Not sure about using that term in a bronze medal game because you're not playing anymore games either in the tournament. I mean you're also going home.

CANADA IS IRRE….. yippie bronze!
Look at Hedman who hasn’t been good in years according to some poster here and Karlsson is past his prime.
We can be backup nation in Four nations.

Safe to say Canada does not get up for Bronze Medal Games in this tournament.
The last time they left the IIHF World Championship with a Bronze Medal was 1995.

IIHF president or w/e he is wanting EK to raise the bronze trophy haha
Why do they have trophies here? Aren't the medals enough? Seems strange, you either win a trophy (NHL, AHL, KHL & other elite leagues) or medals (Olympics, WC, WWC, WJC).
MoJo, EK65, Ek top three in Sweden this tournament.
PK great, PP terrible so evens out.
Refreshing to not have been seriously out coached even once this tournament, perhaps against Czechs but I put that down as player egos getting bruised (by unfortunate bounces and poor play) and doing their own thing instead.
As opposed to the shit show the previous years. Not that Hallam gets a free pass (see PP), he should have went more "Phil's enthusiasm" on a couple of players that deserved it.

That's the difference between the 21st century & the 20th century.
21st century: "You tried, here's your participation medal & trophy."
20th century: "You came in second, third best? f*** you get out."

Sweden finished top 3 in every IIHF-event. U18, U20 and Men's tournament. Good.

Rough Spring for Tavares. I'm a fan of his so this isn't meant as a chirp.

Actually that idiot was president of finnish ice hockey association Heikki Hietanen, maybe that greedy bastard learns how to host a tournament.
Heja Sverige! Congrats

True story though.
When I played hockey as a kid (8-10 years) and we participated in a tournament. Everyone got medals even the team coming last.
“Aaawhh you lost but here have a medal for participating “
Johnny Tey has a loser mentality. You should never make him a captain. You can't trust anyone that backstabs a team. Not to mention make him a captain. Reading stats has no meaning if you can't read people.
beating Canada is always a miracle.
I think this is the first time ever sweden beat Canada at full time in a medal game.
I am checking the history books.
Edit: yes it is the first time ever.
