Who cares about tournaments that don't use best players? Like this
year, the second best player in the World, Malkin, is likely to miss.
So will the best defenceman in the world Gonchar and many other top
Russian players. maybe even Russia's goalie Nabokov.
What's im****tant is that when all best players are allowed to play,
Russia, Finland and Chzech R. have won every game that it played
against Canada anywhere in the World outside of North America since
1972, i.e., since their very first meeting 36 years ago. Even though
all these games were reffed by fellow Canadian refs, with few
exceptions when fellow American refs were in charge. No European ref
was ever allowed to ref these games. Why? The official reason that the
NHL gives is that Europeans like you Finns have an incredibly low IQ
and cannot produce decent refs. My opinion is that this is done to
help Canada and USA slash, cross-check, rough and beat up the
opponents with the help of the friendly NHL ref. Who can forget the
2006 Russia-Canada game in the Olympics, when after the intimidating
shutout of Canada by Russia, a Canadian player Lacavalier skated to
his friendly NHL ref and, with tears in his eyes and whining in his
voice complaine dthat the 18-year old Russia boy Malkin had kicked a
snow flake on LeCavalier's ****n, making it a bit wet and endangering
Lecavalier with a possible sore throat, something that horrifies big
Canadian players and their mommies. The ref said that he hadn't seen
that snow-flake-kicking but since Lecavalier was a Canadian player and
was weeping, he allowed LeCavalier make the call for him, and
disqualified Malkin for the semifinal game, teaching Russia that
nobody defeats Canada without punishment from the NHL refs.
BTW, 20 years ago, NHL promised to get lots of European refs work for
the NHL. AFAIK, there is still not a single European ref in the NHL.
There are tons of European players, but no refs and almost no coaches.
Why? Evidently, according to the NHL, all Europeans have the brains of
a retarded donkey. They can play because of their good physical
abilities, but cannot ref or coach because Europeans are genetically
brain dead. Are you, Anton?
Canada's feeling of inferiority is so deep that as soon as it was
announced that the 2014 Olympics will be held in Russia, Bettman said
that the NHL will be "too busy to allow NHL players to compete" in
2014. He however said that NHL will (miraculously!) not be too busy to
play in the 2010 Olympics in Canada in order to give a chance to win
Olympics, and then retire top hockey from the Olympics forever. It
looks like the spirit of the convicted criminal Alan Eagleson is still
ruling his creation - Hockey Canada - and the NHL leader****p.
No other s****t in the world is ruled by such bigotted and ignorant
