Btw, in March 2006, few days after Sweden won the gold medals in Olymic tournament in Turin, I was in Madison Square Garden and watched the game N.Y. Rangers-Toronto. N.Y. Rangers won I think 5:2. Lundqvist was nothing but concrete wall back then. Unfortunately not the same case today...they are loosing 0:3 with Pittsburgh...
Though it was my long-time dream to watch the NHL game on my own eyes, gotta tell you that the atmospere with almost 20.000 people there was a disillusion for me...the hall full of ''so called'' fans- white collars (clerks) chatting about the dollar course and economy, eating the chips and telling WOW when someone hit someone on the ice, oh my god...yep, and 1 beer for 5 dollars, they bastards... nothing to compare to the atmosphere perhabs here in Zlin with 7.000 people attending...

Anyway, who´s your goalie for this World Championship?

Maybe the reason why the game was so so Roman was the fact that u were sittin in the nose bleed section.....

My hope for the Worlds is that Team USA gets in the Medal Round.... Thats all I can expect...

I hope naturally Canada but the in all the worlds suck as most of the big names are still playing in the Stanley Cup . Jagr, Lundquist, Malkin,Hossa , Gonchar, Zetterburg etc . Nothing can match the Stanley Cup I'm sorry to say for the Hockey Purist. The best overall tournament IMHO with the exception of the Olympics is the under 21

I know you´re right. This is what always ****s me. But what can we do, there are another good names in teams as Ovechkin, Elias etc...
Sorry to say PBfoot but I´d like to see also Hamrlik in our team this year. Our head coach is waiting for him. But I know what would it mean for your team...

And BTW Malkin refused to play for a Russian team this year...

Maybe Dan, but I had no choice. A friend of mine bought tickets few days before the game for 50 dollars from some ****ing businessman though the price was 27 dollars...We left subway near to Madison Square Garden 5 minutes before the game and they offered the same tickets for 20 bucks...but who could know it...
When the game was over we wanted to join the Czech players but din´t know where there´s their favourite Czech pub. So we went into the nearest pub and had a nice evening and worse morning the other day
