[Vladiator16*]

Congratulations to the Swedes, well played game, hoping to see you in the finals.

Color me shocked. I was sure the Czechs would wipe the floor with them. Hell, after Sweden failed on that long 5-on-3 and the PS I thought they'd fold. Surprised and pleased with that game.

 

[TollefsenFan]

Well its obvious. If u loose to Norway u win the championship. THe CZ did it last year and Sweden this year. So just let Norway win

 

[Eisen]

I love you so much right now. Did you know, every time a reference to an obscure metal song on the internet is spotted an angel gets its wings? True fact. A fallen angel that is.


This performance by Tre Kronor just blew me away. I didn't see this coming, I thought we'd go down in flames being made to look a fool by the nifty Czechs. Way to make us proud, guys!

Not obscure at all. I used to mosh to that song as a little nipper. Still great

 

[Dosing]

Watch these kids take the gold then never accept another invite, back to square 1 Altho next crop looks nice tho ;>

Swwwwwwwwweddeeeeeees baby

We have new champions... hope Sweden doesn't choke during the gold medal game.

How did Frolik and Kruger play?

I'm as biased as can be when it comes to judging Krüger but I thought he was very solid and, I believe, was nominated one of the three players of the game for Sweden by the commentators on tv.

I wish it weren't so, but sadly I think few of these here present north american kiddies ever heard of Accept, my friend. An outrage! Yup, golden oldie.

Glad to see Elias was okay after the hit he took. Congrats to Sweden

 

[zorz]

Anyway congrats to Sweden despite of that I hate their victory so much. It would be just too unreal to win again without a single loss in the whole tournament.

Thanks!

I'm happy of course but a very strange game.

The officiating was poor (let them play!) but I had expected MUCH MORE from the Czechs.

Was Sweden really this good or was it the Czechs totally choking? Perhaps a combination of both.

and I guess "Fast Victory" helped too

 

[Erathian]

Well, now I came back from the pub. I thought that I would be more disappointed, but I'm not so much. This is because the better team won. If there is no Pavelec, there would be nothing to play for. We were totally outplayed. I still don't understand our defenders. They were so bad. They let opposing players shoot whenever they wanted. Anyway, as I said, better team won, so congratulations Sweden, you were awesome! I don't care about finals because I like both teams. Good luck, enjoy
