Oooh yeah even less toughness in an intense game, smart call by Hardy :lolLeo Naphta said:Sweden wins 6-5.
Sweden is reportedly making one change in the lineup: Ragnarsson will be a healthy scratch and will be replaced by Tärnström.

Well... Difference is that Finland nowadays deploys an aggressive game overall. You can even see our smurfs handing out hits and fighting among the boards. Sure we won't have that top range mean sob, but that doesn't mean that we aren't overall better in the agressive department than Sweden. Tuomo will probably be around to deal some nice big hits, but we will be lacking one mean bastardo and one of the two formidable options we have should have been dressed, but we are still pretty strong.gib said:matti, before laughing at Hardy look what Summanen did! He did drop J.Ruutu out of the roster and did repalce him with Laaksonen. I think that is not a very good improvement in toughnes point of wiew? Now when we are without both Nieminen and Ruutu, swedes and espacially Marcus Nilson will show us how to play physical.

Take a look at some of their sized players... It's not like hit scared Forsberg is going to scare anyone. Niksu could take him out in this state :lolgib said:If looking how big sized team Sweden is, you sure notice that our smurfs aren`t going to terrify anybody. I would like to see when Kapanen or Hentunen try to tacle Sundin or Forsberg. Now we are trying to match swedes with skills, instead of concentraiting those things we are good at.

Well... If we get a late lead, we have to hope that Mats Sundin doesn't take care of the scared bunnyrabbit Hardy turns into.gib said:My english is so bad that I don`t fully understand what your are saying :lol But I was saying that we wont get benefit of being more physical team, cause there aren`t enough big and physical players on the roster. Usually when being more physical team on ice, you get lot`s of benefit about that.
I'd rather say that let the team with an NHL goalie in netsgib said:Go Finland! Go Sweden! May the better team win!
