[Sabresbyswords104]

6-2 Sweden

 

[Brunkmeister]

Perfect time this. Not very early, but still time to hit the golf course after.

 

[kudla]

3-2 Czechia

 

[Lambo]

2:1 Sweden

 

[Old Man Jags]

I have an unpleasant feeling in my gut that it will be 4-1 Sweden. Two of the goals will be lucky bounces. The Czechs score a PP goal.

Obviously I really hope it goes the other way and I don't think it's impossible.

Either way, thank goodness we won the quarterfinals. Now I can relax, abject failure avoided, win or lose today.

In a finale I would support Sweden. However, I like our chances better against Czechia, so I'm cheering for Czechia in this one!

just out if curiosity, why would you normally support Sweden?

 

[Phil McKraken]

4 - 2 Czechia. Pastrnak & co with a home crowd will become too much for Sweden.

Some or even most of my favorite players are Swedish.

Former NHL players (Forsberg, Sundin etc). And Willy is my favorite Leafs player.

My all-time favorite player of my Swiss team is also a Swede... Leif Rohlin.

That's why I'm usually rooting for Sweden (as long as they don't play us).

Peter Forsberg was a legend. Well, still is.

Hoping for a great one here, let's go!

 

[Brunkmeister]

Omg

 

[Goose The Cat]

Kempe lmao

 

[Summer Rose]

Well that was a quick penalty.

 

[Czechboy]

No real changes to lineup.. this is our best possible lineup IMO and I have no complains going in.

Sweden is better, we all know that. Hope we can make a good game of it.

 

[Czechboy]

Sounds about right.

 

[Czechboy]

Shame no goal.. that was a damn good PP after a very unique call.lol

 

[Old Man Jags]

1-0 a lot sooner than I had hoped. Sweden looking very strong.
