Words spoken like a true Dane!

However, I watched yesterday's semi against Slovakia on Swedish tv (only thing I've watched of this tourney), and not only was it a good game, the Swedes looked real good _and_ entertaining. They could win tonight.

[Sidenote: Exactly how much do you hate Mats Sundin?]
I don't hate the Swedes at all, I was trying to think of something specific they were disliked for before posting that, but I came up with nothing. I will be cheering against them on Monday though. Their weakest link seems to be Markstrom (sp?). His rebound control is very questionable and a team like Canada should make him pay for it. Hedman hasn't impressed me either from what I've seen. However, as discussed, the Canadian goaltending (and defense) has not been world class either. Should be a good game.

I'm very glad Sundin signed with the Canucks, but how much effect he will have at his age and after such a long lay-off remains to be seen. I'm cautiously optimistic that he will have an impact, but getting Luongo back is going to be much for important for the success of the team.
