We start earlier than usual this year. You know why. In the first round (seven games!) Sweden will play at home. First game is against Norway So you could say the WC is in Finland AND Sweden. The event takes place between 4-20th of May. First placed team meets the fourth in the same group. Thus, Finland and Sweden can only meet in the semifinals or the finals.

In the last finals a missed tennis shot from Niklas Persson would have meant 2-0 with one period to go. The finns eventually won and the Hartwall fiasco some years ago (a mad Sundin) was partially eliminated. This coming season will to a certain degree be more about national team hockey than club hockey. In this thread we can anticipate the revenge and speculate about the possible team we can mobilize.
