Anyone notice how unfair the International Ice Hockey Championship is to Canada and to some degree the United States?  I mean sure they have without a doubt the most wins of any nation, but its scheduled during the Stanley Cup playoffs.  Most NHL teams are composed primarily of Canadians.  They really cannot send thier best to the Ice Hockey Championship as a result.  I think they should reschedule it for June, that way there will be all year round Ice Hockey.

So what, there are no Russians, Swedes, Fins, etc. in the playoffs right now?  It's not unfair because the US and Canada don't even care about the tournament.

Youre only as strong as the tables you dance on,
the drinks you mix, and the friends you roll with

Dont agree Canada is always in the finals so I dont see how it can affect them
