IIHF Therad

Oh, wait a second. I just get it.
You were talking about women hockey as one of the "highest-calibre-player" tournaments, right?




WOW! That was really your last resort, dude.

.

Kids and girls - that's everything what Canada can be proud of in hockey!

MUAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Now you are completely self-destructed!

[Asher]

I did not once mention women in this thread.

You are really losing it, my friend. :shamenod:

[Serb]

Oh, be serious.

The only time these tournaments say anything is when the best from each country go up and play against eachother.

When the tournaments take place, for example, DURING THE NHL PLAYOFFS...the best hockey players in the world are NOT playing. Which means the games are far from decisive. They're meant only for casual amusement only, nothing to take seriously.

DON'T YOU HAVE A BREAK IN NHL PLAY-OFFs when the OLYMPICS?

[Asher]

DON'T YOU HAVE A BREAK IN NHL PLAY-OFFs when the OLYMPICS?

Yes, which is why I said the Olympics is a very relevant tournament and I lamented the fact that Hockey Canada massively ****ed up the team selection last time.

[Serb]

I did not once mention women in this thread.

In this case, would you please explain what did you mean by saying this:

Canada has won 2 of the last 3 major "highest-calibre-player" tournaments

You are really losing it, my friend. :shamenod:

Anyone with a half-functioning brain can do a simple google check and see that Russia beat Canada at the last senior WC held in Canada in 2008; beat Canada at the last Olympics in 2006; lost to Canada at the last JUNIOR WC held in Canada in 2008; beat Canada throughout the entire Olympic history 8 or 9 times (vs. a single defeat) and then make his own conclusion about who is ACTUALLY LOSING IT.

[Asher]

In this case, would you please explain what did you mean by saying this:

World Cup (Canada wins)
World Junior (Canada wins)
Olympics (Russia wins)

Anyone with a half-functioning brain can do a simple google check and see that Russia beat Canada at the last senior WC held in Canada in 2008

The "world championship" is meaningless to anyone who knows anything about hockey.

The World Cup means more. Canada won that.

And it's not just the "last world junior in Canada" you lost. You've lost the last five World Juniors to Canada.

[Serb]

A pitty excuses, as always.
Not just the last time. WE PWN YOU 8 or 9:1 in OVERALL STATISTIC.

Basically that means we PWN you almost EVERYTIME WE MEET AT OLYMPICS (nine times out of ten).

Try to deny that (thus you will force me to do a google search and find you a link, which I don't want to, 'cause I know that I am absolutely RIGHT here (and you know that too, 'cause we already talked about that, and I've already gave you that link).

As much as I love to give you the attention you demand, this is getting a bit sad.

No one cares about the IIHF. Time to get over it.

[Asher]

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

[Serb]

World Cup (Canada wins)

Wow! You mean a tournament that appeared from nowhere and which future and importance is quite uncertain?

World Junior (Canada wins)

I give you that. That was indeed a dramatic game, a suddent death and your win in OT. A trully classic clash of the giants.

Olympics (Russia wins)

No sh!t, Sherlock.

The "world championship" is meaningless to anyone who knows anything about hockey.

Oh yeah, sure, but the JUNIOR World Championship surely means more - :lol

The World Cup means more. Canada won that.

The so-called World Cup is nothing more than a bunch of friendlies. Simple as that.

And it's not just the "last world junior in Canada" you lost. You've lost the last five World Juniors to Canada.

Oh yeah, you've won a juniors WC, but lost a senior WC and Olympics. I see now.
You can be proud. :lol

(not to mention you lose to us everytime we meet at the Olympics (where you can't hide behind your "our best players didn't play" argument. Like we always have our best players at WC:ironic: ) Where is Ovechkin, Malkin, Datsuk, Nabokov, etc, etc, etc,? In our national team? Nope, they are not. But still you are whining like a girl - "you beat us only 'cause our best plyears are busy". But you don't give a sh!t that our best players are busy too.

I'm tired of your crap, Asher. Really tierd. Despite all your talent for bullsh!ting people (some call semantics), you can't win this battle, because the basic (and easily checked FACTS) are against you.

That's all. Case closed.

[Asher]

It's a tournament that dates back to 1976...

You really do know nothing of hockey.

Hint: Before 96, it was called the "Canada Cup". That's how awesome we are.

If you don't trust to the International Olympic Committee and the International Ice Hockey Federation, then give me your own (I suppose more creditable source :ironic: ) about Olympic "victories" of Canada vs. Russia.

In fact, I doubt you can't recall a single victory over Russia, because the last and the only such victory occured in 50s, iirc. The other 8 (or 9) times WE were victorious at Olympics. We PWN you EVERYTIME we meet at Olympics (ok, 9 out of ten times). Simple as that.
And you have to live with that knowledge, boy - WE PWN YA. PERIOD.

[Asher]

You don't understand We own you. That's why the USSR crumbled.

You lost. Everything.

That was exactly what I meant by saying it's appeared from nowhere (from the dark ages I meant). You may consider it as another atribute of the cold war. It completely lost its meaning now - just a bunch of friendlies.

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