now that's a bit of a stretch...come on now. Of course European countries are on the same level. But Canada is, and always will be (at least in the forseeable future), number 1. We have won the most Olympic medals (15 to USA's 12 and USSR/Russia's 10...tied with USSR in golds with 8). We dominated the Canada and World Cups which acted as the Olympics for showcasing the best players in the world in the 70s, 80s and 90s unitl 98. We have won one of three Olympic golds with NHL'ers participating. We've won two of the last three WHC, been in the final last four WJHC and won the last two. We kicked ass in the 2004 World Cup.

Canada is the Brazil of hockey. Swedes, for example, are in no position to be bitch talking Canada. The Russians and Czechs might be able to do that a bit.

No one gives a fuck about Canada in Sweden, although people over here respects them so stop talking shit please.

why wouldnt there be more players in the top list in the NHL, ffs its a North American league...and seriously Canada is the Brazil of hockey ? eh wake up man and who the fuck cares about how it where 20-30 years ago, its now that we talk about


H.Lundqvist

N.Lidstr�m N.Kronwall

D.Alfredsson M.Sundin P.Forsberg

this line would fuck up ur very best line soo stfu dude

Mattias �hlund is not going to play tomorrow night because of his injury. Tough.

Look it was a miracle on Ice that Canada went nowhere. Its like the 1980's when the USSR was defeated by us Americans-yay!

whatever happened to Mikka Kiprosoff?

like it or not, Canada is the Brazil of football, the USA of basket-ball, etc ...

history is a part of sports. Maybe not in Sweden but most sports fans care about the past and tradition.

And I still don't see Sweden winning anything yet. I can't believe you're trying to say Sweden is better than Canada when we have your number every time. 2003 and 2004 WHC anybody?

YOu're living in dream world if you don't think Canada is the #1 Hockey Nation all around.

Russia I think will beat Sweden this year

The blondies will still have to get through the Czechs first and don't count out the Finns either. They've looked by far the best this tournament. But Russia hasn't done much in the Olympics recently so it could be their turn. I'll be surprised if Sweden doesn't choke like usual...nothign personal, they just always do.

Think he's injured. Finland has still got two really good goalies and Niittym�ki has played really good. Fredrik Norrena is another very good goalie playing in the Swedish Elitserien.

Ok, Thanks

Sweden 2 Czech Republic 1

Really great first period, a lot of good chances and Sweden is playing really nice. Sundin, Modin, Kronwall and Forsberg was stunning the first period.

Also, that goal was pretty lucky even though Lundqvist should've taken it

heja Sverige!

Sweden vs. Czech Republic:

Sweden started out stunning and scored the first goal of the game after only 30 seconds or something. The Czech's replied very fast though, and 1-1 was a fact after less than 4 minutes.

Czech Republic started playing faster and better than Sweden for a period in the 1st. They had a lot of great chances to score a goal and take the lead. But insted, Sweden started playing better than the Czech's for a period and after a while, we scored 2-1.

The second period started and we started playing more effective and we scored a early goal in the second too. The upcoming minutes was going to be very important for Sweden who scored 3 goals on that short time and they increased the lead from 2-1 to 5-1.

I think many viewers thought that this would end up pretty easily in a Swedish win. But this actually reminded me of when Sweden was losing to the fins with 5-1 and won in the end with 6-5 after a stunning comeback.

Sweden got two penaltys and suddenly the Czech's got a 5 on 3 oppurtunity. They scored and 5-2 was a fact. Now they had 5 on 4 and still powerplay, They scored once again and 5-3 came. Later on Daniel Tj�rnqvist got a 2+2 penalty and Sweden was forced to play 4 on 5 for 4 minutes.

The Czech's started playing well and the Swedes to defend, but it all ended with the same result, 5-3 to Sweden.

The game was lost for the Czech's afteer a this, that's at least the my opinion. Sweden played well and managed to score 6-3 and the game was pretty much dead.

Later on in the 3rd period, Detroit's Thomas Holmstr�m scored a goal and 7-3 was a fact and the final result.

Sweden to final against either Russia or Finland.

I suspect many swedes want to meet the fins..
