Calle 16 Posted September 2, 2004 Just wanted to say, that it feels good with so many days until the next game. So we can watch the World cup of Hockey in between our games! Didn´t se England in the tournament though Just kidding! All I really wanted with this post is to find out how the intrest for icehockey is in England? /Calle, in sweden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
susie b 0 Posted September 2, 2004 No offence to the hockey lovers amongst you all but I would rather watch the ODIs (England v India), some US Open tennis and the internationals featuring some of our lads! Wooden sticks never did very much for me...except hurt!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Helsinki canary 240 Posted September 2, 2004 Foppa is king! I will go to Finland V Sweden in HKI on Saturday:w00t I spent 1 year in Örnsköldsvik in the early 90s when Foppa wore the 21 shirt at Kemppahalen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brum Uni Canary 0 Posted September 2, 2004 Don''t knock hockey (the version played on astros - that one on frozen water should always be preceeded by the word ice). If footy hadnt come back to the Beeb this year, they were in discussions to show hockey matches instead.Ok...so my main sport is hockey and I may be a bit biased but I and non-hockey players thought that it was far more interesting to watch than the footy at the Olympics.I have to admit that I play far too much hockey, which prevents me from going to matches like WBA, Villa and Brum, but hey ho...

Calle 16 Posted September 2, 2004 We are expecting him to play in MoDo wearing the number 21 jersey again this season. MoDo will probably have some sort of dreamteam this year! :S But guess what I´ve got? Tickets for their first game of the season, away against Brynäs, here i Gävle!

Calle 16 Posted September 2, 2004 By the way, Helsinki: What a game on saturday...You know I have to ask you something! Have you been able to sleep since the famous game in the 2003 world cup in helsinki? I remember us being 5-1 down, 10 min into the second period, and how did it end up? Oh right, 5-6? Ha ha ha! Looking forward to the game on saturday, should be a great one. Hope Sweden win again, against our "little brother" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stockholm Canary 0 Posted September 2, 2004 I''d also rather watch the ODIs right now, but here in Sweden I''m stuck with Hockey. There have been two World Cup''s this year... can''t get into the sport at all... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
listen (formerly MG7) 0 Posted September 3, 2004 Brum Uni Canary - hockey is a sport that is full of skill, and is great to play. But it will never become a widely watched televised sport, as the action is too hard to follow. The ball is too small (and similarly the puck in Ice Hockey), and therefore the general public as a whole will never widely watch it on television, however much the BBC or anyone else would like to show it.

Calle 16 Posted September 3, 2004 Stockholm canary: Are you drunk? Whats wrong with hockey? Or do you rather watch some football game in the "allsvenska", I think you can compare the swedish top division with the english div 2 or something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Helsinki canary 240 Posted September 3, 2004 As a Norfolk boy exiled here in Helsinki for the time being, I have to say that whether Sweden or Finland wins tomorrow is not of great significance to me. However I reckon Foppa will whip the lions butts from his office behind the goal. Foppa gå på vatten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
