This is the end of the first round robin, right? Now they go into the finals?

Nope, this is (was) the semi's. Canada goes to the gold. What a game.

Fucking cocky Russians, taunting the crowd and celebrating their victory before the game was over. I know they're just kids, but that shit pissed me off.

Oops, sorry. I misunderstood you. I only read the first part of your post. I thought you meant that this was the final game of the round robin as opposed to the playoffs.

Hey people, we are there. Dramatic fashion.

Let the puck drop for the gold and let's get on with it.

Who will Canada's opponent be?

Who will Canada's opponent be?

Those damn, dirty Swedes. The most hated nation on the face of the earth.

[Von Milash]

I thought we'd get by the Russians with little trouble. Was I wrong.

We have to tighten up on D or we'll never beat the Swedes.

[wesrman]

We would have won easier if our goalie could make a fucking save.

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?]

[wesrman]

I missread what he said.

Sundin will be good for the Canucks. Hes a class guy and a great player.

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.

I forgot all about this tournament. Kinda makes me feel like an non-typical Canadian. Still, I am happy for all the hockey fans out there. My mum will be thrilled I'm sure.

Sounds like an exciting game.

p.s. no you had me right I meant final game of the round robin as opposed to playoffs.

Was a very exciting game. If the NHL playoffs were like this, the league wouldn't be in such a dire situation in the States.
