[Bloody Sabbath]

3-2 Sweden

Alfredsson, Ohlund and Axelsson score for Sweden

Hejduk and Jagr for the Czechs

Tellqvist has a great game.

 

[GKJ]

4-2 Sweden

 

[guinness]

3-1 Sweden, Naslund wakes up and Forsberg plays through the pain, PP goal by Lidstrom.

 

[Bill McNeal]

5-3 Czech Republic. Sweden plays amazing offensively, but their goaltending lets them down.

 

[Hemsky is a gangsta]

re

4-1 Czechs. Though both teams are loaded with offensive talent it comes down to a battle of goaltending and well, Tellqvist loses

 

[VanIslander]

5-3 Czech Republic. Sweden...their goaltending lets them down.

Their powerplay is magnificent but they had serious trouble 5-on-5 against Finland so I too think Czech has the horses to get it done.

6-2 Czech win.

(Though neither team will be in the final I predict.)

 

[Poikilitic]

pessimistic? When
Tre Kronor wins 4-0
Alfredsson
Sundin
Modin
Johnsson !!!

 

[High flyin' Habs*]

4-3 sweden

 

[Seiza]

1-1
Jönsson
Hejduk

Czechs win it in OT, goal scored by Vaclav Prospal.

Pessimistic, who?

 

[SChan*]

2-1 Czechs.

Sweden do their usual big game choking.

 

[Eds]

4-3 for Sweden.

 

[Shack]

This is easy. 4-3 for Czechs. You can only guess how beautiful will the game winning goal be

 

[kjri]

Since HÃ¥rde Hardy took over Sweden, their defence has been suspect to me. Czech 4-3.

 

[Robertsson 4-ever]

Sweden will win 3-1.
Two goals by Forsberg and one by Alfredsson.

 

[Predatore]

changes made.

Jörgen Jönsson replaces Henrik Zetterberg on the second line and will play center between Forsberg and Näslund.

Daniel Tjärnqvist out, Marcus Ragnarsson in.
So the Swedish lines tonight should be:

Fredrik Modin - Mats Sundin - Daniel Alfredsson
Peter Forsberg - Jörgen Jönsson - Markus Näslund
Andreas Johansson - Henrik Zetterberg - PJ Axelsson
Marcus Nilson - Samuel Påhlsson - Tomas Holmström

Nicklas Lidström - Kim Johnsson
Mattias Öhlund - Dick Tärnström
Mattias Norström - Marcus Ragnarsson

Mikael Tellqvist
Tommy Salo

Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin, Nils Ekman, Christian Bäckman and Henrik Lundqvist have yet to play a minute in this tournament.

 

[Poikilitic]

domination by the Sundin line once again
Why is Holmström all the way down there

 

[Shack]

Hopefully Sweden gets their "lost" stars back to track. Näslund, Zettenberg, Forsberg. Not that they've played bad, but I expect alot more.

And I wan't to see more goals than in Finland-Germany game. That's possible because there's ALOT more indivitual skill on ice tonight.

 

[Shack]

Why is Holmström all the way down there

If I could make the lines they would be.

1. Modin-Sundin-Holmström
2. Fobba-Zettenberg-Alfredsson
3. Nilsson-Jönsson-Näslund
4. Johansson-PÃ¥hlsson-Axelsson

Nicklas Lidström - Mattias Öhlund
Mattias Norström - Dick Tärnström
Kim Johnsson - Marcus Ragnarsson

 

[Seiza]

Why isn't Hardy making some changes where it's really needed? Redo the defensive pairings!! Hardy drives me insane..

 

[Riddarn]

I say this will be a blowout for the Czechs. 7-1 Czech Republic!

 

[ALF AmericanLionsFan]

Sweden 4 Czech Republic 3 in OT.

 

[Max Denby]

6-3 Czechs

 

[Moskau]

This is easy. 4-3 for Czechs. You can only guess how beautiful will the game winning goal be

Dump in off the ref's ass?

 

[Tume]

4-2 to Sweden or Czech Republic, don't know the winner yet, but that's the score...
