IIHF WC.

[Asher]

That's because Russians are patriots, while Canucks are lazy, selfish and greedy bastards who don't want to play for their banner.

It's because the Russians are sore over their asskicking at the Olympics and think this can redeem them. It can't. They're not playing real competition.

[Asher]

Look at the games, not the standings.
The first period of Russia-Finland, as well as Czech Rep - Canada game was a real warfare and a top class hockey. The rest is bullsh!t.

I haven't seen any of the games. Neither have 99.99% of the hockey-following world.

Why should we bother watching? It's pointless.

Every year I've watched it's been ****ing pathetic compared to the intensity and skill in the NHL playoffs.

[Serb]

Are you watching it now? We had amazing passes and combinations (sorta like Brazilians in football) and Fins hit our post three times in a row within one minute.

[Asher]

No, of course I'm not watching it now.

In addition to being pathetic hockey compared to the NHL, the games are on during the middle of the ****ing workday.

No one watches. No one cares.

Canada is the most hockey-mad country in the world and the IIHF games go on under the radar. That should tell you something.

See you in Sochi.

[Asher]

See you in Sochi.

Yes, Sochi will be the rematch.

This IIHF **** is just...****.

Watch it online instead of chating here.

I'm trying to stay awake, not be put to sleep.

Russia vs Finland. So exciting.

Two countries that couldn't matter less in the world right now, duking it out with the pansified-hockey style the IIHF plays.

[Serb]

Yes, Sochi will be the rematch.

This IIHF **** is just...****.

But untill then, we'll have our revenge at WCs. Send a better team next year.

[Asher]

You can't have revenge when the other guy doesn't show up.

Trust me, the first period was REALLY exciting.

Sidney Crosby
Drew Doughty
Scott Niedermayer
Patrice Bergeron

Resting. He played a lot more games than the Russian stars, by the virtue of him NOT SUCKING IN THE OLYMPICS and playing better hockey in the playoffs, meaning he got 7 more games there too.

The Russians were more rested, since they failed when the games really mattered.
