World Cup of Hockey Prodictions

[disko_007]

anyone looking for tickets??

I got 4 seats together for each game at the ACC in Toronto inside the blueline- nice sightlines...

I've sold all seats for the finals and 2 for the semi-finals...

That leaves the inventory at 4 seats for CAD vs RUS, 4 for RUS vs SVK, 4 for the Quarter Finals, and 2 for the Semi Finals-

email or pm if you're interested-


Oh and my $0.02 ... ... Canada / Sweden in the final with Jovo stealing the puck off Nazzy, rushing the length of the ice and winning in OT-

Depending on how good the goaltending is for sweden.

They have a very steller team with like 4 GOOD CAPTAINS!! Good offense, steller defense, and canada has a weaker defense this time, especially without rob blake

So true Kenji



Hey When Canada play's we should all get together go to a bar or jus get shitterd at sum1's place

Wow thats the first time I've ever heard sedin's and skill in the same sentance i guess I'll try and catch some of the Swed's games

[KenJi]

if the sedins were truly scoring second liners the canucks would have a good 4 steller swedes in naslund, ohlund and the sedins

[krisamata]

it better be canada


we have to prove that we have some talent in sports in this country


fuck the summer olympics its all about the fucking hockey eh!!

[hardstylin]

i need to chill, i couldnt even sleep last night cause i was laying in my bed going over all the teams lineups in my head comin up with match ups, praying that canada wins, hockey will be the death of me!

GO CANADA GO!!!

[krisamata]

Stop beating the dead horse that is our shitty preformance at the olympics

GO CANADA GO!!!!!

[hirshee]

the format of the tourney is rediculous, all the teams shouldn't make the quaterfinals cause the round robin is pretty much useless if teams are not eliminated. Don't get me wrong a team wants to be placed higher but there's not much seperation between them in terms of skill unless ure playin germany.

anyway canada will take it

[KenJi]

^ i know eh, thats why the coaches are saying, you could play 500.(even wins/losses) hockey and still win this tournament.

all you need to win is 3 games. The quarters, semi's, and final.

too bad, but its probably cause of the time 13 days for everything

[KenJi]

if they had more time they could make an elimenation tournament before the quarters

If they hd more time they could make this a true World Cup cause more than 8 nations in the world play hockey even thought some suck big time I think the World Cup of Hockey should go the way the World Cup of Soccer and have this whole build up with qualifying tourneys and crazy shit like that I think that would put a whole new spin on hockey and may be bring the game to parts of the world that have never seen it before and for like 2 weeks every 4 years we'll be cramed into bars going nuts the way the european people do during tourneys like Euro and the World Cup but hey it's just a thought

[KenJi]

Would have to be more than 2 week man.

It would have to be like a month and a half if they were to make it like the world cup. unless they played everyday. We could have it like the Euro Cup where we play each team 3 times than top 2 go of each group goes on to the quarters, than semi's and finals finally.

[CodaDrummer]

Canada and Sweden or Finland final with Canada coming out on top!
