because its 1 game eliminations you'll see inconsistencies every where. in the 2002 Olympics Sweden made Canada look as bad as they've ever looked in international competition in the preliminary round.. i mean.. Sweden chewed 'em up and spit 'em out. then Sweden got eliminated by Belarus. so you just never know. that's how i see it. Sweden could destroy every team they play from here on in .. and i'd only be mildly surprised. | ||

They defeated Sweden and Russia by a combined score of 7-2 and none of the Czech Republic's 7 goals were empty net goals. And lost to the Danes  as a Swiss fan, that made me sad. On the other side, Switzerland can't complain after loosing to Kazakhstan and Norway... | ||

Germany ahead of USA after 7 games. Whoda thunk it? ( the correct english translation `who would've thought that could happen`)  On May 17 2016 18:33 phagga wrote: ...

Neither is Wayne Gretzky. http://nhl.nbcsports.com/2016/04/06/gretzky-laments-the-grinding-game-that-the-nhl-has-become/ I'm cheering for Finland. Leo Komarov is my favourite player. They're probably going to get chewed up by the Canadian defensive system meat grinder today though. | ||

So how is that meat grinder working out? on the other hand this loss allows Can and Rus to be in different sides of the playoff tree. Coincidence? | ||

the Tampa Bay Lightning (NHL) have a taller starting line up than the Toronto Raptors(NBA). If that doesn't scream for a bigger ice surface i don't know what does, bro. | ||

EDIT: PS. There was no NHL broadcast in Russia in 90ies, and i've been live to a lot of games in Moscow. So this is not because i didn't see enough. | ||

they sure look like they mean something when the players celebrate or cry when they lose. | ||

i'm in canada and many of my canadian friends view the event as a breath of fresh air from the NHL boring style of play. So some Canadians like it. TSN, a canadian sports network, puts in a decent amount of cash to produce a solid show and they televise almost every game. so this event means something to canadians and it sure looked like it meant something to Crosby and the boys last year when they won. | ||

i'm just saying what i know from the players and viewers. ofc "nothing" is exaggeration, but really, this is not a big deal. Not saying that its not enjoyable to watch tho. | ||
