Why the IIHF WC is important

[Mof]

Nah, seriously, the general feeling here in Sweden is that not many really cares.

In the WC of soccer, or the Olympics, its win or die. The WCH is more like the American Idol. Its fun, you cheer for someone, the WCH is a two week event if Sweden loose I won't loose much sleep.

Or Big Brother. There's an inofficial bacchanalia competition between fans and players. A WCH is never complete without hilarious episodes as in Göteborg 1981, when, was it Mikhailov, drank himself silly, took a car for a drive and crashed against a tree

This is very true, a tad sad but true

But my main point is that people even if people doesn't care that much, they care a 1000 times more about WCH than about the NHL playoffs.

Which is why I claim that it is important.
