Chilly Challenges: Ice Hockey World Championship Plagued by Pothole Problems

Ice issues lead to extension of third recesses by World Federation. - Following Ice Issues: Expansion of World Federation's Third Provisions
In the deep freeze of Herning, Denmark, the 2025 Ice Hockey World Championship is facing a chilly dilemma - potholes! The International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) is shaking things up and extending intermissions by a whopping 2 minutes each time, adding up to a full 17 minutes. This ain't no regular timeout, mate. The reason? It's all about giving the ice a chance to freeze its ass off and harden after being resurfaced, you dunderhead!
"We figure this will help us maintain a consistent, fucking rock-solid (pardon our French), surface in this blessed Herning," the federation quipped in a statement.
Germany's 5-2 thrashing of Norway on Tuesday wasn't just a hockey match, it was a goddamn rollercoaster ride! The game came to an unexpected halt TWICE due to a huge-ass hole appearing in the ice. After the match, German players bitch-slapped the state of the ice, calling it a steaming heap of crap. To be fair, it was already a bit sherbet-y before the hole showed up. NHL goalie Philipp Grubauer, who can stop a fucking puck the size of a friggin' beach ball, demanded some fucking action to be taken, and looks like the IIHF has listened!
Switzerland is next on the ice, lurking like a bear with a salami sandwich! The German national team, coached by the legendary Harold Kreis, is currently undefeated with a whopping 3 wins under their belt. But damn, Switzerland has a history of crushing dreams, having reigned as the world's vice champ! So, let's see if the German team can skate their way to victory or if Switzerland will turn them into pancake batter on the ice today at 4:20 PM. Catch all the action on ProSieben and Magentasport!
