right Flyer...who mentioned "game"? i thought this thread was "Favourite 2nd sport". From what i remember, ski-ing is a sport, unles the likes of Jean claude killy, Albertoe Tomba and Mark Giraldelli arent considered sportsmen? Be funny that especially as they all have mountains named after them. Maybe go outside the Uk and ask a few people. Igor, Ice hockey the fastest team sport- agree. Skiing the fastest sport. The ski's are specifically designed to go fast. Withouty going into the engineering side of it. More surfeace area=more speed. think of the size of a skate & put it agains a downhill ski ( about 2.3 metres +). Make sense? pete. I used to teach in Soldeu. Is that where you went? there are only 4 resorts in Andorra and we were about 2 hours from the French Border? Pas Dela Cassa was right on the border and is prob the most popular resort. Was there in the early 80's. The 2 (!) nightclubs were "The Pussycat" & ...**** forgotten. Used to be a Souse guy behind the bar called Benny & DJ was "Pete the poodle"....dont ask! ring any bells?
Skiing is a sport, not a game. Darts is a game but not a sport. Ice dancing is neither and football is both. They are different things.
You replied to a post which igor mentioned ice hockey the fastest game, you said skiing was faster but its not a game. Hence igor was right.
Yes, jokerit (selänne is from there) is a finnish team. We have beat them three times this season and we beat all three swedish team that we played during the pre-season. Finnish league is the third best league in the world after NHL and KHL. Swedish elitserie is close but SM-league is better.
Youd have to say that , the KHL is 2nd best but the impression I get is from the media that the Swedish league is 3rd but I cant say as ive never seen a match of either league.
AGAIN.....Look at the title of the thread..bit like pulling teeth this!..and its only 9am....sheesh! Bored now!
Too much great swedish players have gone to NHL . Much more than finnish players from our league. The KHL also take good players from both league. Our best center forward Stephen Dixon transferred to Lokomotiv Jaroslav a month ago. Take my word bully boy you like finnish league more. Its more physical than elietserien.
Reading through the posts there were some interesting contributions. But gimmee always makes me laugh - well done Sir (He doesn't really. I just like seeing photos of nubile young ladies (sorry for the sexist post Beth).
