Canada will destroy the russians, Swedes win it in a tight defensive game.
There's no stopping Canada, Russia has some good karma going on right now, but Canada is too fast, too strong, too big, and just the better team. Canada will win it's 6th gold in 7 years. And I hope the U.S destroy Sweden.
I'm glad my favourite hockey "feud" is "main eventing". I feel Russia has shown more heart than any other team at this tournament, so I will not be disappointed if Canada loses to them. The only team I wanted to beat has been beaten. Also I hope Sweden beats the States so I may gloat to my American amigos.
Russia's defencemen made a huge amount of mistakes against Finland. If they play against Canada as poorly as they did against Finland, Canada will have an easy ride to the Gold. Finland did not really have enough offensive skills to capitalize on Russia's mistakes. Canada will be a different story.
The only thing keeping Canada from winning this game is their nerves. They seemed very jittery against Switzerland and if this happens in the gold medal game, Russia has a chance.
they still outshot Russia with 20 shots in the game
Swe - Rus was last week aswell.. your point?
I'm so torn about this game.
On one hand I really don't want Canada to win, since a lot the posters on this forum are about as smug and arrogant as can be. On the other hand I don't want Russia to win either after taunting and flipping the Swedes off after the shootout last night.
Sweden clearly was the better team during the majority of the game against Canada, and that game could've easily ended up 5-1 if Lehner hadn't **** the bed.
Against Russia, Sweden were asleep during the first 40 minutes, and dominated the last period + overtime. And even though they were an embarrassment during the first two periods, they still outshot Russia with 20 shots in the game, and hit the goalpost twice (and once in the shootout) along with some extraordinary saves by the Russian goaltender.
My heart says: I was dreaming and the final is actually between Sweden vs USA
But my mind says that Russia won't have anything left in the tank for this one.
5-1 Canada.
Hoping for a "new version" of the wjc 1987 and that Sweden wins the 3:rd place match and gets the Gold =).
Some (most) Canadian posters arrogance => GO ROSSYIA (sp?)

Posters on this forum don't hold a candle to the Swedish coach and commentators in terms of smugness and arrogance.
I'm not sure what the Swedes have against Canada but their true colors showed in this tournament. After a big win the Swedish coach rubs salt in the wound with his comments in the post-game, while sitting next to the Canadian coach. Even their commentators scream out "Take that Canada". After a heartbreaking loss, the Swedish goaltender whines about the refereeing and makes an off-hand comment about how this could never happen if the game involved Canada.
The Swedes got what they deserved. They didn't play a full 60 minutes against the Russians. They didn't play from whistle to whistle. They were over-confident and it showed. One win over Canada is the highlight of the tournament for the Swedes but losing the bronze will be the reality of this Swedish team.
Go USA!
