    Thanks for posting that up helge.

    I would proffer a guess and say there are very few Canadians who give a shite about the World Cup.

    I had thought that this event had long since ceased to exist.

    Additionally the Stanley Cup playoffs are well under way.

    Good luck to the Danes by the way.

    Any ice hockey tournament that includes Italy

    Who's next Zimbabwe?

    Careful, Russel . . . you're sounding a bit like your southern neighbours now with their 'World Series' etc... A tournament that has been going on since early last century is hardly insignificant . . . and why not Italy? Snow, Ice, mountains . . . Italy seems to be a bit better than Canada in fairly well most other sports.

    Thanks, mate

    Denmark beat Sweden 4-3



    First ever WC points against Sweden

    And yes Lom; you probably haven't got your NHL stars playing in the WC

    Neither do we


    What an upset

    Yes why not ?

    Their team used to be filled with canadian and US italians and wasn't too bad

    That Britain is playing is something new, if I am not mistaken

    And we managed to do that with our B team. Never understood why this tournament is played during the Stanley Cup playoffs. Shouldn't World championships have the best players at it?

    Quite right MM. Hopefully soon that situation will be rectified.

    Go Habs! Go Habs go!

    I have no idea what channel for the WC. I can't find it on any one of my 340 channels.

    It's called the world hockey championship, not the world cup. The world cup is is usually played every 3-5 years with no set schedule. It was formerly known as the Canada cup, and includes the best players in the world, unlike this sideshow to please lesser known hockey nations.

    Played during the NHL season, so not the best players and just another sideshow.

    Pickel is correct, in the pantheon of importance we have in first place The Canada Cup, the World Cup at number two and then the "also ran" Spengler Cup, which is always played in Lausanne, Switzerland.(I believe?)
