message: From Canada V Latvia TSN coverage game May 4 2008...
:Canada was supposed to host 1970 World Championships in Winnipeg. An agreement was worked out between CAHA and the IIHF whereby 9 minor-pro hockey players from Canada would be allowed to counterbalance the Eastern European players that were pro in all but name. The IIHF renegged on the agreement, and Canada pulled out of hosting duties, and all World Championships for the next decade, and the 1972 and 1976 Winter Olympics in protest.

thread_title:  info to be integrated 

message: Please avoid placing speculative information. Do not place already known teams of Preliminary round, just because they are qualified, into Standings table of Qualification round, until these standings become known (Standings means places to stand in, determined by rank - otherwise it is NOT initial Standings for Qualification round), to avoid misleading. Groups E and F do not exist, neither ordering among the teams already qualified. Svmich (talk) 16:56, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: As soon as it starts it will be ordered by team points though... and those points can in some cases be determined. Sorting by 'wether they placed as A1, A2 or A3 etc is pointless and superficial, as that wont show the teams' standings in the group. Czech republic WILL have 4 points when they start in group E, for instance. Their game against Italy is completely pointless. (Cept for player high scores etc). I
I'm glad you decided to discuss it after changing it the second time at least. Lejman (talk) 19:39, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  No speculative and misleading information, please. 

message: Wouldn't it be best to remove the Standings & Results headers?It is pretty obvious that the table shows the standings, and the game summaries show the results.It will make it a whole lot easier to see which paragraph have been edited.It will also shrink the page size. lil2mas (talk) 20:26, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Standings/Results headers 

message: Just as a for the record, of why Canada cannot be left out.
Canada currently sits at 3-0-0-0 for 9.  If Latvia were to tie them at 9, then Canada holds the tiebreaker (head to head).  If Germany were to tie them at 9, they would ensure that the United States could not pass Canada and that Latvia could not tie Canada.  Canada would be guaranteed to finish ahead of both the United States and Latvia.  Of course, if Germany doesn't get to 9, then Canada would finish ahead of both them and Latvia.

replies: text: The current ranking is incorrect. In case three or more teams are tied, their ranking is based on difference of goals in games against each other. So Swiss team (4-7) is 4th, Sweden (7-7) is 3th and Czechs (8-5) are 2nd for now. But it all could be changed after Russia-Switzerland.--83.237.98.73 (talk) 11:53, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I've corrected the ranking but Swedes are anyway third indeed :)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.237.98.73 (talk) 13:04, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Tie-breaking formula is not applicable to Swiss before their [first] game against Russia (they have one more game to play, some sort of advantage). Switzerland is 2nd in the official IIHF standings as well. Svmich (talk) 16:08, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think Sweden has a lock on third... See the tiebreaker for 3 or more teams: http://www.iihf.com/channels/iihf-world-championship/home/format-rules.html ccwaters (talk) 18:27, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
