TSN's analysts (sp?) are speculating that Mason starting on Friday isn't written in stone, and that Hartsburg is speculating on putting Bernier back in
Switzerland's progress is fun to watch and they will be a country that will challenge traditional hockey countries like Finland and Slovakia even more in the future.
little bit of a setback this year, as they were relegated to Division 1 next year, while Kazakhstan is staying in the top division for a consecutive year for a change

What's the age range for these kids? I work with someone who's son is a sick hockey player and due to my lack of knowledge on the game I just wonder if I'll ever see him on one of these teams

Ok. This kid is only 14 but I guess he's being recruited back east for all these big hockey schools, which, I guess is a pretty big deal him being from California. Dunno
The US really needs to spend more time on preaching a team game here, they need to get past this mentality of being a bunch of sour-pusses when they don't win
although it is amusing to see, since it's anathema to their usual overall arrogance

add bullying to that and it pretty much sums up the reputation Canadian teams have on the international junior scene in hockey. One reason why i root for the more modest Swedes...

How are the Canadians bullies

I don't mean Canadians in general but the hockey teams who come here, especially at young age, tend to think that us euros are so soft that trash talk and stuff like banging the doors of the locker room etc. scares the shit out of us.
They usually have that intimidating attitude, because they know they are good. I never even played in the national team but in junior club tournaments whenever a canadian team was around they made their presence felt by the little things before a game. I know it's a tactic but the affect usually was the opposite and everyone wanted to shut them up on the ice...with little luck usually
This year before the first game against Sweden a couple of Swedish players went to watch Canada's pre game practice and the players started shooting pucks against the glass behind which the Swedes were and shouted insults at them, which probably gave Sweden some extra edge for the game I think.
Not a big deal but just something i don't appreciate that much.
Still I'm hoping for a good and tight game. If Canada wins they've deserved it for sure.

I appreciate your more detailed response, but I must add
if you want to see bullies, find some footage of the 1975-1976 Philadelphia Flyers
you will never use that term to describe another hockey team again

Hehe well there's a difference to bully or to be downright criminal. On the ice Canadians were fair and tough and fun to play against, it was just all that other nonsense...and the dominance on the ice that has made me the bitter old former hockey player i am today
Btw who is in goal for Canada?
If Sweden can withstand the rush (see rush; the band) Canadians usually start the game with they have a good chance, but if Canada takes the lead by 2 goals or more I can't see Sweden having the tools to really challenge after that. Basically Canada wants to strike early to kill the opponents trap and get the momentum going. Sweden will probably just wait for power plays and counter attacks

The ONLY thing better than a glass of beer is tea with Miss McGill
A protuberance of flesh above the waistband of a tight pair of trousers
I went cheap and got the Replica for $90.00
