The Game

The GameThis is the brief column about the World Championship tournament.

Russia confirmed the role of the favorite team - beat the biggest outsider of the quarterfinals. USA had not luck. They lost the game in the final 8 seconds. I wished them the win because it was very hard to sell tickets on WCH games last year in Bratislava to fans from Finland. Was there another big luck for the Czech Republic? I do not think so. Czechs know how to play without superstar names on the roster. The final result is the most important, not the look of the play. And Slovaks? Bravo. Primitive Getzlaf. Idiot of the year. Drunken baby. Party fan. He was drunk few days ago after loss with the team of USA. He shouted on the foreign people. Now, he showed himself in another angle. He destroyed Slovak player with the dirty knee-on-knee attack. Then, everything was decided thanks to big powerplay. Thank you Ryan for your big ego which could not even fit in the ice of the European size. Slovakia will play great derby game with Czechs. Russia will meet Finland in the look-like finale game. This tournament has brought great shocks in the last hours. Let´s see, if it will continue on Sunday.
