Ice Hockey World Championship 2006

Anyone follows? Which team has the best chance of winning?

I hate this year's Finland's team, it lacks power and scorers. And our #1 goalie injured himself yesterday against Canada.

I think Canada or Russia have the teams to win it. USA is weak again, Sweden isn't that good.

Maybe something else. Another thread ruined. I looked at it like someone had really replied but it was more like someone spammed. Again :evil:

Sorry, I didn't have a lot of time when I made that post. I haven't really been following this (it doesn't get a lot of promotional type stuff here :? ), but I know that Canada's doing good. When are the medal rounds?

I wasn't really full of hope for Sweden as they are missing a fair share of their better players that they had when they took the gold medal in the Olympics; and the 5-2 loss against Slovakia didn't make things better. But after the 6-0 game against USA in the quarterfinals, I'm starting to think that we might be able to make it to the finals.
It'll be a very hard game against Canada though who are playing very well. We'll see how it goes Cable Guy :wink: :)

Man Sweden had a great game. But our first opponent in the semifinals is Belarus :lol: if that's not going to be an easy game Finland deserves nothing.

Wow, after that fight following Canada's third goal, which was just despicable by the way (the fight, not the goal :wink:), Sweden dropped down way too low, and Canada stepped up and played great. I find it very fortunate that Canada didn't get in at least another goal before the end, but that's how it is I suppose.. Congratulations Sweden and tough luck Canada, though with the amount of brilliant young players like Crosby I'm sure they'll do even better in the future..

Wow, Finland whooped Canada 5-0 for the bronze. Too bad they lost the semis so Sweden and Czech will decide the 1st and 2nd place. Not bad...
