They will be fun to follow through their careers. Anyway I have high hopes for Wallstedt as a Swede, would be nice to have another goalie to heavily rely on in the national team after Lundqvist

He's got some pretty strange english for an english speaking Canadian, doubt he grew up here.Haha i like that you are Canadian and hate on em ! It's all good i also hate Canada and Canadians when it comes to hockey otherwise i love you guys
His m.o is trolling though, especially Canada,though it can be anyone sweden is facing. it's all he does every year.
maybe not your best pick for role model unless you think that stuff is humorous though it's hard to believe an adult could.
I'll assume you are one.
Aren’t Swedish and Finnish essentially the same?I hope US win tomorrow so Sweden can play their beloved Finland.
Ducks and runs for cover.

Last time I bet my last $1,000, it was on the undefeated Patriots against the Giants and we all know how that turned out.

This.
Juniors can always have unpredictable moments, it’s part of what makes this tournament the most exciting hockey in the world most, if not every year.
Nothing is ever guaranteed, especially in the medal rounds when it’s the best teams facing each other.
Great game! Sweden is so damn good! They have all of these really big guys who can fly out there, and handle the puck and shoot beautifully. Russia was lucky to win, but we will take it even if its ugly. Kudos to Larionov - the guys held together when the pressure was really on.
With as much energy as they expended, Sweden should be a bit exhausted tomorrow, but I am pulling for them to win. If the US should win, they may finish in first place based on the fact that toinight's win was in overtime, and I think you get fewer points for an overtime win. Should be a great game! Go, Sweden.

Great game, thank u Russia for ending that crippeling record. Sweden played better then i thought they would. Might get a medal If they play like they did second half of the game.We got to get Holtz and Raymond on The scoresheetmore more. Wallstedt was great. USA might be lost in The first If Sweden start the same way.

1985 Oilers.
Best team in NHL history. Peak Gretzky, Kurri, Messier, and Coffey just shattering playoff records.

Hope they rest Broberg against Usa!
Russia is a 1 line team who creates 90% of their chances, but that line is dirty good!
Remember wjc 1992 when 21 Forsberg Markus naslund and nick sundstrom was unstoppable 69 p in 7 games.
Everyone met each other. Sweden needed a draw against Canada to win gold. Canada won 5- 4 and their goale was a wall despite let in 4 goals. Näslund took a bad 5 late in the third.
Russias 1 line isnt that good, cant fly in 3 periods, saw it against Usa and today!
you need other lines to step up in a long tournament, that is why Canada is a gold favorite, a team with 1st rounders.
Sweden has 2 great goalies but the no 1 didnt played tonight, hes in against Usa again. Goalies can win cups. Usa is after seen all teams 2 nd to win with Russia and sweden as outsiders, Askarow has a lot of flaws, isnt top 3 goalie in the tournament!

I did not see much greatness today from the swedes. They played hard but clearly not very consistent team. I thought Russia outskilled Sweden even though the game was somewhat even after all is said and done. I assume that USA is a better team, thinking they will beat Sweden by a several goals.

right back at ya oilers fanOkay Habs fan
Defensively any of those hab teams of that dynasty are superior to the oil while the oil definitely have the edge offensively, would love to see that series.
It'd be really damn close.

Lol anyways this discussion is OT at this point.
Heck of a game tonight, seeing good hockey puts me in a good mood.
Thanks for the entertaining game Sweden and Russia. That was an awesome game, would have been even more electric with fans there but nonetheless good energy from both teams.
Respect to the European fans who stayed up all night or got up extremely early for this one.
You do know that russian line didn't produce first two games RIGHT? Or some other good players like when Afanasiev added to his tally. Or Abramov made the game winning play, or Knyazevs 4th point as a D?
This continuous downplaying of Russia's depth is fun to watch from the side since every year "oh wow russia is in the finals again..."

Not according to Scotty Bowman. I just read his book by Ken Dryden and they had Scotty pick the 8 best teams in NHL history:
51-52 Red Wings
55-56 Habs
62-63 Leafs
75-76 Habs
81-82 Islanders
83-84 Oilers
2001-02 Red Wings
2014-15 Black Hawks
They did a mock playoff and Scotty had the 75-76 Habs vs 83-84 Oilers in the fianls and Montreal came out on top in 6 games. Both teams were stacked but Montreal had the defence that the Oil never did in his opinion.
I just finished it today and felt like sharing that haha. Great book and most likly the most amazing hockey career of all time. I highly recommend it
