He went into the boards really awkwardly not surprised to see him out. Really unfortunate though he was having a solid tournament.

 

[vippe]

Hopefully he'll be back for the semis if Sweden gets there.

Sweden should be the clear cut favorite here, I have my doubts about Gustavsson so far in this tournament hope he proves me otherwise with this game, he's let in atleast one weak goal pretty much every game

Are we using the blue jerseys today?

Why is this game the only one not televised in the US? Slovaks never get any love

Sweden-6 Slovakia-2

Probably because it's the only QF game to be played in the small HarborCenter.

Same for Canada, TSN has five f***ing channels and they can’t be bothered to put this game on one of them.

NHLN doesn't have a secondary channel to air it on. It'll air delayed tomorrow at 10am ET on NHLN.

It's on TSN3.

That’s my bad, looking at the wrong time.

Sidebar and schedule say TSN3.

 

[Tomas W]

Sounds thats he is not that badly hurt after all. I say, let him rest, normally he shouldnt be needed against Slovakia.

 

[caslava]

If we start this game like we did against Denmark this could get ugly fast

 

[kudla]

So is Boqvist playing?

 

[kudla]

The Slovaks are a clear underdog, they will not be the team under pressure. The Swedes will be. This might be the Slovak advantage. Moreover, they perhaps have an extra motivation, as Slovakia celebrated 25 years of the statehood yesterday. Details like this can often boost the team with special energy, especially the youngsters, who sometimes take these circumstances very emotively. I expect the Slovaks to play with a terrific enthusiasm, and given the fact Durny has been pretty solid in the net thus far, they might surprise.

Not sure they even realized it

 

[JimboA]

So is Boqvist playing?

Yes.

 

[Irishguy42]

Looks like Andersson is IN for the game. Will see how pre-game skate goes.

 

[Woodhouse]

Larsson starting for SWE? Both Andersson and Boqvist will dress according to the lineups.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Larsson starting!?

 

[VictorLustig]

Slovaks look focused

 

[vippe]

Larsson starting!?

let's hope so.

 

[kudla]

Slovaks look focused

Looks like the coach will play

 

[fredligh]

Wow how diffrent is this from 2012 WJC i calgary when the arena was packed no matter who played, now it is played in a small arena infront of...? 1500 spectators??

 

[BigBadBoar]

Good to see Andersson in the line-up.
