message: Hey guys, what do you think of this:

I modified the template from one on Football World Cup 2006.  I'm still messing around with it.  If people think it would be nice to have something like this, I can put it into template space and make some more for various levels of starting brackets (i.e., starting with quarterfinals for men). Let me know if you want something like this, and if you have any suggestions to the specific format.  Thanks! -- Jonel | Speak 22:19, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Can anyone make a (non biased) comment regarding (what I believe to be) clear incompetence by the ref on
* The calls that lead to the 2-0 SUI goal (4 very weak penalties vs Canada)
* The disllowed goal (the one with the puck in the glove that was (bias) clearly over the goal line which video replays showed however the intellegent person who put the overhead cameras couldn't position properly to give an additional angle (/bias)
That is very biased, if anyone can make a non-biased comment, I think it would be something to note. Tawker 16:21, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: This is interesting. Well, 6 years later we are no closer to an answer but this is from the article Peter Forsberg: As part of a subsequent interview about the championship over five years later, Forsberg was interpreted to insinuate that Sweden lost their preliminary round game against Slovakia on purpose, so as to draw Switzerland as their quarterfinal opponent, rather than Canada or Russia. Swedish forward Henrik Sedin, who played alongside Forsberg on the 2006 team denied the notion while adding that Forsberg's comments in the interview were misconstrued.01:00, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

message: Not sure if anyone is still checking here, but I went and replaced the first part (Group A) of the old style of game summary with the 'hockeybox2' template. It provides more information, makes the file a bit smaller (not much) and is collapsible, for better viewing. The games no longer link to the 'game stats' page, but since most of the information on that page is now here, I think it is a net benefit. I hope to have this done for all the games in the article within the next week, unless someone has an objection. Edged (talk) 10:13, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
