We don't seem to have a thread for ice hockey, and since the World Championship games are underway again, with last year's champions Finland as co-hosts, I thought this would be a good time to launch a thread.

I don't expect a whole lot of interest in this, 'cause most tropers don't seem to care very much about sport and if they do, ice hockey is probably among the least popular sports here. Still, we have some Finns and Canadians so maybe we'll get a lively discussion here.

If not, this thread will disappear into the murky depths of the swamps of forgotten Yack Fest threads.

I'm Canadian and therefore obligated to post in this thread!

... I've never played it properly, though. My mom was all unfair and said the equipment was too expensive, and then let my little brother play 3 years later!

I liked playing on the street with my friends, though.

I've never played it. Well, except in school, but I can hardly skate at all so I was useless. And I didn't enjoy it.

I love watching it, though.

I'm a decent skater and my friends all said I'd be good if I ever played properly.

I sort of missed a lot of game-watching this year, though. Barely even know what teams are still in.

Finland 5-2 Switzerland. Finland has now won enough points to qualify fot the play-offs. Still some group stage games left, though, including Canada and the US. We're doing great.
