Division I games were ... thriller this year. In both groups nothing was clear till the last day and inside of it...

- Latvia was heading to higer level by leading Denmark 2:0. Finally 5:4 win was not enough and Danes came through.
- Great Britain needed a win over Austria and lead the game 2:0, 3:1 ... Loss 3:5 killed their dream.
- Austria climbed to the top ... for awhile. They just needed kazakhstan tolose to Norway. Norway took quick 2:0 lead...
- Kazakhstan came through with 3:2 over Norway!

I can not remember such a competitive stuff ... ever. 5 teams really battling for 2 places. Not only till the final day, but till the final minutes (even seconds) of the games...

Shall we make another guessing game???

I am willing to organize one + put a modest prize...

[ahtikullervo]

Leksand



The old part of Leksand nestles on the banks of the Dalälven River where it flows out of Lake Siljan. From the magnificient 13th century church you can see some of the delightful, picturesque villages which are living reminders of the past with their clusters of red wooden buildings.

There are about one hundred villages in the surrounding area.

Leksand is a town of living traditions - folk costumes, painting, churchboat rowing and, of course, the midsummer festivities centered around the maypole which you can see standing in the centre of every village all year round.



Opened: 2005 (at the same place as the old arena, built 1956)
Audience capacity for sport: 7.650
Boxes: 36 (for up to 24 people)
Sauna-box: Yes (12 people)
Restaurants and bars: 900 guests
Kiosks
Shops

Mora



From time immemorial, Mora has been the centre of northern Dalarna. Here, Swedish history took a significant turn in 1520 when, after a series of adventurous exploits, King Gustav Vasa managed to convince the men of Mora to join the battle against the Danish king.

A marked reminder of these events is the cross-country ski race, the Vasaloppet, which from meagre beginnings in 1922 has grown to become one of world's largest ski events. The Vasaloppet house is home to an exhibition describing the historical background and how the competition has developed over the years.



Opened: 2004 (after an extensive renovation of the old arena built in 1967)
Audience capacity for sport: 4.500
Restaurants and bars: 420 guests

I wonder if Canada will be able to 3-peat. This team is more experienced then last years and they got good returnies like Downie. And we still don't have a positive number 1 starter. I believe its still being fought for Price and Irving.

Well lets see how this all goes. And I really enjoy watching the WJC. It has always been a tradition for me to watch it

And in closing, I am going ot take a Canada/USA final.

Cold water, cruel Christmas gifts unite Canadian juniors on eve of tournament

"There's no better way to get to know your teammate than naked in a cold lake," laughed Canadian head coach Craig Hartsburg. "It was a lot of fun.

"There was an all-in mentality when we started those saunas. Not everybody wanted to get in (the lake), but by the end, everybody got in. That was really impressive. I thought that was a big step."
...
Forward Ryan O'Marra presented defenceman Marc Staal with a flashlight so he could "find his way out from under the shadow of" brothers Jordan and Eric, who are both currently playing in the NHL.

"That was probably the lowest blow of them all," O'Marra admitted. "Marc took it in stride. He can handle it. He's very proud of his brothers."

[Aeryn]

Quite possibly more than I wanted to know about Team Canada.

The flashlight was definitely funny though!
As was the mirror and brush for Letang.
