World Cup of Hockey in Toronto. who's going?
 

anyone? Would love to grab a few beers with Toronto webmasters.

Go RUSSIA Go !!!!

What it's in toronto ? Off course I'l drop by ...

Canadian got the best offensvie line ...

St-Louis
Lemieux
Ridchards

cannot get much better

are you going to any of the games?
i have tix, all the way to the final. Can't wait.

When does it start ?

starts on sep 2nd in Minneapolis - russia -USA

Toronto games begin on sep. 4th. Russia - canada...

Russia? What a mess is that team.. nobody wants to play... looks like a bunch of cry babies to me... :2 cents:

Is people in Russia even care btw?

UGH ?!??

The team is one of the beste one ... hockey = probably russia's biggest sport

I didn't even know it was in tdot ... I'l try to fix something :P

lol.. Russia? They have like 5 of their top players that do not want to play... This team lost badly at the olympics in 2002.. they dont have any heart...

And I would guess soccer is their #1 sport... Russians were much more passionate about their team at Euro 04' then they'll be at this summer hockey world championship...

how much are tickets?

i wanna go for sure.

you are an idiot. we won bronze and silver in last two Olympics. yes, some declined the invitation so did Blake, belfour for team Canada.
The team is still stacked with star players and if you look at the roster you'll see that is young mobile team unlike team canada.
:321GFY

clearly youre a fucking idiot

iginla, st louis, lecavalier, richards, sakic, thornton, lemieux = youre fucking owned.

and its a good thing blake and belfour declined.. theyre old and hurt. so shut the fuck up and watch russia gets its ass kicked at the worlds

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

They declined because the were hurt IDIOT!

Russia has NO HEART... They'll get beat by Finland !!

Who's Russia' goalie btw? LOL

lemieux??? One good hit from kasparaitis and old man is in the hospital.

How about you take those guys and match them against kovalaev, kovalchuk, Datsuyk, Afinogenov, yashin...

For fucktard #2. Nabokov is our goalie and his back up is new #1 goalie for Ducks - bryzgalov...

Both of you, when was the last time you watched hockey???/

you've got be fucking kidding me. remind me about game #1 in SLC 2002 against Sweden.. then tell me about the game agains Germany. i bet you don't have a fucking clue what I'm talking about.

Nabokov? LOL.... :( :(

Looks like he is injured!!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

games are sold out. I bought mine on ebay.
They are not cheap for sure.

We will see ... never make predictions too early . But I think canada got the best chances of winning

your goalie still gives NO SHOW to brodeur ...

you do realize that first article is about 4 month old and second is ratings published by Canadian media? Name me one instance when they did NOT rank Canada at #1? They had it ranked like that in Nagono in 98. and what did you get? Big Japanese bukkaki?
Ranking are crap!!! Name last season in NHL when #1 ranked team won the cup?
Didn?t think so?.

BTW: Nobokov is joining the team in Columbus, OH next week?

Probably so, but if we play dynamic and physical game we have a shot. It?s a team sport.
?2004 dream team? comes to mind.
Plus remember, it?s off season, so a lot of it will depend on the form.

Rankings are based on probabilities... Does that mean that a team ranked #1 will finish #1 ? NO... It does mean however that our chances of winning are more than strong..

p.s. This team is MUCH better than the Nagano one... The only team that can beat us is Sweden...

You?re a joke.

Dont be sad.. Russia might finish 3rd if they show some heart....

I don?t care how they finish, as long as they play good. We?re underdogs coming in to this tournament. What would be sad (for you) is for me to bring this topic after its over and serve you some nice crow? and rub it in your face? but I doubt you?ll be willing to reply

I'm not saying you guys don't have a chance . I'm just saying there isn't any goalie comparable to Brodeur right now . He's a lot better then Roy ever was

I never thought Roy is as great as Barry Melrose makes him. He played on 2 great teams with great defense and offence. He came at right time and made his fame. If he was playing for Tampa or Phoenix he would not be anywhere near (numbers wise)?
In my books, Khabibulin is just as good (if not better considering how he turned Lighting franchise around) as Roy? But Nabokov is equally good.

In 1980 we had the best goalie of all times ? Tretiak and still lost?

Do you think you could take a hard shit and actually slide it the whole length of a kockey rink?

This look like it feels good^

There are a couple games in Montreal too.
I'll probably go.

Hossa, Demitra, Satan

Gaborik, Stumpel, Bondra

now, name those goalies...
big big hole there..
