The IIHF World Championships 2013

[Tasku]

So, since no one else has opened a thread for this yet, I'll do it.

Finland managed a bit too close a win for my liking against Germany today, beating them 4-3 in overtime. Meanwhile Switzerland is leading Sweden. Other than that, no major surprises so far.

[CJ]

Well Switzerland won Sweden 3-2. And that's a surprise. Tomorrow we'll see if Finland can manage to beat Slovakia... that'll be a tight game.

Denmark 1 Canada 0 after the first five minutes...

Canada 2 Denmark 1 end of the second...

Canada wins 3-1

[nino33]

Wow...after beating Sweden, the Swiss have now beaten Canada too!

[philou21]

Canada team suck so far, they barely get passed Denmark.

[joehelmer]

Switzerland is really impressive, 8 points in 3 games so far. Yesterday they beat Czech 5-2.

[CJ]

Whatever position Switzerland gets (probably 1st or 2nd in the group) they will meet a tough team that probably beats them in the quarterfinals. But I hope not. Finland has been playing poorly... big problems against France yesterday, eventhough they have 8 points in 3 games. We'll see how it goes against USA tomorrow.
Petri Kontiola 3 games 7 points.

Lol at Russia today.

[Manimal]

and lol at Ole-Kristian Tollefsen for getting his second suspension

[philou21]

Lol at Russia today.

I was wondering what you were talking about this morning until I checked the results.


What did Tollefsen did again? What an idiot!

[CeeBee]

France is quite the hockey powerhouse, no?

[philou21]

Maybe Tony Hand changed his nationality?

[McQwak]

France is quite the hockey powerhouse, no?

It definitely is considering they started their third goalie!

[batdad]

Philou...that would be Antoine Main to you.

And yeah...both Russia and France started third stringer. I think France's third stringer just moved up a notch or two though. LO Freaking L

[Lazion]

Awful refeering by Vinneborg-Croft in Fin-Rus game, just awful.
This tells why Finland managed to take win over Russia.. lol at diving queen Pesonen

[Saapas]

I don't know what the hell happened behind the scenes between the 2nd and 3rd period. I suspect something that includes shady phone calls and money transferring from owner to another

[CJ]

darn that was a tight game.

[joehelmer]

12 hours of hockey today, 4 quarter finals.
The first one, USA-Russia, is in the third period now, USA leads 8-3.

[McQwak]

Yeah, Russians are gone

[Tasku]

Not a good tournament for Russia...

[kabbott50]

Thanks for coming Ovi. At least he got one more game this year.

[Manimal]

Team USA has been really impressive. Hard working, skating and efficient
Same with the Swiss. Roman Josi is playing great hockey

[philou21]

It's done for Canada. Lost in shootout.

[joehelmer]

Fredrik Pettersson's was one of the best I've ever seen. That's how you should do.

[CJ]

I'm glad it's Sweden against Finland instead of Canada. (Will be an awesome nerv-wracking game for us Finns and Swedes) Finland can't really play against Canada that's why I hoped it would be Sweden who would win. And I hope it's Finland vs. Switzerland in the final!
