden had them 3 - 1, even if that isn't much in hockey. |
