Who's gonna stay up late and watch the Sweden game with me tonight? HEJA SVERIGE!!!!!

Give the Finns credit, tons of it.

Everytime Tuomo Ruutu has played for Finland he gotten a medal, 10 tournaments in a row WC & Olympics...

Anyone counting us out is just as delusional

It would be dumb. We need an epic Canada/USA showdown. There tournaments aren't the same without those two countries meeting.

hate Russia, glad they lost. Now on the plus side datsyuk gets plenty of time to rest, relax, and rehab his knee.

could you guys imagine if CZE and LAT pull off upsets today? to quote Joey Lawrence "Whoa!"

Finland? More like Winland, amirite?! In all seriousness though, I'm bummed for Pav but I'm glad he will have a few extra days rest.

Hahaha I thought the same thing

4-0! Now we're rollin! Do you think they looked at pictures of Z's beard during second intermission?

3-0 Erickson from Ericsson and Erixson at Airiksin minutes of the Errrrkjfdfcson period

So am I, but I'm not being a little ***** about it. *throwz up gang sign*

Quiet; Coach's Corner is on.

That would be pretty damn funny considering the tone of this thread the past couple days. At least we'd all be united in cheering for the Swedes with all their Red Wings.

Who needs a Vezina Trophy winner starting for them anyway?

I can't believe some people would like to have Bourque... Can we just give a chance to our young players???

I'm so conflicted in this game. The Wings all play for Sweden but its so hard to cheer against Slovenia who are easily the cinderella team of this tournament.

Facts and common sense say the Wings have a 99.9% chance of not winning the Cup?

I just want to point out that they play hockey in Detroit... A Mexican resort is far less scary then Detroit at night.

I agree. I don't even know why they have him on the 4th line. He is better then Kulemin, he should be at least playing on the 3rd line.

Why's Nichushkin scratched?He was better than half of your forwards.

Cool, you found a gif of the only thing Crosby has done in Olympic hockey. Damn he's been bad/invisible this tournament. As for the semis, I think the Czechs could cause some trouble for the US. The game against Russia told me the US are probably a bit overrated.

3.Tuuuuuukkkkkkaaaaaa

Of course what? The Czechs are a much more formidable opponent than Slovenia or Latvia. Any team with several NHL players will be a tough test. Is there really any question about that? I should be the one saying "of course." Of course some Canadian would try and downplay the toughness of team USA's matchup, while their team gets yet another non-NHL caliber team to play (aside from playing Finland). It's not like I was singling Canada out. I said Sweden and Canada both have very easy matchups, while the Russians and Americans will both have tougher tests. And that's 100% true.

Or we could just play Brendan on the wing and refer to him as "Reilly." BABCOCK: Hey, that puck's gotta go deep, Reilly! B. SMITH: I'm not my brother! BABCOCK: I've noticed!
