I'm not normally into sports at all but being Czech, I like to watch the World Hockey Championship. Are you American guys out there watching? We kicked your ass so hard!!! ;-D
Hockey? Isn't that like soccer, but in the snow?

It's like boxing + figure skating.
I thought that was football....?

Football is track + wrestling.
I thought this was going to be a thread about the NHL playoffs. Still can't believe the Flyers got swept. The whole team should be ashamed of the way they played.

Wait wait wait... ...
not only is there actually organized play of this 'hockey' as you call it, but there is more than one championship???
Surely this is madness.
Is there a trophy for being a really good player, or something like that?

They give you like a big cup or something. I think it's for a celebratory toast.
Or for Louie to dip his balls in.

I used to be into the NHL pretty big time, but lost interest for the most part after the league canceled an entire season and ESPN gave up on it.
I only really pay attention to World competitions during the Olympics. Anyway, aren't a lot of the best players in the world busy with the NHL playoffs right now?
Yeah, it's always like that, we're missing some of out best players too.
Well, I don't follow Hockey, but I absolutely love playing it - one of the few sports I was actually quite good at lol.
I remember when the TV put a glowing laser dot on the black hockey-ball thing. That was cool. It felt like TRON.
They also put a glowing fire trail on it, all so Noobs could find the puck.
LAME
Well, to be fair, it is kind of easy to lose track of a black disc on the green grass. They should paint it white with black spots.

Sorry Harmy, but we won. :) Our second World Championship. Awesome final.
And in the time of greatest despair, there shall come a savior, and he shall be known as the Son of the Suns.
Yeah, congrats :-) But I'm quite happy that we at least kicked the Russians' ass for the second time in this championship (7:4) and third place is still nice :-)
Indeed, I was happy that we wouldn't confront Czech again since it was the only team which beat us and they played great hockey. Also it was a dream match, to kick our "beloved" neighbour's butt for the second time in the final! We hate the swedes! :D
