Group B swept Group A

[Eye of Ra]

overrespect vs russia most of the times is sweden's problem and u know it

certainly not the case 2016 and 2018. we beat them at u18 final too in 2019.

- and regarding 1987, sweden needed a court decision, to be in the top4 instead of finland, this is a fact - unreal circumstances there for SWE winning that one

as a matter of fact, i believe swedes had some heavy influence @ IIHF headquarters to pull this one through - the Sikora incident

and that court decision was wrong how...?

in the playoffs, sweden played even with czechslovakia and soviet and crushed canada with 9-0.

Nya världsmästare blev överraskande Sverige, som efter domstolsbeslutet tog sig till finalomgången. Sverige lyckades vinna med bättre målskillnad gentemot Sovjet. En huvudroll i detta fick Kanada som lyckades spela en mållös match mot Sovjet men sedan förlorade med hela 9-0 i sin slutmatch mot Sverige. Det svenska laget blev "världsmästare i kavaj", då den sista matchen i turneringen spelades mellan Tjeckoslovakien mot Sovjetunionen. Vid vinst för Tjeckoslovakien skulle tjeckerna bli världsmästare och Sverige silvermedaljörer. Sovjetisk poängvinst, oavgjort eller vinst, skulle ge Sverige guldet.

Canada losing 0-9 in a meaningless game for them - why do u think that happened / how much did they care ?

 

[Eye of Ra]

what playoffs?

 

[THE JAM]

Eye of Ra, 1987 - just accept that it was not a fair game

 

[THE JAM]

I mean CANADA 0-9 !!!

 

[THE JAM]

there is no meaningsless games in wc. canadians always play hard.

 

[THE JAM]

Canadians had no chance to win anything and had a ton of drinks etc the night before, the format was as it was - and swedes slipped into the top 4 by a court order, being outside of top 4 otherwise ... just unreal

not in case they have NOTHING TO PLAY FOR

u dont know the mentality of canadians, they always play hard even if its "meaningless game".

yes a court order becuse another team was cheating.

 

[THE JAM]

Eye of Ra, please study what really happened @ 1987 Worlds

 

[THE JAM]

Why should the canadians put in some effort in a meaningless game for the 1987, if it would mean that the soviets win another Worlds again. It was not a playoff-system, just realize that - Canada was really OK losing that one to avoid the soviets winning another title (1987 was still the Iron Curtain-times)

 

[THE JAM]

Are you really thinking that SWE would of won vs CAN 1987 with the result 9-0 in a meaningful game for CAN ??

rus - CAN 0-0
CZE-SWE 3-3
CZE-CAN 4-2
SWE-rus 2-2
rus-CZE 2-1
CAN-SWE 0-9

 

[THE JAM]

I'm old enough to have seen that game on tv, just do not try to say that you think that sweden was a 9-0 powerhouse vs canada - the canadians absolutely did not care about the result, they were out of winning the tournament anyways, they were hungover and they loved to see the soviets finally not win this championship

 

[THE JAM]

In fact, everybody (excluding russians) wanted to see the USSR not to win another championship

just bumping this for Eye of Ra and waiting for a reply

I almost forgot how much group a sucked

 

[Peiskos]

I think it goes without saying that such a score isn't indicative of Canada's skill level, just like how Canada beat Sweden 6-0 in the QF at the 2016 WC isn't indicative of Sweden's skill level. Both countries are better than these losses.
