OOC: Instead of my usual newspaper article, here's a live broadcast.
Jean-Louis Lavoie-Renaud (analyst): Welcome back to la soirée du hockey, we're live from Wojewódzka Hala Widowiskowo-Sportowa w Trzczeszynski in Trzczeszyn and the score is 1-0 Austrakia after 40 minutes. How do we analyse this game so far?
Bruno Bruneau-Brunet (play by play and analyst): Well, one word: frustrating...
Jean-Louis: Exactly what I think... we have 28 shots on goal so far in two periods and still no goal.
Bruno: Jakob Bergweis is stealing the game so far...
Jean-Louis: Yeah...
Bruno: It's weird, we keep losing agaist bad teams and we drew against Siovanija and Teusland
Jean-Louis: Yeah... some weird results... the same thing happens to Québec, I think the score is still 0-0 in their game against some unranked nation.
Bruno: Talking about Québec, they're our next opponent. What to expect agaist them?
Jean-Louis: Well maybe another draw? Seriously both us and Québec are underachieving and I don't know what to expect.
Bruno: Our players need to focus on hockey and don't get distracted by anything in Québec.
Jean-Louis: What do you mean?
Bruno: I mean... you know... sex and weed...
Jean-Louis: Oh yeah I understand... prostitution and soft drugs are illegal here. Some players may be tempted when they visit Québec.
Bruno: Yeah, exactly.
Jean-Louis: So... I wanted us to make predictions since we almost reached the halfpoint of the tournament, but Christian isn't with us...
Bruno: Well, we can start without him, his predictions are always dumb anyways...
Jean-Louis: ok... let's start with group A. Who do you see making the playoffs out of...
Christian Archambault (some dumb fan): Hey what's up guys sorry for being late!
Bruno: It's ok Christian... well, in group A I see Mercedini and Taeshan. Mercedini is the highest ranked team and Taeshan they're hosting this tournament, so they want to win it at home.
Jean-Louis: Same here, I think Mercedini and Taeshan will advance. What about you Christian?
Christian: Yo I think the Frozen Forrest because they're gunna freeze everyone and Jamie the Elephant because elephants are cool!
Bruno: Elejamie used to be one of the best team but they stopped participating and now they're coming back.
Jean-Louis: Yeah, but they don't have the team to win this year... maybe next year. Ok group B... I see Neu Engollon and Graintfjall.
Bruno: Neu Engollon because they're one of the best hockey nation and HUElavia because they looks very confident and they're slightly better than Poafmersia and Graintfjall.
Christian: Poof mersia because I like to say poof and I think West Florida will move to Québec City cuz that's a better hockey market!
Jean-Louis: You can't move a nation to the capital city of another nation!
Bruno: Pretty dumb..
Jean-Louis: Ok... group C... I see Savojarna and Reçueçn. What about you?
Bruno: Savojarna, once again, they're a great hockey nation... and TJUN-ia, I think this team have a good momentum...
Christian: Troll because that's an awesome name and Sylestone because I fell in love with them in the last World Cup of Hockey.
Jean-Louis: Troll?
Bruno: I guess he means Tjorl.
Jean-Louis: Oh... ok. We'll skip group D and go directly to group E... I pick Cassadaigua and Banija
Bruno: same here, Cassadaigua and Banija. Fluvannia are a good team, but the other two are just too good for them.
Christian: Fluffyania because I love fluffy things and Reqwazaquébécoisland because Québécois are the best at hockey!
Jean-Louis: Oh, let's move forward to group F... I see Valanora and Gyatso-Kai
Bruno: Valanora because they're unbeatable and I like Tikariot so I'm gonna pick them, this team will surprise us because everyone knows Gyatso-Kai is a more established team.
Christian: Silvadonia because I don't know and Jitsu-Kawaï because that's an awesome name!
Jean-Louis: Group G, I pick Abanhfleft and Kelssek
Bruno: It's hard to exclude Kelssek, but this is an interesting group and anyone can win it. I'll say Abanhfleft and The Fortem.
Christian: Equestria because I love this nation and maybe Ontario because I believe they play hockey in Ontario and they should play Québec in the playoffs lol
Jean-Louis: Group H, I see Vilita and Turori and Ko-oren
Bruno: Same here: Vilita and Turori and Ko-oren
Christian: Chromatika because I love lady Gaga and Gregory because their enemy crushers are gunna crush anyone!
Jean-Louis: It's not Gregoryisgodistan, it's Gergary, a much different nation!
Bruno: Yeah
Jean-Louis: Ok, lastly.. our group. Honestly, I don't know what to expect, Québec and us are suppose to be better than New Waldensia. I still say Siovanija and Teusland and Québec
Bruno: No love for us? I think we can sneak in the playoffs ahead of New Waldensia and Québec. Siovanija and Teusland will top this group.
Christian: We can't bet against Québec in hockey, so I say Québec and Terre Septentrionale.
Jean-Louis: Thanks for your predictions Christian... so talking again about Québec, they're our next opponent. Bruno, do you think we can beat them? Are we tough enough to play them?
Bruno: Considering they've been unable to beat New Waldensia and Austrakia, I believe anything can happen, and by anything, I mean yes, we can beat them. I believe our players should use their speed and keep their heads up, and capitalize on the power play. That's the key against them.
Bruno: To answer your other question, if they decide to goon it up, we can't rivalise. We need to focus on using our speed and scoring goals and don't retaliate if they try to goon it up. however, by precaution, I believe Wlodzimierz Puck should be inserted in the line up instead of Frédérique Lainé. I know that Puck if a left winger and Lainé plays right wing, but Puck played both wings in the midget. I know it's a long time ago, but he can do it for 10 minutes in one game. It's not like if he played 20 or 25 minutes. Puck is a power forward and can retaliate against Québec's tough play. Other players who will fight back are Günther Schützenauer, Elizabeth Yamamoto and Zygfryd Zurkowski.
Jean-Louis: Thanks Bruno... It's time for a commercial break and the 3rd period will start after the break. It's actually 1-0 Austrakia after 40 minutes.
