2005 IIHF World U18 Championship

[Jovo Cop]

Sweden has good meatballs .

 

[Laurentides]

Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Ranger as we dont have Sydney ..it would only be fair for you guys to play without kessel.

Fair enough............... NOT! We have to take advantage of these opportunites when we can. If Crosby was in this tourney he'd probably have 30 points by now.

Kana should get a game misconduct. Unreal.

First he runs three picks in a row and then that dive.

 

[therealdeal]

SIMPLY EMBARRESING.

 

[Macman]

My God. I can't believe this. I'm speechless.

 

[Jovo Cop]

Now they are having delayed dives ..what a joke
The spinaramma really sells it....is Mike Ribiero Check???

 

[Gee Wally]

KEEP IT ON TOPIC. Anymore EURO-NA bashing will be awarded with points. Keep the thread about the U18 championships, not about how Euro's dive or NA hack away. Just U-18's.

This is the final warning. I dont want to make a 2nd (in altogether a 3rd) thread about the U-18's.

In addition if you are new here ...read the FAQs and rules contained within :

12# Peter Bondra will put up with more than I will.

Heed his directive.

 

[ZombieMatt]

We're also are pretty good at diving...with Heyman, Despatie, etc.......but not nearly as good as this Czech team. This game has been an embarassment to hockey.

 

[Burnaby_Joe*]

Some of those Czech players are unbelievable.

 

[dawgbone]

I missed the slash (or so I thought)... when that guy dropped, I thought Barry Bonds took a Louisville slugger to his wrist or ribs...

but no... he literally tapped him on his upper shoulder...

 

[Jovo Cop]

If Bourdon was check ..well hed still be on the ice spinning.

 

[ktownhockey]

Not in this tournament!

We'll see.. USA has a great team BUT they are together all year long.

Where were they at the U-18 world cup when everyone had there full teams?

 

[therealdeal]

It just keeps getting worse and worse. Why is this condoned by the Czech coach??

 

[Jovo Cop]

If the Czecks play in the final ..the US might as well not dress jack Johnson
Thank god Dion isnt elidgable for this tourney .

 

[ktownhockey]

Of course your the best hockey nation in the world. But is that so strange? In Sweden soccer is waaaay bigger, and we have a population of 9 million where hockey has to battle with a lot of other sports.

Still i think we have done a pretty good job. In Canada you have besides hockey... well.... you have CURLING(which we also have and actually wins the WCs once in a while too) and a lot bigger population..

In Canada kids play everything? We only have 30,000,000 and Basketball, Soccer, Football, Rugby, Curling , baseball, just to name a few, are played by alot of kids and we field fairly competitive teams internationally.

anwyays .....

 

[chicpea*]

Thank goodness Bourdon is ok.

 

[Jovo Cop]

He never said the coach was Check ..he said the check coach .

 

[Jovo Cop]

Its not a good thing to bounce checks in Europe ...oh my god another player is down ..will he be ok

 

[therealdeal]

Uh oh...a czech player is hurt!

 

[Laurentides]

Big hit by Neal.....another Czech INJURED!!!!

 

[Burnaby_Joe*]

The Czechs should throw in the towel.

 

[chicpea*]

Nice save on Bertram using the screen.

Yea, you ROCK in soccer Sorry, its not really fair to compare like that. Hockey is number one in Canada by a far margine. Its not like that in any other country.

I agree with that.
