I figure that I am the absolutely only person on this board who cares one bit about the World Championships that started on friday. North Americans don't usually care about international hockey, and brits and pinoys, well, doesnt care about hockey at all... Personally I always get a bit hyped up, and here in Finland it seems to be a _huge_ deal.

And since Jannik Hansen has been mentioned in this thread before (by, ahem, me mostly), I'd just like to share a thing of absolute beauty from Friday's opening game between Denmark and Czech Republic:

One more trivia bit I expect CFH to like: The d-man that Hansen absolutely owns there is Kaberle of the Maple Leafs.

Denmark still lost 5-2, but that was a decent and reasonable result on our behalf. The big game for us is tonight, when we take on Italy. Winning this - and we should - and we'll stay in the top division, and we will be playing OG qualification on home ice too.
