[Dominus]

Sweden is a clear favorite. Especially their D looks scary. I already lost money in Russia game and I'd like to lose some more today. Betting against Finland till the bitter end!

Another very unproductive work day ahead... Can't wait till afternoon!

 

[Swedish playmaker*]

For gods sake, let Nyquist play. To hell with Johansson and Silfverberg.

 

[PG Canuck]

Go Finland!

 

[VerySuperFamous]

2-1 Finland

 

[PredragD]

Fins have looked good, but lack the playmakers to overcome the deep D of Tre Kronor.

Sweden wins 2-0.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

why is silfverberg playing???

 

[thepuckmonster]

Come on Sedin and Edler, win it for this biased homer.

 

[Teemu Salami]

Go Teemu!

 

[f1nn]

excitement - 100
productivity - 0
carebears about 0 productivity - 0
score - Sweden 3-2 (prove me wrong boys)

 

[B Boarding]

Finland's superior team play overcomes Sweden's puck possession and skill and wins 3-1. Last goal an empty netter.

 

[Spinkis]

Sweden please win I won't be able to watch the whole game and would like to sit down and watch the Sweden-USA final on sunday.

 

[f1nn]

Sweden please win I won't be able to watch the whole game and would like to sit down and watch the Sweden-Canada game on Saturday.

ftfy

 

[Spinkis]

ftfy

Haha FU! I wan't to watch this game sooooo bad!

 

[Lomac]

Go Teemu!!

 

[LiveeviL]

Anyone who can give some input on the refs, so that we know what to expect from them?

 

[Ducksgo*]

3 hour countdown. Game is on NBCSports for Americans

 

[Striderr*]

I am so anxious that i can't sit still... Don't know if i will be able to watch the game unless Sweden is leading comfortably. I'm not good at this

 

[CPFC]

3 hour countdown. Game is on NBCSports for Americans

Make it 4 hours, actually.

 

[Ducksgo*]

Make it 4 hours, actually.

Your right

 

[Petri1981]

So nervous. Whoever wins this hockey game, I hope goes all the way to the gold medal.

 

[Ivan13]

So this game is on at 1PM here, I guess this will be one of those ''hardly working'' days at the office.

 

[f1nn]

So this game is on at 1PM here, I guess this will be one of those ''hardly working'' days at the office.

already in the Finland-Austria game which was at 10am, the city of Tampere's public servers nearly crashed due to being overloaded by city employees streaming the game

 

[Hedning]

Hoping Nyquist get a regular spot in today's lineup. He's been looking good when he's got ice time. (I'm guessing the lineups posted, just are reflecting on the last game)

Will be a nail biter as usual. Counting down... tick tock

Well, quite popular opinion seems to be that at least Tim Peel is the worst ref ever.
