Nilson nails Havlat.

 

[Predatore]

a lot of focus on the goalies, but it is actually the defense thas has sucked terribly so far in this game
and Markus Näslund, oh my oh my.. bench him already.

The Czechs are looking really strong...

 

[D-iceman]

hope Dahlén vill give the players something to think about in the break...

 

[rival]

The Swedes are losing because they haven't played the Sedins.

Even though I think you're being sarcastic you'd have to admit they could really use a pair of guys guaranteed to keep the puck in the other end.

 

[Riddarn]

2-0 to the Czechs. Right on schedule. 3 or 4 shots on goal for Sweden, including the first few shots in the first shift and the 1.45 minutes of powerplay. As expected the defensive play is virtually nonexistant and they are sloppy in the neutral zone. I wouldn't want to be Tellqvist after this one, it will be a blowout and he'll end up looking stupid on a lot of the goals that the poor defense really caused.

 

[Arne]

Well, I hope that Sweden stays in Sweden...
2-0, but they will come back. 3-2 to Sweden

 

[Shack]

I know Sweden wants this win more and this tournament means much more to Sweden than it means to Czech.

Why do Czech have number 21 on their shirts then? Doesn't that mean anything for them?

No, I'm serious. Pahlsson and Johansson? Play the Sedins.

Coach Ivan Hlinka died 2 weeks before the World Cup and used to wear #21.

Sorry, I didn't read your post correctly.

A 2-0 score line to the Czech's isn't that surprising. We all know they played extremely poorly in the round robin, but what does that matter now. They just need to win this game to wash al those poor performances away. But having said that, the form sweden showed in opening round suggested they would be a force in these knock out stages.... its still all to play for and either way a talented side will progress and one will go out. I think sweden will come back to squeak it in the late stages of the third.

Everyone raise your hand if you care what Greg Millen thinks.

Thought so. I wish he'd just shut it.

 

[Mr. Penguin]

What Greg Millen thinks then?

 

[Bill McNeal]

Powerplay for the Swedes. Perfect opportunity to cut the lead in half.

For those of us not watching and who cannot read Emoticon, what does that mean? A Jagr goal?

No typical nothingness. And im not a fan.

 

[Drake1588]

Thanks for the updates, everyone!

 

[cfrancis]

nice, as much as I think the Czechs can be dangerous. I'm more scared of the swedes.
