Some people are still trying to sell it (or maybe some even believe it) like if EHT is some more or less serious competition to play for, to care about... when it is in reality glorified preparation. Nobody gives a **** about who wins it, or about the results.
I really like R. Zaruba but think he's among them, too.

Although, it may be somewhat understandable when EHT games are among the only hockey events that Czech TV still broadcast through the year, together with Maxa liga.

Well, actually it is sad and not for laugh... at least we still have WHC on Czech TV.
