No dog in this fight for me, but Sweden has to be the heavy favo(u)rite.

So of course Finland scores 28 seconds in to take a 1-0 lead (lol)

I wonder if Kristian Djoos is the son of former NHLer Per Djoos?

/One of the greatest names in NHL history.

That's the correct pronunciation (lol)

Collberg just got rocked with an elbow to the head (no call).

All tied up (Sweden cashes in on the PP)

Finns respond quickly to retake the lead 2-1.

Taunting the goalie? I think that's a 15 yard pealty.

Also, I think we can put to bed any talk about this Swedish team being as good as the Canadian team in North Dakota.

I always hoped for per djoos to marry gwyneth paltrow

Dansk has been very shaky today...

Man, does Sweden ever like to run interference at the Finnish blueline. Of course, if the refs don't call it, why stop?

 

[dash]

The more I see of Teravainen, the more I think the Flames goofed (of course, the Hawks scooped him up).

 

[dash]

Brutal call (great hip check by the Finnish player)

 

[esls79]

Don't think that was a penalty

The refs are definitely making sure Sweden gets plenty of chances to tie this game...
