Canada with higher amount of shots on goal so far, but the Czechs shots looks more dangerous in the first 5 minutes

Missed the first semifinal, but now back at time for the second one, let s start the totallympics live ticker vs one hell of a match we are going to have. Matt Murray the Canadian goalie celebrating today his birthday facing one of the best playing teams of the tournament but also the most penalized team (43 two minutes penalties already in this tournament by the Czechs) and knowing the fantastic power play efficiency of this Canadian team it´s going to be really interesting to see how the Czechs will held this issue

Thanks. Well now after reading your post I am going to believe and follow the guy more closely then.

Sadly it´s not going to be any soon, because of small arenas capacities. we´ll need to build bigger arenas with around 12000-13000 capacities otherwise we will hardly organize any WCH tournament in the future

Yes this is just so...well, that decision pissed us off that it´s impossible to say how much...becuase I am already more than certain that Belarus will find a way to win in overtime or so against us and destroy our streak of never missing a single Olympic tournament since the independence..and just because IIHF in one of their weak moments promissed the host direct spot to a FOURTH tier hockey nation lol I mean China ? why ? for everything on earth why ? If they wanted so much to show how China is improving in hockey, They should let us play against them a kinds of qualifying match, (Even in Beijing and without our NHLers, I really don´t mind).. But well, it is how it is, hello double digit blowouts, and we all know how China don´t love to be embarassed, they are going to swallow some hard ridicul shames in 2 years.

Awesome. Thanks for the info. But is this really serious ? I mean, is this REALLY POSSIBLE for him to qualify, or rather the chance to not qualify is much higher ?

2011 all over again ? Congrats ! what a achievement for this team to keep the Super team scoreless
