2. Like I said, but you didn't understand. "Best in the world" is the title name of a country that is the current world champion. Bruins could now be called "best in the NHL".
I only stated that we were "best in the world" a.k.a "world champions" and you jumped on me about how Canadians are better than Finnish players, you would win if you cared about world cup... Do you think we had all our NHL players in World cup? No we didn't.
It's fine. If you choose to be obstinate and blind in your Canadian nationalism, that's fine by me. Truth hurts sometimes. I'm sorry. Keep being deluded by how awesome you think your country's hockey is.
Truth is that you completely misunderstood what I said and started to brag about how Canada is the best Ice Hockey country in the world. And btw, I can ensure you that there is no "best country", because certainly at least countries like Sweden, USA, Czech and Russia have the right to think the same.
World Champions =/= "Best in the World" even temporarily. It's equal to World League Champions. If there were a hockey match for best in the world (oh wait, there is, it's called the Olympics) then the winner would be considered best in the world. World Champions, especially in sports like this where a very limited number of teams actually participate, is not at all a meaningful term. The same could be said for the NHL, of course.
