Starting in goal for the Swedes?

 

[Crazyhorse]

I will be very surprised if it isn't Gistedt again.

Anyway, i hope we could get our offence going today.

Prediction: Swe - Slo: 4-1

 

[hifk88]

6-2 for Sweden.

 

[cibtom]

my prediction: Swe - Svk: 4:1

 

[Jazz]

6-2 Swe

 

[phoow]

6-2 for Sweden.

 

[lopper]

5-0 for Sweden. They need a bug win to not only stay in the race for the second seed in pool A for the playoff round but to gain some confidence and momentum for their big game against the US.

 

[Crazyhorse]

BTW, i know this is offtopic, but how come we never play in the blue jersey nowadays?

Maybe the death of Sandlin can spark the guys emotionally today. Especially Backstrom who is a brynasare afterall, and sandlin recently praised him.

Yeah, to honor his memory, they should put up a hell of a game.

agreed.

Sweden has to win this game in order to advance and the Slovaks knows it. Which is perfect for them because that means that they can do what CzechoSlovakian teams do best, sit back and defend and wait for turnovers.

Go Sweden! Lets get the 3 points tonight.

Go Slovakia! Do they even have a decent team this year? I don't really follow their junior team very closely, but I'm chearing for them because I have family from Slovakia.

 

[heygarebear]

is this game going to be TSN, or anywhere with internet link?

 

[Devs4L]

will this game be streamed anywhere on the internet? if it will be, a link would be great.

 

[daikan]

Ok, 10 minutes to go. I'm getting excited!

Jhonas Enroth in net apparently. Why?!

Edit: Bendelin says it's because he doesn't want one goalie to play too many games, and Enroth has looked good in practice. I still think it's a bad choice, this is an important game and Gistedt was very solid against Canada.

Enroth is starting today.

Nice tempo, fast game.

 

[daikan]

Berglund 1-0!!! Great, deceptive shot on a 2 (or 3) on 1.

 

[Telecaster]

Berglund! 1-0

 

[Preds666]

excellent shot by Berglund.

 

[Telecaster]

Damn that was a sweet shot. Sneaky wrister.
