dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted December 17, 2009 Agreed. But somehow Canada always seems to win. For me that reduces the suspense to almost nothing. Even if Canada doesn't end up in the final I'd still expect them to win the gold-medal. That's how little the actual outcome matters to me. Appreciate the vids tho! 2 years ago still hurts.. sudden death against Canada in the final, the chance to win a gold medal for the first time in 25+ years and break Canada's domination of the WJC and we lost.. Last year we weren't really close in the final, and this year will be difficult too, especially if we don't get Erik Karlsson (damn you Ottawa). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest mindfly Report post Posted December 17, 2009 Haha great i've always wondered why americans tend to say "i could care less" when they actually mean "i couldnt care less" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted December 17, 2009 It's not ruled out that karlsson can participate, final descision from ottawa will come on sunday I know, but I'm not hopeful since they already said he couldn't go and this is just sweden's coach trying to bargain with them. I don't understand why a team like Ottawa wouldn't want him to go. They barely use him, and I think it's could be extremely helpful to a player's development to play these kinds of big games when the chance comes. I can understand Tampa not letting Hedman go, but Karlsson is not vital to Ottawa (yet). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
