2:4 Sweden

 

[SChan*]

too bad sweden don't get any coverage here

not even close to russia, canada, usa and finland atleast. Even the swiss gets better.

 

[An Ape called Yoko]

5-3 Sweden.

Bäckström with 1 goal and 2 assists, while Bergfors has 2 goals.

 

[Kronblom]

6-2 Sweden

They have to win if they want to finish 2nd in the group and avoid Canada/USA in the quarterfinal. At least I wouldn´t bet any money on Russia beating the czechs in their last round robin game.

 

[TK79]

Swenden 4-1, setting up a great quaterfinal between Finland and Sweden!

 

[abe jr]

5-2 Sweden

This is a great game for the people of Kamloops, as it has been argued they received a less enticing schedule from the powers that be, compared to the other host site in the interior of BC...Kelowna.

Kamloops has been tremendously supportive over the course of the five games they've hosted (as has Kelowna). SWE/SVK game tonite has huge medal round implications...

 

[Vikke]

YAAAAAAAAAY! Zagrapan in the box.

Still up, eh, Preds?

Go write a news item about Mac's. We're in the finals!

Go write a news item about Mac's. We're in the finals!

I would, however, it is not my "job" at HM to cover international play and the other guy (monkey boy you know, also known as audiblegiraffe) would probably be a bit pissed not getting to write 'his' article when he gets up in the morning

The 89's sure are looking good over there.

Now... bring me some Bäckström-Bergfors magic.

 

[Vikke]

Okay, write an article about me then

 

[Riddarn]

Woohoo, we're leading! (JINX!)

 

[Preds666]

3-0 Sweden. This is one "hungry" team.

 

[Riddarn]

4-0.

Quite alot of penalties in this game.. As has been the trend the entire tournament, imho. I hope that this isn't what the IIHF has planned for the Olympics..

 

[Amadeus]

How was STRALMAN played in this tournament???

 

[Preds666]

Wow, 6-0....

 

[Riddarn]

Wow, 6-0....

Nice with some confidence in your scoring before the playoffs. I hope Larsson gets the shutout (and that he plays in the quarter final).

 

[Riddarn]

There. Game over. Nice to see that even without a single point from Bergfors & Bäckström, we've got three other lines that can do some damage.

 

[yarre]

Wow, great win, I was a little worried that they might get cooky over the previous wins but another blow-out, great work guys!

 

[Preds666]

Nice. No question about who should star in the quarterfinal. Who would have thought Sweden would win 3 out of 4 and eventually score as many goals?

Now, bring on the Swiss or the Finns, this team is heading to the semifinal!

 

[Riddarn]

Isn't it possible that we actually could end up facing the americans in the QF?

No USA can't get worse than second unless Switzerland wins with 12-1 or something like that against Finland (it is 0-1 right now with one and a half period left).
