Poor effort by sweden in this game.Czechs deserve the win.The swedes should of been able to generate far more offense than they have.Credit to the Czech's for playing a very solid game.

 

[guinness]

Sweden is just playing terrible, no focus whatsoever.

 

[Dave is a killer]

damn Forsberg is just such a lazy player...I thought he was the most DOMINANT player in the world...yet all he does is complain on the Power Play...ON THE POWER PLAY...who the freak complains on the Power Play?...NO ONE...you try to SCORE on the POWER PLAY...slug

Zidlicky has been *really* impressive in this game and the tournament overall. I didn't see a lot of him last season, but he's been great so far. With him and Timonen, Nashville fans have a lot to look forward to.

Hey Swedes, ever been to India ?? Get that India !!

I don't get it...

A vicious beating. Fine effort from the Czechs.

Sweden's starting to show some life....a little too late maybe

Me and SNA were talking about it in the chat, and it's something I've thought for a few years.

Forsberg is indeed one of the laziest players I've seen. Now before all you Foppa lovers say "Look at all his points". I said he was lazy, but he's damn good.

When I watch him play, it's almost like a lightbulb will go off in his head every 10 shifts or so telling him to make something happen, and he will. But he's no where near the complete player people say he is.

I've thought for a while now, and his comments reassure it, his heart is not in the NHL anymore, and by after watching this tournament I wonder if he cares about Hockey anymore in general.

Axelsson has played a strong game as well.

It's all over!

I counted the czechs out, but my winner pick has shifted from Russia to them now.

 

[Teezax]

Even germany played better than the Swedes in the quarter finals, just goes to show they cant get it done when it's all on the line!

 

[Bloody Sabbath]

Regardless of how horrible Sweden played, the Czechs looked like a championship team in this game.

Congrats Czech Fans!

Excellent effort by the Czech Republic. More or less flawless defense and excellent offense + solid goaltending. Perfect.

As for Sweden.. we will be back in 10-20 years!

It's good to see them both do well. Nashville may not have a lot of stars, but we have two of the best offensive Dmen in the game.

Forsberg's not lazy, he just has no patience. He gets frustrated so easily, which is why everyone he plays against makes it a point to try to get in his head. When he's off his game you can't say he's not trying, he just doesn't focus his energy in the right place.

Then he can't be considered the games best if he's put off his game that easily. Other star players are subject to the same abuse.

IF we get our act together. Btw pred, I predicted a 7-1 win for Czech. I was pretty close..

 

[Preds666]

Reg Forsberg,
Has everyone forgot that Forsberg is more than one month behind all players in terms of practice? It was for a long time unsure if he'd even dress up for Sweden.
I would be surprised if he was able to even give 50%.

The player people should be concentrating on is Markus Näslund, if you have that urge to single out players.

I was just about to quote your prediction and give you a

Just beautiful. The game that Czechz played was so beautiful. It was like a sculpture or magnificent painting that they have made to honour Ivan Hlinka.
