Bäckström has really stepped it up this game IMO, delivered some real nice passes, not only the ones they have scored on but created more chances because of his passes.
Frig, I was hoping Slovakia would pull one out of the hat. If Canada wins, they face Sweden.

Yeah, we really have to step up a notch defensively if we want to win more games. Way too many defensive lapses tonight. As for only having Steen from NHL, it doesn't matter that much, we have skilled players who know how to play the game.I hope you aren't afraid of Sweden, we have one NHL-player and let in 4 goals in this game, nothing to be afraid of.

If somebody had told me two weeks ago that we would be facing Canada in a Seminfinal, with this roster, i would laugh my ass off.

Anyway, ive underestimated this swedish team, big time. We are a _team_ we dont' rely on anybody particular to score, but the problem is, Canada does neither. It will be a very, very intensive game.
I gotta give credit to BÃ…G. I whine at him every tournament, but he allways shut me up in the end.
If Sweden win this tournament, i promise i will clean Avenyn with a tooth brush.
You better have that tooth brush ready!
Canada(probably) will be a tough game though. But you never know.
It was due to 2 things:Haha, MÃ¥rtensson shot the camera with the 7-4 EN goal.
11 goals in a QF, amazing. I don't know what the Slovak players whined on him for, I think the Swiss ref was pretty solid. He missed a little here and there, but all penalties were by the book.
It was due to 2 things:
a) The goal on 2-3 shouldnt have counted as Jurcina didnt interfeer with the Swedish player that for him to crash into the goalie. He didnt change the path the player was going.I was watching on the Czech broadcast and they said that it shouldnt have been a goal.
b) When Jurcina got 2 for cross-checking, Steen slashed Krizan on the hand and no penalty was called while on the other side Gaborik's goal was disallowed (which was a right call) but from Gaborik's point of view, I can see why he was so upset.
We are a tactically skilled team?I agree. Looking more like the Bäckström before christmas now.
Good win. Ridiculous amount of goals scored for a quarter final though. With two tactically skilled teams I thought it would be low scoring..
Im not saying that, the Swedes deserved to win but who knows what happens if the goal on 2-3 didnt count.Conclusion?
The ref handed Sweden the game.
