Stupid canadians, its beyond hilarious how seriously you grasp upon the only thing in the world that makes you half legitimized... the sport of hockey, and yet you can't even master that... you're a joke. You talk like an expert on what little you know. But being jealous will get you nowhere..there are only two types of people in this world...Canadians and everyone who wants to be one...ha ha ha...LMFAO..dufus.

We don't play dirty, we play tough. Thats the way the game is played...let the puck do the talking.
You PLAY dirty! What Camara and Lipon have done again Slovakia is a shame for the game of hockey! You always become frustrated when someone leads against you (like Slovakia did)! I live in Canada so I know what I'm talking about! Monday I will support Russia because of Canadian style! Go RUSSIA! I guess most of you guys missed the knee on knee that put one of the Canadian boys down on the ice from a Slovakian...knee on knee is a serious hit, and no penalty. Yet, in the US Canada game, they sent a US guy out for a head shot, that really was not a head shot. The same with Camara, it wasn't a purposely done head shot.  It seems some of you miss the skate to ankle trick the Russians do or the spearing behind the plays...I guess you miss that one too. Its hockey you sucks, if you ever played the game you would understand its high energy sometimes you get your head handed to you. So pick up your head and try to miss a few checks, your not very good at that. I have never heard a Canadian or American hockey player ever say some of the other teams were dirty players. And they are. This isn't ballet folks. If this young Russian kid wants to play in the NHL, he better find himself a new head, this won't be forgotten....what a fool. Hes going to be a turkey shoot in the bigs because hes a crybaby.

That is nonsense, and as a Canadian I feel ashamed of that kind of moronic response.  Next you'll be saying that Borje Salming and Daniel Alfredsson were "chicken Swedes".  This isn't the 1970s anymore.  I don't think that Canada's national juniors are dirtier than any other team at the junior championships, although perhaps a little more blatant in their misdeeds.  Hits to the head like Lipon's are unacceptable, though.  Plus, in a way, Yakupov has a point: if you think how many times OHL (Ontario hockey league) players targeted his head or his knees, I would be left with the same impression.  But let's be clear, this has nothing to do with national prejudice -- for instance, Sydney Crosby was abused far, far worse in the QC league that Yakupov ever was.  It is not a pretty side of Canadian junior hockey.  However, the players on our junior national team are not the guys who did any of the dirty work -- they merely, like Yakupov, have been on the receiving end their whole careers.
