Thread: Hockey 2008 Russia - Canada. We are the champions!

Зачем? Этот матч мы не забудем никогда. Выиграть у канадцев, у них дома, в столетие хоккея, после 15 лет поражений! Ничто с этим не сравниться. Тем более такой красивый матч....

I'm really sorry but your talk is a sort of talks for those people who does not believe in Russian ice hockey at all and buried it forever. To remember only the one victory is to accept that there is no more chances for other victories.

But Russian ice hockey is able to win not only once a century but every year. We do remember 2008 and 2009 (yes, if you remember we did it the second time in a row even without Ovi, Malkin and Nabokov), but we also remember the double fail in 2010.

The funny coincidence but this day is a day of Bykov's check-in when his professional team (Salavat) will try for the first time (first time for Bykov as a coach, but not first time for the team "Salavat Yulaev") to qualify for the KHL play-off final series. Seeing the Bykov's Salavat progress we'll see what we can expect for the 2011 world championship.
