So, the Hockey Junior World Championships are at their final day, and Sweden will get yet ANOTHER chance to beat Canada in the final. We beat them last year in the group stage and then just barely in the final, we took it to overtime and nobody's been that close in ages. So I sincerely hope to be celebrating our victory at about 4am in the morning.
Oh, and Canadians... the point where I told you we have beat you before is so you won't burp out the "you don't stand a chance" before the game's over. We DO have a chance but there is no saying what will happen tonight... wait, I think we can say ONE thing - the boards will buckle from the physical play, nobody on either team will back down an inch.
Game starts 1.30 EST.

Go Sweden!

Go Canada! Put the ball in the basket and win!

Mach said:

Oh please - you can't ride the fence on this one Decide!!

ArielB said:

Pffffft... you only wanted to get out of here before hockey season. Otherwise you might have ended up actually know what this thread is about. But, I have decided that as a show of loyalty to your current country of residency, you root for Canada.


Damn you!

Teacher said:

Sweden

Mach said:

YAYAYAY!!! Less than half an hour away

I will never understand people that take sports this seriously.

Teacher said:

Canada who? I'm rooting for Virginia Tech. The Hokies are my team.

meow85 said:

That's okay

I love you anyway

meow85 said:

Seriously how? You mean to root for a team?

Oh snap We're lucky to just be 1 goal behind after the 1st. Canada's kicking our butt so far.

Teacher said:

Go VT!!!

ArielB said:

Ok... does the term "chicken brain" mean anything to you?

Teacher said:

That's a turkey, honey. Not a chicken.

Canada outplayed us in the first period and did not need to resort to ugly shit, but they did. They have run into our goalie not one, two but THREE times. They are worth less for doing it, and when they were PLAYING so well too. Sad to see, the home of hockey indeed.

And 4th time. This way they don't win the GAME, only the dirty one.

And the refs can't stand up to a Scotiabank Arena full of Canadians, even sadder. This is not sports.

Just accept it. You Swedes suck at hockey. Or well, Canada rules

ArielB said:

Apparently, at least at breaking the rules. Canada, congrats on telling your players it's ok to injure the oposing team's goalie. Congrats on being assholes.

Teacher said:

Well, I've never heard of a hockey game without beating up someone. I thought it was part of the game

so did we win?

emm said:

I think so.
