    The Finns definitely can't match up in offensive fire power but they do have a much better goalie and they play an extremely disciplined defensive game. It would be a lot of fun to see what happens if they could get the first goal tomorrow.

    They do in my book, the seed doesn't say anything and with the injuries Finland has there's no doubt that Russia is the favourite.

    Most likely to upset in my opinion is in this order: Finland, Czech, Slovenia and Latvia.

    And Kronwall, Ericsson and Nyquist??

    Too much pointless arguing here, who gives a s*** what team was best in the group stage. If it's 60-40 in Canada's favour or team USA's favour when they meet is utterly irrelevant, it's one elimination game and absolutely anything can happen.

    I think Finland have a really good shot at upsetting Russia. They have a much better goalie and if they play this kind of disciplined, grinding defense they will be incredibly tough to beat, add to that the classic Rus-Fin animosity and that game is a must watch! Also there are no free passes in the olympics

    Perfect, Sweden just needs to go through Austria, Russia and Canada and the gold will be ours!

    It was a group stage, the Russians can't dwell on it too much they just have to move on and get better.

    Sweden wins 5-3 extremely boring hockey game but it's a win at least and nice to see Jonathan Ericsson's big brother get a goal.

    I hope I'm wrong but I don't have high hopes for this team. Elder hammers one home, getting out from under Torts suffocating coaching must feel great for him

    We won't get near any gold medals with three of our intended top6 injured anyway.

    Louiiiiiii and D.Sedin have been awful, they both have zero confidence right now.

    The Czechs simply don't have a very good team this year, their juniors have been bad for years and it's starting to take it's toll. Alfie has scored in five straight Olympic Games now btw, that's pretty decent...

    This unlike when the wings play is why it's called a skills competition...

    If Z is injured I think my tv might have to take an unexpected flight through my living room window... Both as a wings fan and a Swede that is probably the absolute worst thing that could happen.

    It's over, 4-2 to Sweden!

    Well one if the refs and one linesman are from the nhl.

    4-2 now, a little unnecessary.

    Erik Karlsson is just insanely talented... 4-0

    Quick should definitely play in my opinion, he is a better goalie but I assume him and miller will split games in the group stage. 2-0 to Sweden after 15mins, goals by Karlsson and Berglund.

    There are few things in life that make me angrier than games like this.

    Not sure why we are complaining about our defenders after a complete fluke goal.
