Oooo, sorry, we were looking for
"It's a Scandoff! Sweden v. Finland for all the furniture"

...but thanks for playing.

In the furniture wars, I give the edge to Sweden...but here, I'll pick Finland.

There, I just sealed Finland's fate.

That could be the first time I've seen "breakout performance" and "Jokinen" in the same sentence.

Just saw on the ticker that Lehtonen will start for Finland today (Rask has some kind of illness). That's a tough loss for Suomi.

If they do lose, Finland can hope to have Rask back in time for the bronze medal game vs the Americans

Sweden is looking fast so far. Let's hope Lehtonen is up to task.

WOW ... no shit ... big loss!!!!

 

[craigk217]

Game on!!!!!

Sweden is winning all of the play on the boards.

A few really good opportunities so far for Finland.

Berglund was great for most of that shift. The roughing at the end - not so much.

Next penalty will go to Suomi...

Sweden has played better, but Finland has got the better chances thanks to all of the powerplays. Would have liked to have seen something develop from the 5-on-3.
