Here's what sensationalism is, he could have said just before that the Canadian D was the best so far, but the only thing the media wants to tell you is that he's criticising the Canadian team. It's pretty unbelievable how Sweden is being treated, called classless and cocky and so on, when the overwhelming majority of Swedish hockey players are of the Lidström, Sedin, Zetterberg and Bäckström-type in character. People see what they want to see.
when is gold medal game scheduled? Is it tomorrow?
But I guess there's some unwritten rule that states that you shall never ever say that another team has been better than Canada. Even in a single game in the damn JWC.
Wednesday.when is gold medal game scheduled? Is it tomorrow?
So you don't see how his saying the Czechs and Russians played better offensively than us, despite the fact that they combined for less goals against his team, could be taken as unnecessary provocation?
if it was tomorrow, our team wouldn't make it past the 1st period probably..
Canadians come of as far more arrogant than Swedes.
And Im no Sweden-fan.
I merely responded to what your coach said. I fail to see how that is sensationalism.
Whatever, it's the past now. Maybe we'll revisit it if Canada loses tonight.
I want to say to Swedish fans - the same thing I said after game one - you have a great team, a great system and a bunch of great players - I am very proud we had beaten you, especially proud - we did it on 15 hour rest. Keep up your spirits and win the bronze!
p.s. where is that clown who said Russia has no chance?
judging by a handful of posts on an interest board right?

Rönnberg: “I think actually, we had tougher games against the Czechs and Russians,” Rönnberg said. “Those games were tougher for us to control. I think they play better offensively than Canada did tonight.”
So he gave his honest opinion that the other games were tactically harder to play through and that he felt Sweden was actually in good control in large parts of the game vs. Canada, which many Canadian fans agreed on. In one frigging round robin game. Crap storm ensues. Canadian sensationalist media goes crazy*, Canada not put on pedestal, despite having struggles in the actual game that was played. Canadian fans with fragile egos expected to hunt this quote for a week (probably infinitely) and sure, we can see that.
In what way has he disgraced the godly Canada? Did he say anything about the actual Canadian team? Did he say anything about their chances to win gold? Did anyone ask him about it?
Ronnberg smacks Team Canada (yeah right, thanks mr. sensationalist):

Amazing how you can form the base of an entire article based on one quote, isn't it? Nevermind what he actually meant, it's easier to form opinions of your own!:

Again... don't try to put this crap on a coach that gave his honest opinion of the round robin games. It's your attitude that's the problem here. If you can't handle Canada isn't put on a pedestal in every frigging interview regardless of the game picture, just censor the whole damn thing and stop being such hypocrites.
This is beyond ridiculous.
Clearly, those who took affront to Rönnbergs comments were just very silly persons.
I think the clown was Vatanen from Finland and Kuznetsov sent his message to him

So Dave Cameron is a very silly person, huh?
