[Slimmy]

For gods sake, Järnkrok.. Just crash the net and take a beating or something. Just don't try to shoot.

 

[Bjornee]

I predict a 4-2 win for Ruskies.

 

[jfc64]

7-1 Sweden. Miracle in Minsk. Vacation on Krim for Ovechkin, Putin and the whole Bolchoi. Sweden - Finland in the finals, as usual. Hattrick from Järnkrok. Nyquist, assist king.

 

[Kharkov]

Go Sweden! Sweden wins 4-1.

 

[m4tt145]

We have a chance.

 

[Wings4Life]

This is probably the highest quality match-up possible in the tournament, as far as skill level on the ice goes. The winner of this should be the clear-cut gold medal favourite, barring injuries.

This one can go either way, but I'll pick Russia to win it 3-2.

 

[m4tt145]

Klasen 9p
Nyquist 6p
Järnkrok 0p

Don't mind if he scores his first point today.

Tbh a swedish win here would be a major upset, this russian team is better on all levels. But maybe it's time for a miracle. Go underdogs!

 

[Biggest Elephant Eve]

easy win for Russia 5:1

 

[Urbanskog]

Hoping for a Swedish upset, Nilsson had better be on fire.

 

[JacobBeans]

Russia lining up on their blueline watching Sweden warming up.

 

[JacobBeans]

Möller!!! Goal after 19 seconds!

 

[SurMartin]

Eeeeettt oscarmöllermååål

 

[Jussi]

BOBROVSKY! You're off the case! 19 seconds...

 

[m4tt145]

Mööööööööööölleeeeer

 

[SimplySensational]

First time Russia has trailed, but its meaningless really. Unless Sweden wants to trap for 59:41.

 

[m4tt145]

PP lets make it two!

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Sweden PP, this game could have a very surprising outcome.

 

[Jussi]

First time Russia has trailed, but its meaningless really. Unless Sweden wants to trap for 59:41.

They actually have the patience to do exactly that.

 

[Tissotti]

Wow, that's a strong start from the Swedes.
Russia is of course a favorite, but it's not the hardest thing to get Russia upset and see their game melt.

 

[Correspondant]

Nice start for Sverige/Sweden. Absolute beauty first goal.

 

[Jussi]

Tikhonov spears/buttends a Swede, refs missed that.

 

[Kharkov]

Tikhonov spears/buttends a Swede, refs missed that.

Yeah, shame that refs didnt see that.

Damn missed PP.

 

[Jaan]

Humongous big 5-hole. Classic Ruskie goalies
