04:00....:/

 

[cska78]

i will be missing this game....sad...go Russia though

 

[Harikkerk]

I slept extra long not to miss this game

 

[GoJackets1]

Any chance Forsberg gets the start for Sweden?

 

[MOGiLNY]

so close to the New Year.. I'll watch the first period but not sure about the rest unfortunately

 

[Pentothal]

So Grigorenko is back and not injured?

 

[Prntscrn]

I slept extra long not to miss this game

Yeah me too! Just gotta make sure I'm back to 04:00 and in stabil condition!

 

[Dosing]

Good luck to both teams and happy new year!

Also hat off to the morons watching a hockeygame at 4am instead of on the tsn site tomorrow

 

[Everlasting]

Have to pass on this game

04:00 is just too late..

 

[Systemfel]

Any chance Forsberg gets the start for Sweden?

No chance.

 

[observerspb*]

Game show on state television.

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Since Canada/USA is meaningless, this is the new "game of the day" as far as I can see it.

Not sure who to cheer for. I'd say Russia but that might cause my head to explode from 40+ years of previous anti-Russian hockey information conflicting with this new love of...cough cough....Team Russia.

Can't pick a winner, both teams are great. Have a good game, boys! May the best team win.

 

[Helpoing]

I will have to download the game from tracker tomorrow and be sure to keep it spoiler-free untill then.

Go, Kuzya, score a pair or more

 

[observerspb*]

The Swedes very dangerous guys. Seeking a spirits.

 

[Pentothal]

Let's hope for a battle of Narva and not Poltava.

Never

On the Neva River was interesting

Good luck to both teams and happy new year!

You make a good point! If you can get up in the morning and prevent yourself from accidently seeing the score, you could watch it as if it was live. It would be hard not to see the score, but it could probably be done.

04:00....:/

Yes it *****

Put I'm so pumped fir this game.

 

[Confucius]

This will be the best game so far, I'll have to cheer for Sweden. The Canadian defeat last year is still gut wrenching.

 

[kes81sel]

Any chance Forsberg gets the start for Sweden?

Just curiose but your cheering for Russia arent you?

 

[Fehr Time*]

Sweden will win 4-2 I believe.

 

[Lugaid]

Can't you just watch this on-demand on SVTplay afterwards too? That's my plan, anyway. 4:00 AM for a groupgame just isn't worth it, to me.

 

[MOGiLNY]

any word on who is starting in net for Russia?
