12 men and a puck !

Of course, I followed the Hockey World Championship in Prag.

The Canadian Team gave much joy to every Canadian and the players, having demonstrated their superiority in this game, have every right to be proud of themselves.

During the qualification round the Maple Leaves went undefeated, and, in some cases, they bettered their opponents by large margins, such as 10:0 and 10:1.

Then came the final against their arch enemy on ice, Russia. A country which, on previous rare occasions, had defeated the Canadians.

In the initial stages the game was an even contest, with the Canadians scoring once.

Then, as the news reports had it, and as I saw it on Television, the Canadians gave their Russian opponents „a lesson in hockey“.

A late goal by Russia made the final score 6:1 in favour of, guess who? Canada.

Yes, Yes, I know, there are more important things in life than ice hockey.

In those  Canada stacks up pretty well too. 

Thank you.
