The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
Better play from Sweden now, just lucky Russia didn't score with the pressure they had. We need another goal, I don't think we'll keep the Russians of the scoresheet the entire game. In that case, Calle-Gustaf has to resign, because Reideborn will be our new king
 
Nygren is so bad. He's the :eek::eek::eek::eek: who made a fool of himself a few years back too right?

Lol I mixed Nygren with Nygård, but maybe I still got it right?

No, Sweden finishes above Slovakia in that case. Only a Czech ot win knocks us out if we win in regulation.

But that is what I wrote.

Hm, I guess Russia can also lose against the Whiterussians.
 
Pilut has been our most consistent defencemen. All the other Ds have been up and down, had very good matches mixed with bad. Sellgren was good his first two games, but has made a few bone-headed mistake. Nygren was good against the Swiss but pretty bad in the other games. Pilut hasn't had a game were he has been bad
 
Swedes have looked great for a little while here.

Not sure how Zadorov didn't get a boarding penalty.

I wish the Czechs had a Provorov.

Yeah, Provorov is so good. But I think every single Russian defenceman is better than every single defenceman on the Swedish team. Igor Ozighanov, who are the Russian 7th D today, would be #1 on Sweden.

This is Swedens third team maybe even can assemble four team better than this.

Agree, Pilut is great. Very consistent. Nygren makes me nervous everytime he's on the ice.

Overall a great period from the good guys.

Haha, we'll see, but if Sweden manages to qualify to QF you never know. They will go into the QF on a winning streak with a really good feeling in the team and a hot goalie. And there are some skilled forwards in Rakell, Kempe, Olofsson.

When I first saw the title, I was thinking Republic of China (Taiwan) for ROC. How is a tropical island nation suddenly playing against heavyweight Sweden in the highly contested tourney?

Hey, I just noticed that they're actually going by Russian Olympic Committee in this tournament (and for a while in future tournaments) and went for accuracy.

lol, we're hanging on for dear life in a must win game against a team with little to play for. This team would get killed the moment they met a team that cared enough.
 
320 years ago, close to this arena in Riga, Sweden took down a Russian army 3x it's size in a famous battle.

Fingers crossed now for a repeat.
