[Subway Schenn]

Really don't get why the odds makers are so heavily on Sweden.

This one will come down to coaching.

Sweden has no coach, so thats mean Finland wins ?

 

[canswetoxic]

I cheer for Sweden as always! but doesn't have high hope, as this year is weird situation for the team, no coach, no team members, no team work, no training, lack of centre and so on.

 

[swedehollow]

So basically it looks like Sweden is playing themselves. Finland has no part in this.

Oops!

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Hope it's an exciting game and not a blowout.

 

[kudla]

Sweden takes it 4:3, maybe not in regulation time

 

[Svedu]

Sweden wins 6-1. Melker, Holtz, Raymond and Söderström will destroy us in PP.
Pennanens Finland has looked really weak. Not enough of good skaters, nor players with the amount of skill or IQ that is needed. Järventie has been a ghost. Hirvonen can't score for his life, or he has not been able to do so before the playoffs. Taponen has played one game and Piiroinen has been at tops decent-meeh. I wonder if Blomqvist should get the chance but I know this will never happen.

 

[IceHockeyDude]

I would not have my hopes too high on this one.

 

[The Blueprint]

I think the Finn's come out flying after the Canada game with something to prove

I by no means think this will come down to coaching, nor have I been at all impressed with Finland’s coaching.

Piiroinen was great vs Canada. We should have scored 7 or 8.

Finland 6-2 Sweden

 

[FinPanda]

Sweden 4-1.

 

[MoDoJoel]

The winner faces the winner of US v Slovakia in semis, right?

Hope for a close exciting game, gonna say 4-3 Sweden with both defenses looking shaky and goalkeepers delivering.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Finland takes it 4-3. Perhaps in OT.

 

[JabbaJabba]

Hopefully we get a tight game and not a boring blowout. I think either team could take this. Could come down to little things who wins the game.

 

[Shocker]

Finland looked so bad against Canada that i don't have high hopes here.

But i hope it's at least somewhat tight game.

There's always the Finland factor vs. Sweden, they usually show their best hockey against that team.

 

[SotasicA]

6-0 Sweden.

Nope. If Sweden wins they likely play Canada, Finland wins they likely play USA. That is baring upsets in the other 3 games today.

 

[Gsus]

6-0 Sweden.

They should bring this quote and post it into Finnish locker room.

I believe in Finland. Underdogs or not, usually after a loss come up with a good effort.

Sweden 4-1

Think Germany will beat Russia, eh?

 

[AB13]

Seems like both sides think their team is shit. Both teams are still good this year and the team that wins can absolutely win gold.

 

[Zub]

Whatever happens i hope for a good exciting game, best of luck to Sweden.
