swedish news repors a bizzare story.
"I was filming Canada's training, we do so with all opponents as Sweden faces. I noticed immediately that it was tense. Their video coach stood in the way of the camera and head coach fired pucks at me and the camera. Then I got the bench where the coach explained how bad I was and how unsportsmanlike Sweden behaved, says Andersson."
Later Tie Domi(!) steals the camera
hahahahhaha

No team should be video taping any team, the practice pf video-taping should be banned.
These are 16=17 year old players..worry about video taping when you get to the pros.
Stay Classy Sweden, hard to do, but at least try.
What? Are you mental or something? Video taping other team's been around for ages in all sports. It's called "scouting".

Not practice...video taping an opponent's 's practice is a new concept.. Here's a novel approach, ask permission to video tape a team's practice and if they agree to it, then knock yourself out, if not, then respect their decision/wish not to be video taped. That simple. Since when do do you think you have the devine right to do what ever the hell you choose? Ask the team's permission, if they don't want it, move on, shut your ***hole and go tape ducks in the park.

but I think Canada had every right to practice without it being videotaped.

Teams sometimes have closed practices because they don't want opponents to even watch what they're doing.
Well, there are closed practices in Europe too, but this one wasn't.
Teams look at game tape but they're not supposed to tape practices. The New England Patriots were fined $500,000 for doing it in 2007. Maybe it's different in Europe but it's a no-no in North America for sure. Teams sometimes have closed practices because they don't want opponents to even watch what they're doing.
, I believe a team has the right to a closed practice if it so chooses, all teams, even Team Sweden.
Do Swedish teams routinely go to opponents practices and video tape?
The puck wasn't even close to the guy
Or how about Team Canada playing by the rules set by the IIHF for this? That would be the mature way of behaving.
And that is all that matters.
