In my eyes this swedish team is too good to not play in the quaters. I haven't seen any game, but the loss to Finland must have been somewhat unlucky. We'll get back.

Sweden wins 3-0 after all goals by Johannes Salmonsson. Robert Nilsson will turn the slovakian defensemen outside in, while our heavy first unit will take the slovakians fighting spirit away. Well, I hope this come true.

Optimist. Swedish players can't handle pressure. Admit it, in your heart you know where this is going..

They can´t handle the pressure because they sit on the bench in their clubs more than the other top-countries. They will develop later, don´t worry.

Honestly, I'm a truly optimist. Everything can be done, just look at Belarus. The time will come for Sweden, I don't know if it is now, but soon. It just has too. I think we'll win tonight.

6-2 Slovakia

Yeah, look at Belarus.. pressure + swedish team = fiasco. I think you just proved my point

On the Habs board a couple of days ago:

yes im impressed with lindberg, he is way better than halak, halak is just awful. Lindberg needs to work on his positioning and i think he could be great goalie. Also i noticed he sometimes would lose where the puck was and that is how canada got their 4th goal( i think it was that one). Ne ways he is pretty good for like a 6th rounder

change your mind much?

 

[Preds666]

Some Swedish changes:
- Seems David Rautio will start in net
- Ola Svanberg is the extra defenseman (all his penalties, combined with a poor game overall yesterday the reason.. I imagine)
- Nicklas Bergfors promoted to the top line, will play with Carl Söderberg and Linus Videll. Very interesting. This means Fredriksson is on the fourth line

i watched the slovakia canada game and halak wasn't that bad. he made few big saves. defence didn't help him much. i hope he'll develop to great goalie which slovakia has been waiting for long time

 

[Roger's Pancreas*]

Is there another way to catch the scores for this one, you know since there aren't any NA teams involved?

Hmm. I think I'd like a Salmonsson - Nilsson - Fredriksson line. But I guess that line could be quite risky defensivly..

I agree, there seems to be a lot of Halak haters on here but he was at no fault against Canada and having seen him play in the Q a few times, he has been pretty solid. There is a decent chance that he could turn out as a good NHL goaltender.

1-0 Sweden on a Salmonsson goal.
