WC: Semifinal Pre-Game Talk

[ChickenBurrito]

Oh don't worry, there's no way they'd score that many.

Agreed, Sweden would get shutout

 

[cska78]

at this point it's anybody's game, I think Rus - Cze

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

Oh no, I'm not going to keep hearing "6-1"

 

[LSnow]

Rus - Swe 4-2
Fin - Cze 1-4

 

[FiLe]

Hmm. I find it kind of hard to work out if most of us are still not giving our guys plenty of chance, or whether we are back to the regular anti-jinxing.

That being said, I like our chances against the Czechs better than I did against Canada. Which is probably going to mean that we'll lose.

 

[WinTheRightGames]

Team Finland just seems to be stumbling from game to game. Now that they've won the most important game of the tournament, who's to say that they couldn't stumble all the way to the market square? I'm now a believer.

Those games they lost in the preliminary rounds don't matter any more. All you need to do is win the right games.

 

[Mestaruus]

Put RUS & FIN to be in the final, but got a weird feeling Jagr will destroy us.

DON'T let Czechs on the powerplay I guess that is learned from Czechs last game and Finland has a huge problem in taking too many penalties, so not sure what will actually happen.

 

[Wireman]

I can certainly see us beating the Czechs. If Sweden pulls an upset I am confident that the gold is ours to lose.

Funny how opinions can change throughout a tourney...

 

[MMANumminen]

Time to put the war gear on...

Swe-Rus 3-2
Fin-Cze 4-2

Fin-Swe 6-1

 

[Morgen]

CZE - FIN 3:1
SWE - RUS 2:5

CZE - RUS 3:2

 

[QnebO]

Jokerit - Cze 3-2
Swe - Rus 1-4

The reality is that Russia is clear favorite in it's game. Jokerit's game can turn any way, but they can play without pressure, so I give it for them by one goal.

 

[Hooomr]

GO CZECHS!!! I am looking forward to the matches. Please Swedes defeat the Russians!!!! 1 - Czech 2 - Sweden 3 - Finland = I am satisfied ))

 

[goodoldhockeygame]

Swe 3 : 2 Rus

Fin 1 : 4 Cze

 

[kp61c]

Rus - Swe 1- 3
Fin - Cze 1-4
something like that

 

[FinRuutu]

Sad that we have to play against Czechs because I want them to do good also. Well, win or lose, there will be a silver lining.

 

[SwissLeaf]

Russia - Sweden 2-4
Czechs - Finland 3-5

Heja Sverige!

 

[TheFeistyFinn]

EHT top4. those tournaments aren't so useless it seems.
Swe 4 -2 Rus
Cze 4-3 Fin
Yeap

 

[aphyro]

I like this better

Na i guess it will be Chez and Russia in the gold final

 

[Jakk123]

Czechs are my pick to win it all. Final against Russia, I think.

 

[Canuckistani]

Finland 3-2 Czech Rep (shootout)
Russia 4-2 Sweden

Bronze: Sweden 3-1 Czech Rep

Gold: Russia 5-2 Finland

 

[RuuhkaTukka]

In this heat wave i´d go for the beer and would not care what is written on the can.

I also feel it is going to be a final with out northern warriors in it.

PS. I hate this Swedish propaganda. In Finland we know, that game never happened but you dirty, fool playing swedes keep bringing it up time after time. Propably some people from other counties are fooled by your propaganda but why o´ why you keep telling lies to your self and us knowledgeable Fins?

 

[maclean]

Tough to predict, I really feel both games could go either way. I'd say it will depend on the who the refs want to win

[IceHockeyDude]

Well we always beat the Czechs so I hope this one goes traditionally. We just need to skate like hell and play agressively and the Czechs will be out. I also hope that Sweden beats Russia but that would be a miracle cause Malkin is a nightmare for the opponent.

This is true but the Czechs have had history beating us many times in elimination games apart from QF's. It'll be a very close one but i have a bad feeling about it. 4-3 Czech OT/SO

Russia - Sweden game will also be a close one but that Swedish defense is just too thin against Malkin, Ovie and co. Not to mention Bob vs Nilsson. 4-2 Russia

So my prediction is Russia - Czech final.
