GDT: 2018 IIHF World Championship

[Synergy27]

I really love the big ice sheet. I wish the nhl would switch back. But that’ll never happen because hitting and tuffness

And more importantly, money. You'd have to remove a lot of prime seating.

Theyd charge more seats. And it might help the shit crowds look fuller.

Canada down 3-1 and the "World Championship is meaningless anyway" posts are already popping up on Twitter

The prime seating wouldn't be removed, it would just move back. But of course in the end, some seats will be removed so it would lead to less revenue.

How is that not goaltender interference on Turris?

And then a powerplay for Canada. Unbelievable

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

Watching the Swiss turtle is much like watching ourselves. Getting dominated but Canada just can't put the puck in the net.

That's it. It's over. Canada will tie it, and win it in OT on the PP after a soft call. Watch it

really bitter for someone who dosen't care.

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

Not bitter at all...just don't get the anti Canada sentiment that always seems to flare up here during international matches. Makes me really wonder who's bitter!

You really don't get it? Honestly? Canada is the primary rival in hockey for the US. Americans who care about hockey will generally root pretty passionately for Canada to lose. It's straightforward and there's really nothing to "get". It's a rivalry and the backbone of sports. Generally the same goes for Russia, and that can actually be worse because of political stuff.

I love Canada. But of course you want them to lose as a USA hockey fan.

If Sweden had achieved the same recent level of dominance, and beaten the USA in as many close important international games of late, it'd be them I would want to lose badly.

Exactly. Outside of hockey, I absolutely adore Canada. I've spent time in every province except NL and Nova Scotia. Awesome country, awesome people. The hockey teams can f*** right off.

Same here. Canada is amazing. Canadian hockey? When they lose, I celebrate. It's like New Zealand in rugby, Brazil or Germany in football.

One thing I've learned about these boards is that you can't make any sort of comment at all after Canada loses, or else everyone assumes that you're bitter and freaking out.

We're free to critique our own and other teams, tournament formats, reffing, or whatever else comes to mind 99% of the time. But after Canada loses, anything we say relating to the tourney will be sneered at for a couple of hours.

Prime time to organize a sock drawer or get extra creative in the kitchen.
