Alright, same goes for this GDT as the other one today. There will be zero acceptance of OT posting, baiting, trolling, etc.

Everyone has their go in the pre-game thread, now it's time to straighten out.

The poll in the pre-game thread was 130-126 Sweden, wow that's tight! This is gonna be a dandy!

 

[Shaun]

Lets go Russia

 

[SChan*]

Filip Forsberg outside the team is simply idiotic

 

[Harikkerk]

Close game, won't predict any results...Really nervous, finally we got a chance to get that DAMN gold. Let's see how much the boys wants it.

 

[saintflannel]

Way too tired. Good bless PVR.

 

[vorky]

sorry for my bad knowledge. Have Sweden won Gold at WJC in past?

 

[Dosing]

Alittle hock'n'roll to keep people awake ;>


Funny södergren would make a better popstar then off-ice expert


FORZA BLÃ…GULT!!!

 

[Keke]

Good luck Sweden!!

 

[saintflannel]

sorry for my bad knowledge. Have Sweden won Gold at WJC in past?

Not since 81. lol

 

[WayneBruce]

Kuznetsov has been pointless against us in the WJC the 4 times we have faced him, lets keep it that way boys!

 

[Kiefer]

Hoping for a good game where the ref's stay in the background.

Go Sweden!

 

[Nordic*]

Filip Forsberg outside the team is simply idiotic

He's created a ton but hasn't been able to put a single goal in the net. But I agree, it's a stupid decision that will really be hard for Ronnberg to explain if Sweden lose.

 

[Caz]

Ok, time to join the SWE bandwagon. Go SWE!
Heja Sverige och du gamla och fria och allt det där.
Och den glider in förstås.

 

[Nash]

If the Russians don't fall asleep for a period today, they will win handily.

Also, there will be plenty of bashing about Canada and the officials in some weird kind of conspiracy against one or more teams...especially by one nordic poster.

 

[SChan*]

He's created a ton but hasn't been able to put a single goal in the net. But I agree, it's a stupid decision that will really be hard for Ronnberg to explain if Sweden lose.

yeah but atleast he has created, sooner or later the points will come. And the final would been an excellent time to do it.

 

[Nordic*]

Sweden won the poll in the other thread, does this mean that we already won the gold?

Or do we still have to actually play the game?

 

[russianhockey]

the bookies think also about 50/50 (54% russia). nobody knows, what will happen today

 

[Phil McKraken]

Sweden won the poll in the other thread, does this mean that we already won the gold?

It only means that a loss would now be considered a choke.

 

[KaylaJ]

Like I said in the other thread Go Russia, good luck Sweden. Hope for a good game.


And thanks to the mods. Sometimes I think you guys have the hardest jobs on HF with this part of the board

 

[Fel 96]

I hope Russia win the gold medal.

Win it for the Lokomotiv team who had 2 WJC players from last year!

 

[tenho995]

a good stream anyone please?

 

[Harikkerk]

Ok, time to join the SWE bandwagon. Go SWE!
Heja Sverige och du gamla och fria och allt det där.
Och den glider in förstås.

haha "Den glider in" heard that's a famous song in Finland since you won 6-1
