canada vs russia challenge

[CLOOCH]

anyone know who is going to be on team russia?

[Wildeyes]

I dont like this russia vs canada challange, they never really bring good teams and by the time they come to the west they are tierd. They never travel to smaller markets like PA or moose jaw, swifty,, lethbridge.

I would rather see US & BC divs. VS Central and East with at least one player from each team goes.

and move the game to smaller markets let them cash in instead of the rich get richer.

i think they are in Chilliwack and kamloops like honsetly how fair is this

[WHEATMAN]

It was in Brandon a few years back, doesnt that constitute as a small market?

[3rebels]

Came to Red Deer. We & Lethbridge are darn near the same size (give or take 200 people) ????

IS that the best team that they could bring??? Cause in past years they are very weak??

[CLOOCH]

crazy, havent heard of one of those players

i thought atleast 1 notable name would be here

[GOBLADESGO#3 (among other aliases)]

Really? I've heard of almost half that list of Russians, I've done some research in the past couple of weeks on the Russian players and now that they announce the rosters, this team looks pretty good actually, so watch out.
