[mikebel111*]

This is what we play for.
Lets go canada!!!!

 

[Daisy Jane]

Okay - I'm pretty sure everyone knows

 

[LeafalCrusader]

They aren't as scary up front as the US but their defense is much better. Probably another low scoring affair.

 

[Boreal01]

Glad it's at 7 AM, I don't have to worry the whole day about who will win. I think Price will have an easier time against Sweden then he did against the States.

 

[Hurt]

If Team Canada underestimates Sweden, we're in trouble. Don't take your foot off the gas!

I'm kind of thinking of cheering for Sweden because they have a player the Leafs drafted.

If Canada loses to Sweden in the Gold medal game, after beating USA to get there.. it's going to be one of the most devastating Olympics to date. I think Finland has a good chance of beating USA based on their shutdown style, and the fact that a good defence almost always beats a great offence, which is what I was saying before this game too.. but I want Kessel to medal.. so I hope they win.

Sorry. Cheering for the enemy is not allowed on our Forums.

 

[Damisoph]

Beautiful, I'm on nights and should be rolling into the driveway at about 6:45-6:50 Sunday morning.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

This game will be decided on which team's special teams is better.

But future Leaf Edler plays for Sweden and ...

Then I'll just have to cheer on Komarov, Rask and Immonen.

Rask and Immonen are the past Leo is the future!

I kind of liked Inge Hammarström who was a former rental Leaf of the past, so I'm cheering for Sweden to win the silver in this game.

This thread has common sense. Good on Leaf fans for being patriotic!! Over on my Sens board there seems to be this self-serving and disturbing anti-Canadian stance with nearly 40% of the posters there actually cheering for Sweden???? WTF???? I am embarrassed!!!

 

[ConnorTO]

its cause russia is like 9 hours ahead

so a 12pm game is like at night time for them
any shorter then would be too early for us

so the 7am is like in the day time for them, a convenient time for them

Thats ok, like 20-30% of posters here were cheering for USA too, heck I have a soft spot for Sweden and I wouldn't be as mad if they won but go Canada!!

I think that % number is high, but I wonder if those that did cheer against Canada last game are doing it again this game also, or are they back on board with Canada for gold?

That number is too high, from my viewing of these topics.

 

[notdoneyet]

canada controlling the play at all times

too much depth

 

[leafstilldeath*]

Hey Sweden who employs

-Krusty the Clown

-Henrik the pauper (king? lol)

-Karlsson the most overrated D-man in the history of hockey

P.S. As a leaf fan Olympics is the only time you will see me praise Price

 

[AustonMitchWilly]

Karlsson is leading (or tied) for most points in the tourney. Not fair to call him overrated.

I doubt it. They've thoroughly dominated all their games (5) in this tournament and I highly doubt they will underestimate a strong Swedish contingent. This Canadian team is just really really good, and I expect that they will pull out another win. If Canada gets that elusive first goal, it might just be game over.

 

[Stats01]

That doesn't make sense. You're either patriotic or not. You can't treat this as your favourite team and jump on bandwagons. If there is a Canadian out there cheering for the U.S and then decided to now cheer for Canada I wouldn't even bother talking to them. It's only a game I know but to me it's just stupid. Be proud of your country and stick with them, I don't know how people can cheer on another country that their not born in or have any connection to.

Go Canada!!!
