Is there any source on the web for live streaming coverage (radio or video) of the Germany Sweden game? I am at work and can't watch the game on ESPN.

Don't know about radio or video but here's something for ya.

ESPN for broadband I believe is broadcasting the games. I dont have the link so you'll have to snoop around espn.com.

 

[Knucklez]

So the game is at 10am if I live in BC? I'll be watching it at work

Aside from Canada of course, Sweden is the only team I really care about watching. Lots of Canucks, but not just that, Naslund, Ohlund, Modin, Nilson, and the Sedins are some of my favourite players.

Go Sweden!

Sad if the twins will have to sit. Especially in a game vs Germany, they have the perfect skills for beating a defensive-minded team as this is. I could understand if the were overlooked vs Canada or Finland, were we must have a lot of defensive players (although I don't like that either) but against Germany? Shame on you Hardy.

I agree that the twins ought to play against the Germans - and Bäckman too for that matter - but they haven't done enough yet to deserve a place in the starting lineup when the going gets tough. Quite honestly Zetterberg was always the engine on that line - which after all only managed one goal in three games, not too impressive - and the twins made some awful moves in the defensive zone. And besides, if they are going to play the twins, they will have to scratch someone like Påhlsson, who probably deserves to play.

It will be hard for Jan Benda to score since he isn´t playing in this tournament.

 

[Leo Naphta]

Expressen (yeah, I know...) reports that the Swedish team will look like this today:

Modin Sundin Alfredsson
Näslund Zetterberg Forsberg
Axelsson Jönsson A. Johansson
Holmström Påhlsson Nilson

Lidström Johnson
Norström Ragnarsson
Tjärnqvist Öhlund

Salo
(Tellqvist)

No injuries reported, so the rest are healthy scratches.

This has now been confirmed by Swehockey. http://stats.swehockey.se

 

[Egil]

Will Alfredsson be playing the point on the PP?

 

[TORRUS]

The final battle for the golden generation. It's now or never for the Three Crowns.

Oh, just take the world cup and watch Russia taking the Olympics!

 

[Douggy]

People keep talking about Germany's Defensive 'system,' but they recently changed coaches and they play a more offensive style now.

 

[Leo Naphta]

Oh, just take the world cup and watch Russia taking the Olympics!

Deal!

 

[Leo Naphta]

Will Alfredsson be playing the point on the PP?

He is on the second PP unit. He was on the point last week, but they will reportedly have two d-man on the point tonight.

 

[Predatore]

woho, the game starts in 30 minutes.
Finally some hockey, this summer has been way too long!

 

[Sotnos]

woho, the game starts in 30 minutes.
Finally some hockey, this summer has been way too long!

Amen to that!

I'm happy that Modin is on the first line, hope he has a good game.

Nice avatar, Pred! If anyone knows where you can order Team Sweden jerseys online that have the names on the bottom like that, please PM me! The only places I've seen them are on Swedish websites that don't take credit cards.

What, no Benda?

 

[Predatore]

What, no Benda?

Benda's Russian team (Khimik) did not allow him to compete in the tournament. The Russian Hockey League starts tomorrow, so they don't want Benda to miss any games.
