Should be an easy win for Team Canada.
Sweden just didn‘t want to lose against Finland, again.
4th, after beating their stronger neighbour, is like having won Gold.

 

[NyQuil]

Eww.

Sweden wins.

 

[HabSgt]

I voted Canada but I honestly don't know. Both teams will have a huge IDGAF factor for this one.

 

[Rob]

when is the last time Canada won a bronze at this tournament? Lots of gold and silver but few bronze medals

 

[jj cale]

I'm as big a Team Canada fan as there is and I wouldn't put a nickel on our team in a bronze medal game.

Who cares more is the question.

That's why I think Sweden will take it.

Gonna be Sweden not showing up.
Lazy sloppy play.

I think Canada has a ton of guys on their team this year that only have one gear, and that's on. Canada grinds out a win tomorrow imo.

They should have breathalyzers on the bench for this one.

I say 6-5 but not sure who will win. Expect a shitty first. Decent 2nd and a wide open 3rd.

 

[SantosHalper]

Heja Sverige!

 

[CanadaIsIrrelevant]

Charcoal vs Minions

 

[FinPanda]

I guess on this one I hope for a Canada win, but wouldn't complain if Sweden wins either.

 

[HabSgt]

Lost a lot of people watching now I guess.

Go Canada?

 

[CanadaIsIrrelevant]

People falling and stumbling.
Are the Czechs so bad at making ice?

It's quite warm in the stadium. Not as bad as in Ostrava but still. Haven't actually heard any particular explanation.

Easy goal for Sweden

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Sweden takes the lead, have looked solid for a stretch.

 

[HabSgt]

Sweden has some nice passing out there 1-0

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Sweden has some nice passing out there 1-0

And Canada is unable to make a decent pass

So boring

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

There are no slouches on either side, but I just love watching the Brodin - Dahlin pairing skate. Masterful stuff.
