Hopefully this olympics sparks a boost in hockey there edit: and right as I say they are not bad a drop pass at the defensive blue line results in two slovenians bumping into each other and a loose puck. But no russians near by so they get it back easy | ||

Its funny how fast he forgot 2013 junior hockey World championship :D Also ive always hated Russias hockey team so much. They always come off ass arrogant douchebags to me. Well, the reasoning is probably that the junior world cup players aren't here. Finland's team is kind of aging atm, much like ours a few years ago. It happens to every team, no insult intended. I see Canada and Russia as favorites, Sweden and USA as dark horses. | ||

Well what i meant with the mention of junior championship was that Swedes have so many times said Finland has no chance and then Finland still wins (like 2011 WC and 2013 JWC) Its funny to think that were wiped off the charts because of one game by an arrogant "expert". | ||

Finland is probably the #4 or #5 best team but they are not that much worse than the top teams. i think Finland has more medals than any country ( 3 ) in this event since hte NHL starting letting its players in . | ||

Well Håkan Loob was once told a similar thing, he responded that hockey is played in the rink, not on paper. Sports "journalists" will write shit to get attention, it's not much of a real job. Some very esthetically pleasing hockey from Russia, when they are on the ball, they look almost unbeatable. | ||
