Now how about if the Great October Revolution of 1917 would've never happened and the Grand Duchhy of Finland would've still remained part of Russian Empire with Czar's heir being the Grand Duke of Finland?
How about that? ;)

I was thinking the same thing... :yo: :clap:

If Czechslovakia was still one country, They would be the favourite in every international tournament

Didn't I hear Clement say that only 4 Slovaks were allowed on the Czechslovakia hockey team when the country was still united.

Having 4 Slovaks would help a bit I guess.

Actually russian hockey didn't suffer much (except for discipline and such).... much less than russian football (soccer)
Totally. Out of all those worthless and useless countries that have sprawled in place of USSR (including the so-called "Republic of Kazakhstan" where I was born - so don't anyone accuse me of being nationalist/imperialist), there isn't a single player that can be contributed to team Russia, except for Latvia's Irbe (a better back up than Bryzgalov) and maybe, a big maybe Antropov. Yeah, I'd take Antropov and his checking ability in place of Korky or Kharitonov. Yes, Ozolinsh individually is better than say Zhukov or Vish or Kaspar. But he is not needed at all. He is a Latvian Poti and we already have Gonchar. Enough said.

Soccer is a whole other story. We would need mostly Ukraine.

who wins between these two??

Team Canada or Team French Canada

Some crazy french politicians want exactly that. He wants a separate quebec team. From what I've heard, the olympics wouldn't allow two teams from the same country, but there are some international competitions that would. TSN even did a story about it this season and went around asking the french cdns which team would win and if they'd play for a french cnd team. I think all of them said it'd be interesting, but that they would rather that not happen and they want to play for team canada.

If I remember my political history, wasn't a gripe of the Slovakians that they were not included on the Czech sportsteams? That ethnic Czechs were given priority.

While you are at it, why don't you make the "Nazi Germany at its largest"-team. Also every country that was an ally of Germany should send players. Every Russian player born west of St.Petersburgh-Moscow-Volgograd-line should also play for the team.
I don't remember who is a left winger or a center so this is not very accurate. I am also basing this almost only on points, I can't be bothered to ponder.

So...

Forwards
Kovalchuk (Tver was taken) - Jokinen - Hossa
Heatley (born in Germany :I) - Demitra - Gaborik
Straka - Koivu - Selänne
Nagy - Handzus - Satan

Defence
Visnovsky - Kaberle
Timonen - Zidlicky
Chara - Pitkänen

Goalies
Hasek
Kiprusoff
Vokoun

I mean if you left Politics out of it, but I know you can't really do that in this situation.


Edit: Chara, Visnovsky, Gaborik & Demitra would help alot, I think

Czech rep.
Slovakia will die from joy the day, when they beat us in some really important match. I guess that's the reason why they wanted to split up in the first place - to have the opportunity to beat those arrogant Czechs :D

What? It is just a game? Not in Czecho-Slovakia :sarcasm:

that's simply not true. there'd never been any number allowed slovaks on national team. the fact was that slovak had to be a bit better that czech to make the team. like it or not....that's the way it was.
czech managment, coaches,...a lot czech players. i personaly never made a difference between ruzicka, hrdina, pasek, rusnak,...that was our team and everybody cheered for them.

btw: on WC moskow 86 there were roughly 10 slovaks on team....o man we sucked that year :confused:
