Can we have an NHL-expansion with this swedish team? I love the composition as it shows now.

You realise fewer teams = higher concentration of talent, right? But you’re right, all the Bruins on those teams went +124 in a season and won three straight Harts.

That 4 minute PP for the US was the turning point.

Sweden ends up with the goal to make it 2-0.

Agreed, that was a pivotal sequence in the game and you can point to that directly when talking about where Sweden took this game by the throat and sealed their victory.
 
Love that the players doesn't celabrate this win too much. We have won nothing yet. Great win this game though! Another final and a chance to win two in a row. Tied with Finlands all time record ;)
 
I really liked the US team this tournament. It's no fluke they went to the semis and they came out flying in this game. They really badly needed that 1st goal to build and gain more confidence.
Instead Sweden scored on one of their few chances and when Sweden scored their 2nd on the 4 min pk the team unravelled. But the outcome could have been so different if the 1st period had turned out differently. But the Swedish team is mentally tough.

Technically you've won more than the US has over the last 84 years since you're guaranteed a Silver at this point.
 
Adam Larsson has been such a stud, best swedish D in this tournament so far. That says something when there's D lik OEL, Klingberg, Lindholm and Ekholm on the team.

Despite the shot differential I cant say I was nervous after Sweden took the lead.

Hopefully Canada win tonight, I'm taking my step parents exchange student (who happens to be from Canada) to the game =)

Yeah, I just saw them posing for a picture together.

Sorry, but I think you're making a lot out of nothing.

It's not like it was a handshake line or anything.

It could have been worse. He could have flung his POTG award into the stands or something.

hmm, I don't see a complete juggernaut, I see some holes and if the U.s could have just scored on their chances in the first this could have been a different game.

I wouldn't give them the gold yet if I were you.

I compare vs other swedish team more than cashing in the gold. I would love to see this D in NHL.
