World Cup of Hockey 2004 (Info, Schedule, Rosters)

Sanderson, thanks (as always) for that info. I was about to ask about that...

What about Maxim Sushinsky for Russia? Same thing?

I noticed that Lecavalier is wearing #4 for Team Canada. I think that's totally lame and unclassy that Canada would give Rob Blake's number away to someone just because he's injured and can't play. He's still technically on the team, just not active... BOOOO Team Canada execs on that one.

I guess that Canada plays in Toronto and USA at St. Paul. If they meet each other the better will have a home match. (so if Canada is 2nd and USA 3rd, the match is at Toronto and if USA is 2nd and Canada 3rd the match is at St. Paul)....

Almost.

The US will play in St. Paul regardless of where they finish in the pool (even if it is against Canada - even if Canada is the higher seed).

This is because Canada get's the home game in the round-robin.

On a different note, Marco Sturm has been named the captain of the German World Cup Team.

Mikko Koivu has been added to Finland's roster, replacing Pirnes(ankle injury)

It would be fun to see him play with Saku.

Great for Sturm! Where'd you hear that? Anyone know about any other captaincies/alternates for teams?

Anyone on Sushinsky?

Ironic... just two days ago I was saying to a friend that Mikko Koivu should have been named to Team Finland... now he is.

Great for Sturm! Where'd you hear that? ....

Buddy of mine in Germany.

The Sharks website is hinting that Nabokov may actually play in the World Cup for Russia after all...

When did you became lazy?

Is it really a certainty that Canada will have home advantage in the QF if they meet USA? I remember reading when the schedule was announced that if the US or Canada faced off in the QF, USA would have home advantage - the reason being that Canada was given home advantage in their first meeting. Anyone else remember reading this?

Someone should try and go team by team showing the line combos.
