It's that time of the year again. If you're not familiar with the event, head over to
this Wikipedia article to read up the details. In short, the IIHF World Championship tournament begins tomorrow.
Disclaimer: I'm Finnish.
This year the
Group A consists of Sweden, Russia, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Latvia, Norway, Denmark and Kazakhstan. The more interesting (sorry Hugsim)
Group B consists of Canada, Finland, United States, Slovakia, Belarus, France, Germany and Hungary.
I'm naturally cheering for Sweden in Group A and Finland in Group B.
So, Finland is obviously going to take gold, but how do you reckon the rest of the tournament goes?
Which team(s) are you supporting? What kind of preparations have you done for these two weeks of icy entertainment?
I'm planning on reposting all the good stuff from IRC and I encourage other hockey fans to share all the tournament goodies they come across (GIFs, photos and whatnot).
