Ehh.. that leaves us with like, 5 defensemen?
Edit: oh, R Sundin has arrived.. he better be in good shape or this might get ugly

 

[Leo Naphta]

Ronnie Sundin will replace him.

 

[Vikke]

Ronnie Sundin is our saviour

 

[CSKA]

BIG O should take Alfredsson out

seriously, the best team should win !

 

[Zell_Rocks]

Is Ronnie related to Mats?

 

[MOGiLNY]

Go Russia!

 

[Vikke]

Is Ronnie related to Mats?

Nope.

I could be wrong, but I'm not

 

[TheRedressor]

I hope MSNBC will cover this game only and not the Slovak vs Latvia game.

 

[GuloGulo]

Nope.

I could be wrong, but I'm not

They are not. Ronnie is from Dalecarlia and Mats from Stockholm. Sundin is a fairly common surname too.

Neither are the Samuelssons related: Martin, Mikael, Ulf and Kjell have only the name in common.

Mats and Markus Naslund are not related.

 

[Vikke]

What about the Sedins, Gulogulo?

 

[GuloGulo]

What about the Sedins, Gulogulo?

What about him? Danrik Sedin is our next superstar

 

[reaper]

What about the Sedins, Gulogulo?

They are just twins, they are not related in any way

 

[Vikke]

Do they have one paycheck or two?

 

[Vikke]

Twins?
I guess I've missed something.

 

[MartinFr]

oh my this is going to be a great game, I'm afraid that our defense wont stand a chance against Ovechkin, Kovalchuk, Malkin etc but it's a weakness in the Russian team to..

anyway, I have to be optimistic so I say 4-3 Sweden.

 

[Matti_A]

This is gonna be a great game.

Sweden wins the most important matchup, the one between the pipes: Henke>Nabby

But Ovechkin is the best player in the world, so who knows.

 

[SChan*]

oh no, what should be happening has happend! Havelid is injured! Our old and washed up SEL dman replaces

 

[shawn_kemp*]

I just wanna see a great effort by both teams, goals, drama, fights, game misconducts, suspensions, blood ... errr wait a minute

 

[CSKA]

Shaibuuuuuuuuuuu Rossijaaaaaaaa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Coffee and 7's*]

I loved yesterday when in Swedish television some fan sent a mail to the Hockey-Experst asking if Daniel and Henrik Sedin where twins
"I've never thought about that...I'll look into it"

 

[Vikke]

Shaibuuuuuuuuuuu Rossijaaaaaaaa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not that crap again

Da svedanja, russkij
