The title for "tick"
Postolimpiysky hockey championship was needed only to Russia and Germany
Dmitry Ledashin
On a day when you get this number "our version" would already be aware of the final outcome of the World Hockey Championship, which ended Sunday night in Germany. But for the Russian fans his main result was the victory of our team in the quarterfinals of the Canadians - 5:2. Vyacheslav Bykov's wards have a convincing revenge from the pioneers of the game for crushing defeat at the same stage the Olympics in Vancouver. It seems that the Russian team reaffirmed its strength, that's only current Olympic champions as this would not have noticed ...
At the World Championships in Germany in the "maple leaf" came just one hockey player who played in the victory for Canada's home Olympic tournament - Corey Perry. Head coach Craig MacTavish North Americans and general manager, Mark Messier was brought to Germany almost junior staff, explaining that neobstrelyannoy youth was time to harden in the battles with the strongest European teams ...
Canadians could afford it, after the best players in the country confidently won the home Olympic tournament and won the title, which compared with a title of world champion pulls on eternity. And indeed, Olympic champions in any sport are not prefixed by "ex". Having achieved such success, any pros in the West may be with peace of mind to hang on a nail skates, boots or spike. Dividends from the possession of the Olympic title he secured for life.
After a two-week break, associated with the Olympics, the attention of the North American sporting public is completely shifted to the regular season and Stanley Cup in the National Hockey League. That ring is the Stanley Cup champions for any self-respecting pro second (if not first!) For the prestigious prize after the Olympic medals. In Canada and the U.S. attitude towards the world championship has traditionally not too serious, but the Europeans seem increasingly see it as a side tournament.
A typical episode began with Sidney Crosby, the leader of Canada's Olympic team and last year's Stanley Cup champions club "Pittsburgh Penguins". After the defeat of the Penguins "in the current draw of the NHL playoffs leading striker" maple leaf "in Germany did not go as distinct from its partners in the club Russians Evgeni Malkin and Sergei Gonchar. Crosby And it does not even began to publicly explain the press and the fans, why he did not want to play for Canada in Germany. And the audience, in turn, not much and insisted on explanations, precisely because all of Sydney and all proved in February in Vancouver, the Olympic ...
But the explanation demanded from their fellow citizens, acting in the NHL, Jaromir Jagr great. Czech veteran, finishing his playing career in the Omsk Avangard, very critical of Czech legionnaires of the National Hockey League, which refused to coach Vladimir Ruzicka in support of the World Cup.
Jagr noted that the need to repay his country and his predecessors, who, seeking success in the national team, provided the current generation of Czech hockey opportunity to earn well over the ocean. And cited the example of the command of Russia, which for the world championships team assembled that can compete with the Olympic.
Our team came almost all the stars have lost their chance to compete for the Stanley Cup - Alexander Ovechkin, Semen Varlamov, Alexander Semin of the Washington Capitals and Ilya Kovalchuk of the New Jersey Devils, Pavel Datsyuk of the Detroit Red Wings, Evgeni Malkin and Sergei Gonchar from the Pittsburgh Penguins' Maxim Afinogenov of the Atlanta Tresherz, Alexander Frolov of the Los Angeles Kings ... Refused a leading goalie Ilya Bryzgalov, who in games for the Phoenix Coyotes' got a slight injury ...
But we must recognize that in the team led by Vyacheslav Bykov and Igor Zakharkin unlike Ruzicka team for the past three years created almost unique atmosphere of mutual trust, so go play for the national team, our players really want.
... Defeat the Czechs in the quarterfinals of the Olympics Finns (0:2) does not go to any comparison with Russian disgrace in a match against Canada, but their team also has something to prove after failing in Vancouver. But if all our superstars did not hesitate to come to Germany for revenge, the majority of Czech players prefer the World Cup banal rest after a difficult season in the NHL ...
Course, defeat the Czechs in the quarterfinals of the Olympics Finns (0:2) is not in any way be compared with Russia's disgrace in the match against Canada, but the team also has something to prove after failing in Vancouver. But if all our superstars, do not hesitate, come to Germany for revenge, the majority of Czech players prefer the World Cup banal rest after a hard season in the NHL ...
What is there then talk about who played in the Olympic final of the Americans! Team USA at this World Cup has been so variegated and impersonal, that managed to blow in Germany hosts the tournament and the Danes! And had the U.S. "Dream Team" after winning Olympic silver fight for survival in the elite division of the world hockey teams from Kazakhstan, Italy and France ...
It should be noted that the trend of massive failures of games for the national teams in tournaments postolimpiyskih worries and guide the International Hockey Federation (IIHF). For example, the director of communications Simon IIHF Schamburg made a number of criticisms of the players refused to travel to Germany.
"Ice hockey players who refuse to represent his country at the world championship without a good reason to turn its back not only to the team and fans, but also to the national system, which made them rich and famous. They should be helping their country, but do not. Repeatedly we hear that represent his country - most of the players are proud of every time wear form the national team. However, it turns out that the honor and pride are manifested very selective, "- says Mr. Schamburg.
The official also said that in 2010 the number of conscientious objectors unusually high: 100 to 120 players who could speak at the world championship, have abandoned the idea. That is, in Germany did not come about five complete compositions of the leading teams! Shimon Schamburg emotionally chastised the guilty: "How can a tired young player who just flew out of the playoffs in your league? Tire of those who worked in a mine in the Donbass, the white light does not see and contains a family of five, who huddled in a two-room apartment. In his address to the hockey players Schamburg highlighted the already mentioned Crosby, Swedes Henrik Zetterberg, Nicklas Bekstrema and some other well-known masters.
Higher ranks of international hockey can be arbitrarily long throw lightning refuseniks, but there are at least two very good reasons that make the words functionaries empty. First, the system of international hockey long ago set up so that the center of force is not the headquarters of the IIHF, and office management NHL. Powerful business project entitled "North American professional league" quite successfully resists all sorts of social organizations. Moreover, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the IIHF are in hand to the bosses to the NHL, so every four years, a celebration of hockey at the Winter Olympics.
The second equally important reason stems from the first: the absence of tangible prize at the world championships. Some tools IIHF to encourage the best teams highlights, but these amounts pale in comparison with the figures in words specified in the contracts of hockey stars level Ovechkin, Crosby or Zetterberg.
What can I say, if the International Federation and individual teams often can not afford the insurance coverage of hockey players, who come to the world championship. Playing on the world championship, thus becomes a personal matter for each individual player, his conscience, or, if you want, prudence ...
So it turns out that hockey championship after the Winter Games and over again proves its worthlessness. But officials with the IIHF stubbornness worthy of better application, include and include it in the international calendar. And the curse of the hockey players, who clearly decided for himself what the title for them this season is more important ...
However, there are quite a strong argument in favor of the last world championships. In addition to the Russians who have experienced a sense of deep satisfaction after the victory over a weakened Canada, the top four world championship came two loser Olympics in Vancouver - against Sweden and the Czech Republic. Team Jagr also able to enjoy revenge: she knocked all on the same stage of their quarter-offenders Finns, albeit at the expense of shoot-shootout. Well, three European company known brands was the home team ice, does not seek such success since the legendary striker Erich Kyunhaklya, gleaming in the late 1970-1980-ies. So for the sake only of the German World Cup in Germany was to be ...
