BARTLEBY, we also have not-nhl-level players in our team! Understand?

So what?

@BARTLEBY

I saw few of your post and I find it very offending,I don't know from which country do you come(and I don't give a f.....) but pleas be more nice to all other users and teams beside yours!!

I think it will be France and Norway who will be relegated!

I think it'll be France and Italy.

I honestly think Germany's a pretty good team. A very promising team.
I would be shocked if they got relegated.

No wars just realistic

Well if you can think realistic? We had some NHL players in our championship during lockout, and they were no better then some best slovenian players, in fact Manny Malhotra and Brian Willsie were behind most of best slovenians in the scoring board. They just have luck to be born in northern America, they are no better then mayority of european players. See best 100 scorers in NHL, how many europeans is there every year?
Who is a star??
Anze Kopitar is for us as Gretzky, Lemieux or Crosby for Canada.
Razingar is for us as Lindros, Heatley etc. for Canada.
Kristan is our Patrick Roy.

Most of Canadian players in NHL will never be a stars, they are just average players, bit Canada can have at least 100 stars every year, because it is big hockey nation with a lot of players, leagues, rinks and spectators. Slovenia is a country with 6 rinks, 2 pro clubs and appx 700 players in all categories from peewees to veterans. And we are participating on elite championship, that is just world phenomenon, with all respect to Canada and all other teams of course.

maybe Norway and France...

Well, to be quite honest, I think all of the last four should be relegated. Well, I see I don't gonna be popular by stating that but I think none of the last placed in the groups are capable for playing that standard. Maybe would be nice watching only 10 teams with 9 matches for each in a single group, eh?!

Erik the Red

I do nat say that slovenian players are bad. I'm only about 5-1 vs Canada... That is reality, nothing more...

What are you smoking? I guess this forum is full with russians, I just can't get any other explanation how the heck Latvia even got here or how we got 3 votes in this ridiculous poll.

vbyuer, why are you, latvians, always blame russians in all of your troubles? Why do you think, that all voices for Latvia in this poll are russian? Besides, it's just an opinion, why are you so nervous?

Because we are way stronger than any of the other teams mentioned above. Conclusion A: we were included, because of antipathies against us, because everyone with a decent knowledge of hockey knows that we're stronger
Conclusion B: The voters most likely come from Russia, because it's the only country in the world which has strong antipathies against us as a country.

My nerves are just fine.

vbyuer, you are wrong, we have no antipathies against you. Нам на вас глубоко насрать! Your team is surely stronger than that teams, but read this topic carefully from the beginning! The first voice agaist Latvia came from Czech Republic. So what? They dislike you, eh? So calm yourself, and please stop writing on Russian board in latvian, russian or english please! Besides iGor and Ann are from Latvia, but they are welcomed on russian board as anybody else who have brains in his head. So, are we so bad?
