I'm as big a Team Russia fanboy as anyone but Sweden flat out deserved that game. Looked like our boys were tired or just gave up.

Im from Sweden and this is not true at all.
"Enormous pressure from swedish media on swedish team"? Actually not many cares in Sweden.
Exactly, I think we can put to rest that Canada is the only Country that cares comments.

Yes, even the Finnish hockey community went crazy when they heard they were gonna play the semi against Sweden.
Haha, that's an over statement. A small part of the hockey community perhaps did. And hockey community is a very small part of the population. I don't think overall many bothered to watch any of the games. That's just the way it has always been. Here it's WC and Olympic hockey that gets people interested.
It's been done already but I gotta give thanks to the support by the Canadian fans. I'm sure it helped the Swedes alot. The SO win against the Russians was key to getting to the finals and getting a psychological advantage against the Russians. I don't think they would have made it without the support.
It was so fun watching the Swedish broadcast after the gold medal game, it was real amateur hour. State TV so no commercial breaks and they had no real talking points or video analysis and it wasn't clear who was supposed to do the hosting, interviewing and such, just shooting the **** with whichever player or team staff that came by and at times the team themselves seem to have had more control of the broadcast and turned interviewers themselves several times. The cuts between video feeds was hilarious, they didn't seem to have any communication between them, I guess the technical staff were all partying hard as well.
We dominated Russia in both games. Unfortunately they had goalies standing on their respective heads in both games, at the same time as Sweden lacked top notch shooters.
