It's really weird: we have a low-key Russia and a flamboyant Finland tomorrow... The world turned upside down. Have really no idea how it will go, but these two are obviously the best teams of the tournament.
Haha i dont know wich team who care less about this medal tbh

US was not very good. Hate to hop on this bandwagon but they were definitely missing guys like Connor and Garland.

The States are "too good" for bronze medal games.
(remember the last olympics)
They'll lose by five or six goals....
Shouldent be so sure about that
not that Sweden do care so much about the bronz anymore lol it was the final who mattered nothing els.I expected a Sweden-USA final, as I imagine many did. So yeah, both teams will be pretty downtrodden.
Swedes will value a bronze more though, so I would predict a 5-2 Sweden win.

All that talk about weaker group B was a bunch of garbage. Group A might have been stronger 1 through 5. But the top 2 teams in group B definitely deserve to be playing for gold.
Good luck to Russia and Finland tomorrow, it should be an exciting game. What a strange tournament this has been though, I guess that's the beauty of Junior hockey: it is unpredictable often times.

Glad to see that someone sees it... I've been trying to get that through from the first prediction thread
Why do you guys think Sweden Value a bronz more than USA?
In the point of view you never win a silver or bronz you just lose a gold.

Its not good for a country an it's people to have that mentality. What happens when a world crisis or economic crisis happens. Also it is a way of players saying thanks for the country providing funding for their development and all the families involved. Families want their kids to play to the best of their capabilities. People and athletes need to unite and believe in their cause.
Definitely Wilson set the tone for this game by underestimating Russia, seems like a shortsighted move by supposedly an experienced NHL coach. Even of you think that, don't give your team a reason to underestimate

Remember Sweden lost to Slovakia of all nations in the Bronze last year, so it should be an epic battle of two teams who couldn't care less.

Do the SHL and other Swedish leagues have bronze games in the playoffs like we do in Finland? I think that's part of why at least the Finnish teams care more about "winning a medal" than the NA teams for example. It's part of the culture.
Im sick of that mentality tbh... its the same in all sports in Sweden tbh... even when we are favorits to win gold i rember in handball a few years ago, we mange to take bronz and they celebrated like they had won gold.
Beter to show that nothingels then gold matters.
Nop only gold final best of 7
