[CanadaIsIrrelevant]

A little bit premature!
One day rest at least

 

[fredligh]

This wont be pretty.

 

[helax]

Congrats to the win Canada..

Godnatt

 

[Plural]

Sweden will do the unthinkable and make Canada lose twice in a row in WC.

 

[Trovatore]

Never thought I'd ever say that but I'm cheering for Canada in this one. See you guys in the GMG!

 

[Slimmy]

Careful what you wish for

 

[Slimmy]

With the late addition of Ekholm we have a chance. But this is still one of the weakest teams I've seen us send to the WCs. Canada will win. I'd be willing to put money on it.

 

[icing]

Time to get eliminated. We really suck this year.
5-1 Canada?

 

[tade]

Connor McDavid as extra forward, I know it is projected line-up but still. That's pretty bad.

 

[IDeyChopNaira*]

Prediction:

Canada 3, Sweden 2, as McDavid scores his first of the tournament.

 

[Bosse Berglund]

With the late addition of Ekholm we have a chance. But this is still one of the weakest teams I've seen us send to the WCs. Canada will win. I'd be willing to put money on it.

Ekholm is good, but hardly a gamechanger for this one.

 

[saintflannel]

Be interesting to see how the Canadians bounce back after facing adversity for the first time in the tournament on Day 12.

 

[Nordic*]

I give Sweden a solid 6% chance of beating Canada.

 

[canswetoxic]

I'm a big fan of Tre Kronor but its time to go home, this team has no business in SF.
but I would like them to prove me wrong.

 

[Slimmy]

Ekholm is good, but hardly a gamechanger for this one.

I'm just saying we look a lot worse without him.

 

[Slimmy]

Prediction:

Canada 3, Sweden 2, as McDavid scores his first of the tournament.

If we keep McD scoreless, the loss would feel a little better at least.

 

[EK47]

I'm just saying we look a lot worse without him.

Maybe we could actually get something good out of him if he wasn't forced to play with Franssuck

 

[Booster*]

Think this one is gonna be closer than expected, atleast scoring wise, canada will win the shots for sure but, i think Markström will play his best game.

1-goal game either way?

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Is Talbot definitely starting? Picks is a better goalie.

 

[canswetoxic]

Is Talbot definitely starting? Picks is a better goalie.

Talbot plays, Sweden wins

 

[NyQuil]

Is Talbot definitely starting? Picks is a better goalie.

It's funny, right up until last game, I would have said the opposite.

Now they really have no choice but to go with Pickard IMO.

 

[Canuckistani]

Canada is the clear favorite yet I don't find myself at all confident heading in. Feels like a 50-50 chance.

I haven't seen a single Canada game this tourney. But I'm assuming they will play with an aggressive fore-check, apply pressure on Swedens d and lot's of net presence. This Tre Kronor team wan't to hang on to the puck and play themselves out of their own zone but against better teams they are prone to mistakes and can hardly skate themselves into the o-zone. I'm hoping it will all come together in this game but think we would have a better shot if we played more North American. Dump, chase, win board battles and lots of net presence. We are going to see some mistakes from the Canadian team and there is enough skill on this team to take advantage of that. But Canada is going to be in control of this game. They are going to set the pace.

 

[aphyro]

Lol im not even gonna bother to watch this game more then read this thread... since i cant stand to watch this guys embarrass the yellow and blue colors.
