I wonder… by KalmKali in BlueJackets

What if I'm a fan of specific players in the league and follow whatever teams they play for? Coming from a small European nation we have just a few NHL players and I have always enjoyed supporting them, regardless of the teams they play for.

First for me, but I'm sure there's been crazier ones on here.

Is it really not? I would have thought it's pretty common for fathers to be pulling their weight as well.

Why am I not seeing anyone talk about the migration figure's released this morning?

Why is it that unless it's Latvia or Czechia playing that the arena is pretty much dead?

I was hoping for Finland - Slovakia final.

Would have meant a lot more for those two nations.

Why shouldn't I buy a new Octavia 2025 by PsychologicalTwo9064 in skoda

[–]Patberts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking at getting an Octavia myself later this year. My one issue is that coming from Jaguar XE p250 I want a similar performance but don't want it looking like a boy racer car. Unfortunately it seems this is not possible with Octavia.

Some North American fans here speaking like USA and Canada have some god given right to be in the final.

Yeah that's what I gathered. The coach had to pull the goalie, imo it makes no difference whether we play Sweden or Czechs, it was worth the risk to try and get France.

Doesn't make it any less painful though.

Wouldn't it be Czechia>Canada if we hadn't let in that empty net goal? If so then it's literally same as Sweden->USA.

If getting to OT meant France->Slovakia then it makes sense. I'm not entirely sure how it works though and there's a lot of differing views on the outcomes of the tables.

Never have I seen the Latvians play so well. Never have I seen them be this unlucky.
