Wow!  What a huge upset!  Congrats to Belurus!  

(Although this should give Canada a much easier trip to the finals.  If they get past the Flying Fins.  Go Teppo and Ossi!!!)

Wow!  I am in shock at that result.  I would never have bet against Sweden.

It is win or die now so it can easily happen to Canada tonight as they play the Fin's.  USA has a better time of it against Germany.

The game I would love to see is Russia vs Czech.

Too bad none of you Swedes made silly bets to fly crappy planes if Sweden lost this game.  :D

At the end of the day, I will be living in Sweden, playing AH, drinking beer and having fun...The Belorussians on the other hand, will be living in a piss-poor country, being brutally opressed by a communist dictator, drinking radioactive water and generally be haveing a miserable time.

(yeah, Im slightly frustrated right now)

The brutal oppression by a Communist dictator must come as some news to citizens of Belarus, since they've democratically elected their head of government since 1995.

LOL

No offence, but you better check your sources on that one. Sure they have "elections", but that is on paper only.

Source is the CIA Factbook, which documents plenty of arbitrary government actions within the context of a democratic regime... mainly in relation to business laws and taxation.

In any event, it's petty to berate a country for beating you in a game.  I mean, it's not their fault your hockey team sucks.  :D

As I said, they have elections, and I suppose that is why they are classed as a democracy. But they have no free media, no real opposition, an old-school-communist "president", you can forget about human rights and individual freedom, they are poorer than dirt, etc etc etc

It puts things in perspective...thats what I meant with my first post. I really shouldn't be squeaking too bad about a lost hockey game, because there are more important things in this world.

And I dont think our hockey team sucks, its frustrating that we wont get to see them play against the US or the Finns...I was kinda looking forward to that.

Sweden.... Buh-Bye......

Never would have guess it though... not even 100 to 1.

Now, if this Canadian team can just crank it up a bit more and get serious with the Finns and Belarus.... who knows.

Dont kid yourself...This will be another crappy Nagano-like tournament.

Im guessing Finland vs Belorussia in one semi, and US-Rus in the other. Finland -Russia in the finals....who would give a f&%¤ who won that one?

Hortland, crack open a cold beer, sit back, and think about that poor Canadian bastard that has to fly a Ju88 for an entire fricking month.;)

Thrawn...you are completely right ofcource. I hope you guys end up with the gold medals, you sure have earned them (and Im thinking about the Ju88 driving by you and sirLoin now, and not to forget Curvals mighty struggle with the Fw190A8)

Just watched Russia-Czech game. Nice revenge for Nagano!

Another match like that one - and I'll watch final in a hospital with a heart attack...

22 minutes penalty for Russia, and 6 minutes for Czechs!... If there was Canada instead of Czechs - they should have removed all the Russians from the field, again for a "wrong stick angle", like in 1981 Canada Cup.

Khabibullin is definetly today's hero!

Belorussians (Bieloroossiya in Russian language, Belarus' in Belorussian) made an outstanding job.

Hortlund, Lukashenko can be a "communist dictator" (which is a standard Western roadkill), but his attention to national hockey team did help ;)

How nice to see both teams from Union State in semifinal! ;)

Watching USA-Germany now, Germans still hold on... Damn, they hold on 3 vs 5!!! Oh, sorry, 1:0...

Keep smoking your rock Boroda. Canada and the US always get the shaft in international hockey.









Gretzky claimed Hamrlik was deliberately attempting to injure Fleury who, minutes earlier, set up Joe Nieuwendyk's game-tying goal.

"The guy should be suspended the rest of tournament, simple as that," Gretzky told reporters at a packed post-game media conference.

"If a Canadian did it or an American player, we'd be hooligans."

Smyth was forechecking another defenceman to the left of the Czech net when Hamrlik hooked him over the right shoulder, then speared him in the stomach.

Hamrlik then skated towards the slot and cross-checked Fleury in the lower back.

"Am I hot? Yeah, I'm hot," said Gretzky, usually one of hockey's most gentlemanly personalities. "I'm tired of people taking shots at Canadian hockey.

"When we do it, we're hooligans. When Europeans do it, it's okay because they're not tough or they're not dirty.

"That's a crock of crap."

And this is Gretzky talking.  I mean he used the word crap for christ sake!!
