He only shows up for the Olympics.

He's the head coach for tournaments that matters most to Hockey Canada. That's why.

Let's go Canada! Win, please! I want to enjoy some great hockey after CZ vs US.

Sweet, Dumba is the 7th. Very unimpressed with his play this tournament.

Sucks that they're saddling McDavid with the puck hog Duchene. Their speed might work well together though

 

[ulvvf]

Have you seen this swedish team? if this swedish team make it to the final its gonna be the new miracle on ice

Then lets hope for a miracle then. Right now it is 0-0, so everything is possible.

 

[Draw Me a McElephant]

I really hate seeing McDavid with Duchene. On paper it looks great to have two speedy guys together, but in practice Connor meshes far better with grittier players who can help in out in the corners and get to the front of the net. Duchene also holds on to the puck far too much which doesn't work well with McDavid.

 

[FinnForTheWin]

CAN should win pretty easy, i'd say 5-2.

No, Sweden wins 4-2, last one into an empty net. Go Sweden !

 

[matsqq]

Last game all swedish defensemen were looking at the puck and didn't care about the opponents which cost them plenty...

Let's see if MÃ¥rts has learned a lesson ...

I think probably Canada will win by 2 goals ...

But if Sweden plays like last game it will be 5-0 to Canada ...

Well they say hope is the last thing to abandon you so yeah!

 

[EK47]

So Lindholm - Ekholm that's probably better but I would've prefered it if they had scratched Fransson and had nygren as the seventh guy only to use him on the powerplay

 

[Eye of Ra]

fransson vs perry, mcdavid......haha, 7-0 to canada.

 

[matsqq]

No, Sweden wins 4-2, last one into an empty net. Go Sweden !

If I was from Finland I would also want Sweden to win ...

 

[snipes]

Good luck Sweden

 

[FinnForTheWin]

If I was from Finland I would also want Sweden to win ...

I want Sweden to win majorily because of all the former colleagues and friends I have in the Stockholm area. Heja Sverige !

 

[EK47]

Ericsson needs to be demoted to the third or fourth line to be effective

 

[Scotty B]

very first shot Talbot faced...BIG Rebound

 

[tempest2i]

Canada with a lot of possession in the Swede zone here to start.

 

[Canuckistani]

My gut tells me this ends 5-3 Sweden

 

[Urgi]

feeling pretty good about this game, the good ol nothing to lose.. worst team in a very long time for sweden (on paper) some NA ppl seem to underrate euroleagues quite a bit

 

[tempest2i]

Ugh, the stupid penalties begin again.

 

[Canuckistani]

And a stupid penalty to start things off. 1-0 Sweden PPG coming up
