Basically exactly what expected, very comparable to last year and to easy to play against. + Z, Pasha, AlfredssonDanny K, Nyquist, Tatar, Kronwal and Monster ~ Smith, Abdelkader, Ericsson, Mule - Clearly, Bertuzzi, Quincy, Howard, Weiss and sending down the only gritty player on this team in Tootoo I won't mention Helm, Jurco both haven't played enough and the latter was just an emergency call up. All in all lots of injuries, streaky games and I know it's a wishful thinking but I would love to see the team play with a chip on their shoulder in the second half. The upcoming horror trip to the sunbelt teams might define their season.

There is no way Burke would have him on his final roster, just damage control. Poile should have apologized and leave it at that. I'm sure Ryan is.fed up enough by the insulting comments.

Chiarelli isn't Feaster and one of the best in the business, there is no way a first and Krug/Hamilton are traded for an 41 old Alfie. I say if they are in the outside looking in come trade deadline, safe for Z, Pasha, Danny, Kronwall and Nyquist everyone should be available for the right price. It would certainly mean welcome to the rebuild..

Wow Swedes are crushed I would take the medal and just put it somewhere where I don't see it for a few days.

Sarro and Ristulainen wow congrats Finland

I'm cheering hard for the Swedes but I wouldn't have a problem with this finnish team winning either, they are playing an almost perfect underdog game so far. but keep in mind that a finnish player should have gotten a 5 minute penalty for his ellbow to the head. So two screw ups on both sides so far other than that, the refs are doing a good job.

Unreal rorar nice to ssee

Wow now are things starting to get interesting. Swedes need to score here

Sarro is turning into this years Gibson quickly

Can't believe how offensively challenged this Canadian squad is. Yeah, the bronze might mean nothing for both these teams but only two goals in two games for team Canada is a bit we...telling ? Soccer, Basketball and Baseball to me are qually boring and I don't care if its a popular sport. Most of it's players aren't well mannered some might even be guys that get you in trouble this doesn't happen in hockey.

Soccer players are just a bunch of arrogant guys, who think kicking a ball 24/7 makes them "godlike".Most overrated and uninteresting sport with a bunch of very questionable atlethes. Hockey - thanks god - is the exact same opposite, hard working talented well mannered guys. After watching the game I thought the Fins deserved to win, they were the better team and it will be a good final. Sweden - Finland is like the european version of Canada - USA. After reading some other forums I almost feel bad for the Canadian kids it's like they are public enemy #1 now, it's a freaking two weeks tournament, easing up on kids would be nice for crying out loud.

That's nice and sorry for OT just wanted to warn people from my previous experience. Mods feel free to delete it if you want :-)

Safety first don't travel while storms are blowing I've did it before and stopped my car - like others - after just a few meters.

May I ask to sticky the Clearly hate thread? It is gettiing a bit tiresome reading about that (huge) mistake in every thread. Personally I hope he is taking some job in the organization after his career, been a warrior for many yearrs.

I think the Fins are going to put a good fight and they certainly won't hand it to Canada, but with Sutter behind the bench there is no way they are going to take this game lightly.

I'm not from Sweden just cheering for them, because I think winning infront of your hometown fans is epic and just like the Canadians the Swedes should get a feel of that too. But for sure not going to be butthurt if Canada wins. I've seen how Canada handled a very good Swiss team so to me - once again- they are the team to beat. Sweden is going to have even more pressure tomorrow but the atmosphere will be outstanding going to DVR that game for sure.

Sweden - Canada is going to be an epic battle. I'm cheering for Sweden because they are the hometown team and for sure the underdog, but whoever wins deserved it.

Haha those dirty Russian bastards are getting beaten score and fightwise go kick them home Forsberg!

Damn ;( Comon Sweden 180 Seconds and 120 seconds till the Russians are going to pull their goalie wooooooow Danks made up for that goal big time

Has Sundquist been drafted already?

Damn the divers are back in it

For such a small country, the amount of talent Sweden produces every year is simple amazing. JAAAAAAAAAAA 2 zip

Good god I would have prefered USA Sweden, stop acting like soccer players Russians seriously Exactly and I think he could be had at an average pricetag.

Personally I'd love to see Myers in Red and White, just like Miller the guy is playing for an absolute atrocious team. Zadorov will always have the KHL option, if things aren't going his way very good player none the less

Sweden picking up the pace nice one by Lindholm
