there is still no footage of Russian players taunting Sweden after the win. sounds like it's a myth.
Remind us all again what position you play for Team Canada.
Since Jaden Schwartz is out, I have two words for ya.
Go.
Russia.
It's funny how Canadians accuse Swedes of being arrogant. There is nobody as arrogant as Canadians when it comes to hockey. Swedish players are usually models of humbleness and modesty. Lidstrom vs. Pronger. /discussion

I was in the arena and I saw no evidence of taunting.
Probably something pretty insignificant as only Nemeth (if I'm correct?) got a bit angry. I'm guessing it's a misunderstanding, like a russian pointed at one of his teammates and Nemeth thought he pointed and laughed at him..
i'm a sens fan, but i'm still not convinced that was as intentional as it was made out to be.
Probably the worst post ive read on HF in three years. It reaks of misinformation, lies and arrogance.
Anyway, i expect Canada to win. I don't care about the bronze game. USA will probably come out on top.
well, there is ~12hs left and all i can say is that canada remains the favorites. This game will come down to grit and will, and canada is far ahead any country in those categories.
While Canada is definitely the team to beat, I don't agree. Yeah it comes down to will, but grit? If we are 3-3 and Kuznetsov dekes past half of Canadian defense and scores like he did with Finland, then skills might decide a game too.
However, Canada is the team to beat, but this doesn't mean that the game starts with Canada up by 5 goals by default like some posters keep on saying.
Something a Russian coach told me after watching a game once- "Sometimes, it's not how the team plays, its how the other team lets them play..."
I highly doubt after watching this Russian team, that they will let the Canadians walk all over them. Whether its physically, psychologically or otherwise.
I do like all the Canadians underestimating the Russians- they thrive on being underdogs and surprising. Keep up the talk - Canada 5 - 0 Russia! It worked out great for Finland, Sweden
Russians have probably the best offence in this tourney
Should I list other Swedish players vs. Canadian? Alfredsson? Sundin? Forsberg? Zetterberg? All -- real classy athletes. I can only name two Canadian players that would be on that level of classiness: Yzerman and Sakic. I think, all in all, Swedes are a dozen notches above average Canadian players. Let alone Canadian fans.
