great play by Sweden so far.

Swedes have been WAY better than Russia and could easily be up by 3 or 4 goals. I beleive they hit 3 Posts. Enroth looks very calm cool and collected in net.

Jesus... what is wrong with HF boards... god why is this thing so slow?

P.S Russia is lucky to be down by one goal now.

"Additionally behind the fact that Sweden were cleared for the quarter final late and the selling of the tickets started late, there was another big reason for the bad attendance. On the ticnet website, it said no tickets were available - it was already sold out. Ticnet has not spoken about this, but your own JWC watchman on place has found out the facts. On Ticnet's webpage when you're about to book a ticket, it's a red cross that means "fully booked." The reason for this is the game lies to close in time to be booked on their web site. So for you who want to watch the game tonight (live), there are still tickets left. This was confirmed in a press release from the Swedish IceHockey Association."

Seems like a lot more swedish spectators today. Terrible what happend yesterday!

[daikan]

2-1..

 

[Slitty]

Hopefully those Makarov and Cherepanov goals will calm down the Russians so they can play their game instead of running around.
