    I pick Slovakia, although they had poor performance against Sweden during the trial round.

    Most teams are &#39;stacked&#39; but Canada is uber &#39;stacked&#39;. All you can think when you see their roster is, "Omg, omg, omg&#33;"

    meh, I wouldn&#39;t put it this way. Canada could do much better better. In terms of offense, though, Canada lags behind Slovakia

    I just want some hockey. I need hockey. What the NHL and the NHLPA have done hockey fans is beyond words.

    I voted for russia because first of all i&#39;m russian.Second russia always been a good competitive team. Also the canadian team could do much better with their team.Today they won with a score of 6:4 against latvia which is unusual for canada who always dominated the tournaments. About the question if we have wc hockey in canada , yes. :grin

    I guess Canada or Czech Republic will make it up, but maybe another team is surprising me and proofing me wrong

    Yeah I get the FA cup on TSN aswell, but all the smaller obscure leagues and games are on Fox Sports World, which I would die without. SPL, German Bundesliga... love it. More on topic - I dont know enough about hockey to contribute anything meaningful, I will cheer for Canada, and if they lose I cheer for Finland. That is until Ireland gets a good hockey team, LOL :rolleyes

    Here is the link.

    There was once a slovak site that offered this service for 10 to 20 dollars. Now this new site controls the license and charges 4 per game. Though if you really like hockey 4 bucks is nothing.

    And BTW, Palffy is on the team. As well as Gaborik, Hossa, Demitra, Satan, etc.

    Many of our best players are not in, but the team seems dedicated, ready to pursue the gold medal.
    The common culture of a tribe is a sign of its inner cohesion. But tribes are vanishing from the modern world, as are all forms of traditional society. Customs, practices, festivals, rituals and beliefs have acquired a flut and half-hearted quality which reflects our nomadic and rootless existence, predicated as we are on the global air-waves.

    Just in:

    Russians managed to tie Slovaks in the last 2 min. The score 3:3.

    So at this point the poll results don&#39;t reflect the actual performance. We shall see as the championship progresses.

    Those lucky Russians.

    Russia vs. Slovakia was a good game&#33; Excellent hockey, at least what I saw from the summary.

    Finland vs. Ukraine was pretty basic. The Ukrainians did a good job and managed to stay in the game until about half way through the third period, when they started taking unnecessary penalties and Finland managed to make the score 4-1.

    the word "canada" literally means "to own hockey" or "hockey pwnage" in 53 different languages.

    lol

    I must admit, Canada does have a huge advantage over any other nation because of our hockey programs and emphasis on hockey in general. That all starts when your young over here. Basically, if you don&#39;t play hockey your not cool and you won&#39;t lose your virginity until your twenty which allows for a massive interest in the sport. As for this years WC I couldnt be more excited since NHL and all that jazz. I have a feeling that the Canadian team may not fare to well and if they do manage to win, they will have had some close games. That all depends on the attitude of the players and that will boil down to two scenarios.

    1) They will do what they always do and haul major ****** to get the gold.
    2) The lack of NHL will have relaxed certain players and their performance will be hindered.

    I personally want the 1st to happen simply for some better hockey games but like I said, it will be interesting to see what happens.

    I would love for SLovakia and Czechs to repeat the St. Petersburgh final. We should win this time.

    DO TOHO SLOVENSKO&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;
