I never said that some are making it out that canada got all the bouces and sweden worked hard for every goal.
Then what where you saying. I better browse back and check again.

Again sweden got there fair bounces don't make it seem like they did not.
-Congrats to the Swedes they were the better team today and deserved the win
-Poor goaltending from both sides, I've lost a lot of faith in Roy as a prospect after watching this tourney
-To the notorious Swede homer bringing up the lame registered hockey players argument... just quit your reputation precedes itself here
Good game!
I'm a registered player.
That speaks volumes about what a registered player means in Canada relative to other countries.
The Swedes dominated large parts of the game. Canada got a lot of lucky bounces and Sweden hit the post multiple times. The so called weak goals from Sweden were are all hard shots to the top corners while Canada got carems of the glass, soccer goals and an absolute glove botch job..
I ****ing knew it, when we beat Canada the only thing the Canadians talk about are all the players they're missing and that they'd beat us easily if they were here.
I'm quite certain I know myself better than you.
The competition was the best but the outcome was irrelevant.
I'm glad you're excited.
I'm hardly devastated because Canada is still in the tournament.
Much like in the 2002 Olympics, when Sweden blew Canada out of the water in the round-robin, Canada ended up with the gold medal anyway.
A bit early to be down.
And whenever Sweden loses, it's a big conspiracy by the refs to keep 'em down. Amirite? Amirite???
Again sweden got there fair bounces don't make it seem like they did not.
The shots to top corners could be described as weak because our goalie dropped way too soon. One shot was short side which any goalie should stop if he doesn't go down early. So just like how you described the Swedish goalie having a blotched glove job, the Canadian goalie blotched on his positioning on the other goal. That's all immaterial at this point anyways. Sweden won, they played better but hardly dominated. Canada lead the game 3 different times. Sweden controlled the play more the first 40 minutes but at no part in the game did they look like they were gonna "dominate" and run away with the game or at any point did Canada look like they had no chance.
Correct.
Excuses are only okay when he makes them. Duh.
Or maybe you dont understand anything outside the Canadien border.

Both teams had unbelievably fluky goals and both teams had sub-par(at best) performances by they goaltenders. Canada had an own-goal, an unbelieavable softie and once in a lifetime bounce in just the first period. Sweden had the 3-3 tie and the big softie to 4-3. But I think I can be pretty objective when I say Sweden carried most of the play and deserved the win in the end.
Boards of Canada is an awesome band
Usually in years past our physicality thruout a game would wear down the opponent but two years in a row the opposing teams overall speed has actually wore us down. We are quite lucky to have such a home ice advantage with the crowd because its prolly worth at least one goal per game.
It's really becoming concerning how much better USA and Swedens speed and puck movement looks in comparison to Team Canada. Hats off to Sweden, they played one hell of a game and didnt back down one bit.
Sweden has been screwed by refs against Canada on numerous occasions, it's not exactly something new. But usually it doesn't mean that Canada wins due to it, just that they don't need the extra help since they are the better team even without it.
So when the Swiss or USA beat Canada.... ok.. IF they beat Canada does that knock Canada out of medal contention ?
Preliminaries end tonight. After this, all games are elimination games.
This is quite interesting. There are definetily a new wind blowing in Sweden how the approach the gameplay where more and more teams are focusing on speed due to the zero toleranse. For instance, my team Luleå Hockey has a sub par team player for player but the have mastered this new hockey really well and are in the top of the SEL.
This type of hockey focusing on speed is a red thread through out the whole national team system at the moment and time will tell if it will be successful.
I don´t think that Canada can rely on the physical game in the long run and if tonights game had been played on a big surface you would probably lost the game pretty much.
