As a big fan of ice-hockey, I feel obliged to announce that IIHF WM 2011 in Bratislava starts off in 43 days.

The schedule and groups here: http://www.iihf.com/channels-11/iihf...-schedule.html

I thought you were selling a car

As such a big fan, maybe you should have at least mentioned that the IIHF World Women's Championships being held in ZüRICH starts in 30 days (April 16-25 at the Hallenstadion with second site in Winterthur). Check out iihf.com for more info on both events!

Good point!

Turbo-edit: as a big fan of men's ice-hockey .

then you need to go watch the best women's hockey in the world when it's in your back yard so you can go back to just being big fan of hockey

Alright, everybody ready for this? The tournament starts tomorrow, I expect it to be wild.

Canada's got a young team, should be fun to watch.

And I'm looking forward to see more amazing work from "Optimus Reim" since his team hit the golf course before the playoffs this year (as usual).

That first airhook goal by Finland. Sweet Jesus. I'm not even mad Russia lost, since we got to see a goal like that.

Just for the heck of it, once again, just look at this goal

Just mind-blowing.. Mertaranta, the Finnish commentator is also hilarious, so enthusiastic.

Finals game was so intense too, 6-1 Finland Sweden, Lausanne had to endure our heavy partying/yelling during that night
