Too bad Traugust fell off the map. That goalie made it to the Sabres training camp once. Thomas Larkin is an interesting story too. Marco Insam was almost drafted by the CHL too. I love the Italian azzurri color on the ice. Nice contrast.
You know what the azzurri remind me of? Anyone remember Toronto in Blades of Steel on Nintendo Classic? This post has been edited by Hockey101: May 8 2012, 09:25 AM -------------------- |

One point gives them 3. 2 should definitely clinch it. The way Denmark and norway are playing leads me to believe one will with the head to head matchup between them giving one 4 points and the other 1 if they don't win another game. But then Norway plays Italy so if Italy gets 1 Norway will get 2 and Norway will win the head to head matchup,
Hmm you're right more confusing than I thought. If Italy gets 2 points they SHOULD make it to next year's tourament. It will be tough though to get 2 points with their remaining matchups. But they did beat Denmark which leads me to believe they could take 2 from Norway? All hypothetical. I love this new format. -------------------- Wade Redden is my hero, and shall be revered forever.

So far, the refs are trying to keep Finland in the game with some really questionable calls and pretty blatant non-calls against the U.S. but our guys are having none of that and are up 3-0. Great effort thus far against the reigning gold medal winners, boys. Keep it up.

A Finnish dude created Angry Birds, so I'm sure he gave them permission.
And Yes, suck it Finland. Unfortunately Slovakia is playing France so they will get the second spot meaning if we beat Switzerland we'll have to play Russia or Sweden. Yikes. Go France. EDIT: I'm a retard today. Slovakia only has 4 wins not five (fuck me), so we are in second now. Just win against the Swiss and hold it. Give us Finland again (quarters are playing inter group because I'm fully retarded and forgot the new format).

Also, if Denmark does not get at least 1 point against Latvia they will most likely be relegated. Which is sad considering the immense progress that Federation has made. I have them as the favorite to win the hosting rights for the 2017 tournament (since they withdrew to get Russias support since they were competing for 2016), but being relegated the year before the bids need to get submitted is not good.

USA loses 4-3. Apparently gave up a goal with 8 seconds left.
-------------------- I can come to terms with the senseless violence, I understand that bad things happen to good people and that God doesn't intercede in mortal affairs in the way we might want him to, but what I don't understand is why he dyed his hair red. Doesn't the Joker have green hair? What, was Sally's Beauty Supply out of Electric Lizard Manic Panic or something?

Booooo..............
Swedes are about to lose to the Czechs. I guess i am rooting for the Czechs now. It is kinda funny, though. Canada got their two Canadian teams out of the playoffs in the first round. No playoffs, no Cup. No Worlds.
