Russia

 

[RaskY]

I don't know.

 

[dfk711*]

I'm still mad about the game so my early pick is Russia

 

[Juzmo]

Either Russia or Sweden.

 

[MaxV]

I hope Russians can relax and regroup.

Such a nerve-wrecking game can leave a team whipped out.

 

[joe89]

I have a recipe for success: Don't go down by two or three goals in the first period.

 

[KRM]

So excited for this game, anyone know if it will be on SVT or Viasat?

 

[SurMartin]

The third periods of this years WJC are not good for my heart.
Hoping for a great game to finish off an amazing tournament!

 

[Shaun]

Khokhlachev will put the team on his back and guide Russia to victory

 

[Mestaruus]

I got Russians winning this one. Sweden didn't impress me too much today. However I got a feeling Kuznetsov will be rather invisible. Their goalie will be good tho and they'll win 1-0 or 2-0.

I can't wait for the redemption vs Canada. Really wanted Canada against us as I feel we got a lot to prove. Screw the medal, not playing for it, eventho we might get it. Canadians will be surprised.

Play hard on Kuznetsov & Co.

 

[KRM]

It will be on SVT

Great, would love to hear Chris finally get to call a gold for Sweden.

 

[Phil McKraken]

So uuh



Take that...Russia...Sweden..

 

[HankTheTankYoLo]

I think sweden will win it becuase i think this game will stuck in russias players head, and sweden made a 3d period like canada, so i think sweden have a little of advantage there, then play hard on kuznetsov and yakupov

 

[SirKillalot]

Well. It's that time of year for the regular Swedish choke job.

Good luck though.

 

[Acallabeth]

No predictions, only hope and expectations for a great final game. Go Russia!

 

[um]

good plan play hard!!!

 

[HankTheTankYoLo]

and i think that the crowd is cheering at sweden, 18k is alot, its like 2 more players

 

[HankTheTankYoLo]

good plan play hard!!!

umad?

 

[Jussi]

If Jyri Rönn is reffing in the final, both teams are screwed.

 

[llwyd]

I think this year's blue and yellow. Sweden is mentally a very tough team (as they usually are) and they won't freeze in the final. Russia can play great hockey, but they better be on their best game for 60 minutes, against Sweden 40 won't do. Anyway, good luck to both teams - am somehow bit drained and not hugely caring... Hockey is a cruel sport...

Edit: I used my 500th post for Abba. Yay.

 

[Chain Attack]

Heart says Russia, head says Sweden.
