But I liked what this guy said: The coach from Sweden was not trash talking but speaking the truth. We didn’t play well and Russia and the Czech Republic probably did give them more trouble than we did Friday. That can happen.Sweden looked very strong and I am happy for that.It is good for hockey.We won’t get better as a hockey nation unless the competition gets better. What I hate most about hockey today is that we are in such a rush to sell it to the States that we have turned it into Roller Derby where violence and cheap shots draw cheers from the crowd. For the sake of the dollar we have sold out the beauty of the fastest and most colorful game in the world.Go to any rink in this country and listen to the trash talk of parents toward refs and players. It is shameful and embarrassing at times.There is no doubt we are the deepest in talent in the world. That is not bragging,that is fact. What we really need to do is put some respect back in this game for players, refs, and opponents.

He’s a great canadien hockey fan who respect other teams and i like that :) Who is this man haha i bet they’re rare in canada :D I want to know who he is hehe

And this guy: You are absolutely right drhoule, Canada has it all. The other teams has to change in their hotel rooms and bussed in their gear to local college rinks while the host nation enjoys personalized locker rooms in NHL rinks with all the amenities, resources, support, fans and media. I don’t think most people recognize the incredible disadvantage these teams has to endure while trying to compete. Canada has better players overall, no doubt, it’s a hockey nation, but there is no need to play these silly games off the ice. It’s not about the lack of resources as you said. 

These two guys speak the truth, canada has a lot of support and everything’s going for them, the other teams, not so much.
