Canada is #1 at producing quality players. You need to take into account that they play at home every other year. Buffalo is about an hour from Toronto, so that is almost like playing in Canada. You get a big home field advantage, especially from the hockey mad fans of Canada. Maybe if more WJCs were in Europe, you wouldn't have 5, maybe 3 instead.
ahhahahaha i think they forget this little fact. And the fact that half the sports they play have no international scope.
Oh such knowledge. You have to be Canadian right?
But if the real tounament starts know, a game that lets you skip a the quarters straight in to the semis has to be worths something?
Wait! I git the answer to that:
Naaah, Canada lost so it doesnt matter.
France went nuts. I thought it was great. Same with the British telecast. They probably always have the best comments after a goal.France was the best, although they had a Canadian with them so it makes sense I guess. Roch Voisine I think it was
Canada= Country of 30 million people
USA= Country of 300 million people
so those 4 swedes would make a bigger difference than Hall, Kane, O'Reilly, Duchene, Seguin or Skinner?
was adam larsson even in this game?
Swedes were superior. It was especially obvious in the OT as Swedish players were just more skillful. As soon as is came to the shootout it was over for Canada.
Sweden was so much better with all the boards battle and puck cycling versus Canadian dominance in meaningless hits.
Congrats Sweden. It was sweet to hear your anthem in this filled arena)
