Rude, sarcastic, and hysterical. Marc, you may not want to read these.

Behind Japan? It's really a disgrace.

Anyway, there's a relegation round that begins tomorrow. We won't finish behind Japan. Well, I hope.

Do you guys have an idea of how many people play hockey in France? It's already unbelievable that we qualify for the World Championships and the Olympics, and have three players signed by NHL teams.

Gotta love the pic of Sebastien Bordeleau. His dentition is like France's defense, lol - full of holes:

Losing 3-0 against Canada was actually a good result. Lhenry, who replaced Huet, is 36/39, 2.44 and 92.31% so far. Not his fault if no one scores. We should be able to beat Kazakhstan and Japan, and perhaps Ukraine. The tournament only starts in the relegation round, usually, for us. Before, we just swallow our pride.

Marc, if you want to feel a little better about the French team, take a look at pgreene's "funniest hockey moment ever" thread. A sure spirit picker-upper!

Sprayed coffee all over my keyboard at that one . . .

that's good stuff. i'm proud of non-traditional hockey countries giving it a go. even if they're terrible, it's cool that they try.

FUCK! France got beaten 5-0 by Kazakhstan! Huet gave up 3 goals in half an hour and got replaced by Lhenry again. Shit. This is embarrassing. We gave up 20 unanswered goals. It's like our soccer team, except it's exactly the contrary: in soccer, our national team has scored 18 unanswered goals in the last games.

I hope we get relegated. It's better to be good in pool B than a disgrace in pool A:

 

LOL! We got beaten 6-2 by Ukraine.

WE SCORED TWO GOALS! WOOHOO!

Bachelet from Gras, and Gras from Bachelet. That means that we only have TWO guys with points so far. Hahahaha!

Lhenry was in goal (16/22), Huet on the bench.

Didn't that loss make sure that France lost its spot in A-tournament and will play in B-tournament next year?

Tomppa, I hope! I hope!  We're a dominating team in pool B, for some reason.

Roger, it's not fair to mock a bunch of handicapped players.
