The world championship in Icehockey has started again.
Sweden one of the favourites as usual, at least in Sweden.😛
Tonight we'll meet the Czech Republic.
But just within 45 mins Great Britain face Norway. Good luck!
Will you follow it?

I would say Ice hockey is bigger than football here. Larger crowds. Personally, I don't follow it. I haven't seen a single league game ever. Only interested in the World Champs if Sweden are involved, especially in the semi and/or Final. |

Used to go and watch Telford Tigers back in the day. Moxey was looking into a basketball and ice hockey team at Stoke at one time. He was a big fan and played basketball himself. Not a basketball fan but saw Michael Jordan play once, he was rather good. Do like ice hockey

I went to watch the Charleston Stingrays around 2008, they are a lower league team. Had quite a bit to drink before the game, stood up and shouted handball when a player from the other team knocked down the puck, my wife told those around us, he's from England. Have to say it was a great experience, great atmosphere, and end to end stuff.

Without you Musik I'd never have known.
How come you're not a fan? Didn't your family watch when you were a kid or something?

Have just watched the World champs a few times, especially if Sweden reaches the final. Then it's worth watching. But don't ask me about stats, I simply have no idea. I don't think I could mention a single player in the team of today. In general I don't like sports with weapons. I'm more into: Football Handball Table tennis Tennis Basket When's the next game? I have to check. Players I've admired include Dzurilla, a goalie from the Czech Rep, P Forsberg, Swedish forward. |

The fundamental problem with ice hockey is that you can never see the puck when someone takes a shot, which is about the only interesting part of it (with the possible exception of the legitimised fighting!) - you only know if someone's scored when the buzzer goes off and the team reacts. I prefer games where you can actually see the ball! Maybe it's different when you're actually there, I don't know, I've never been to a game. It's funny how big handball is on the continent and so small in this country. |

GB lost to USA yesterday 0-3 and lost again 0-6 to Finland today.
They need to beat Latvia and Austria in their last two group games to avoid relegation.
Sweden doing well for musik, beat Finland, current Olympic champions, 3-2 the other day and should make the knock out stages.

I think it helps for team sports if you grew up with fans. I'll watch the NHL with mates if their team is playing and I enjoy it but it does lack something compared with Stoke or England games. I wonder if Swedish league hockey is as raucous as the NHL. The whole palaver around the match was good fun when I went to an LA Kings game. |

I don't know, but I just realised something: the word palaver spells and means the same in both english and swedish. 🙂
Within half an hour the World Champs group stage game US-Sweden begins.
I might see it.
In the background.

GB are out of the championships and are relegated from the elite league.
Gave away 3-1 leads in both the game versus Latvia yesterday and Austria today, losing 4-3 and 5-3 in each game, a win against Austria would have saved them from relegation.
Denmark made history by beating Canada (3-2) for the first time ever, 73 years after their first meeting in 1949 when they lost 47-0.

Sweden are out, unlucky for musik.
They threw away a 3-0 lead v Canada in the Quarter finals, Canada equalised with 1.23 left in normal time after taking off their goalie, Canada won 4-3 in overtime.

Manchester Phoenix used to play ice hockey games at Manchester Arena and used to have big crowds (good Saturday night family entertainment) but about ten years or so ago they moved to Altrincham, much smaller venue and not the same sense of occasion.

Great win for Finland in the final 4-3 in overtime, threw away a 3-1 lead with a minute left in normal time too, a really good final, Canada made a real game of it, end to end stuff.
