The backup isn't half bad

Pasic firstline? No Monten

 

[PatrikBerglund]

I'm a Swedish nationalist and hope that Finland beats Canada.

 

[Czechboy]

Sweden doesn't seem to have a forward with tons of skills

Really lacking a finisher or a someone who can be a constant threat

There best one was out after a few minutes.lol Also, Kudos to the fans that showed he's elbowed people before. It's almost like a few people had that Youtube clip bookmarked and ready!

 

[fahad203]

Swedish players are very much built for NHL style of game

You can tell by the way they play it's designed for boards, puck possession game

Russian is all out skating rush game

The backup isn't half bad

That backup shutout Canada

 

[NyQuil]

The backup isn't half bad

Makes you wonder if this game would be close if Askarov was pulled sooner.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

This is a excellent russin team

Sweden-Finland final would be too much for my heart to watch.

 

[NyQuil]

That backup shutout Canada

Well, the team shut us down pretty good as a unit.

I’d think that Askarov’s tournament is done regardless of whether Russia wins or loses.

 

[tictactoe]

SO Canada. Was really good but Askarov is a super star for some reason.

 

[Czechboy]

Wow, Russians caught napping for just a second.

That would be have been something.

Great save by Russian... sitting there cold, barely played and then you got make a game saving save. Good for him.

 

[jj cale]

Wait till the Canada/Finn game is over... refs aren't done today!

refs are in for a heavy workload, they are just getting their warmup ups in now.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

That backup shutout Canada

I didn't follow the other group at all, and someone said that he only played 7 minutes. It's surely weird that he didn't get the go ahead earlier in this game.

 

[Richter915]

The backup isn't half bad

Shut out Canada and made it look easy.

He gud

 

[Czechboy]

Sweden-Finland final would be too much for my heart to watch.

It would sure fuel the 'North American's can't play on big ice' argument...

 

[Fried Tree Sap]

Played like total of 7 minutes

He played the third period against the Czechs, the entire game against Canada and most of the U.S. game. He almost went 6 full periods without conceding a goal before letting in a few bad goals and getting pulled against the U.S.

 

[swedehollow]

Swedes looks gassed.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Late to the party. Did Askarov get pulled?

 

[Firsov99]

Wait till the Canada/Finn game is over... refs aren't done today!

Would be interesting if Swedish refs were officiating this game.

 

[7even]

Russia playing great positional defense in the neutral zone. Really limiting Sweden's passing options and the Swedes don't have enough guys who can carry it through with possession.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Wait overtime in the elimination games is still 3v3?

 

[fahad203]

Man I really like Romanov, he’s such a competitor all over the ice. Kind of guy you want on your team.

His built and demenor reminds me of Kasparaitis but skill reminds me Ozolinsh

Yes two player from the 90s. What's up thug?

Thank you for saving me typing this! He's been excellent. He literally had a few bad minutes in one game.

Swenen lucky to not be on the PK here
