IIHF Therad

[Asher]

I'm still not sure you comprehend this: Canada doesn't care about IIHF tournaments. That's because we have a real hockey league -- the NHL. The IIHF coincides with real hockey, the NHL playoffs.

Very few people watch the IIHF games here. If it's big in Russia and you think it's big everywhere else, it's not. IIHFs are actually LESS important than "friendlies". They're more of a humourous distraction for people whose NHL teams were eliminated.

[Serb]

It was far more competitive and meaningful than these IIHF games. Both countries sent their best players, unlike the IIHF games.

:LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL:::
That's why it wasn't held between 1996 to 2004? And will not be held untill 2011 now? And don't tell me we sent our best players in 1996 and 2004 - you'll give me another big laugh then. Face it dude, - IT'S nothing more than just a BUNCH OF FRIENDLIES BETWEEN A SECOND GRADE PLAYERS.
It's nothing of it has been in times of Cold War. Just a frienfly tournament, nobody cares about (aside world championship).

[Serb]

The IIHF is to the hockey world what MiGs are today to modern militaries -- amusing distractions.

The best you have to oppose to our Migs is the greatest outburst of Canadian engineering thought of all times - velcro.
Good luck with defeating our top class jet with your gadget.

When you will learn how to build modern jet fighters - then we will talk.

It's commonly known that MiGs were reversed engineered from the Canadian Avro Arrow.

Serb, it's one of my pet peeves when people point out obvious things to me.

[notyoueither]

Coming for you, Ivan.

[onodera]

Coming for you, Ivan.

I'm not Ivan, buddy.

[onodera]

We won. Serb in 3...2...1...

[notyoueither]

Damn.

Brys came up big. Oh well.

Asher must've convinced the Canadian side that the title wasn't very important. Again.

This is a fact. No one in Canada cares about this. Note how the NHL Playoff threads are active and this is a ghost-town except for the trolls of Serb...

It's a meaningless championship no one pays attention to outside of Russia.

[notyoueither]

I watched the game.

It was a good game, except for the Canadian shooting.

[Asher]

I honestly didn't even know it was on til I saw it at the tail-end of TSN highlights while at dinner tonight.

[notyoueither]

A Canada-Russia gold medal game is to be looked forward to, even if some of the best players from both sides are not there.
