Well done Ryan Getzlaf

Hmmm...Kinda torn on the Swe - Cze game. On one hand, Cze winning sets up the rivalry game between them and the Slovaks. On the other hand, a win by the Swedes keeps alive a potential Fin - Swe rivalry game.

Which would really blow the roof off of Hartwall Arena!

Got to see Sweden vs. Finland in a minor tournament (The LG Games) in Stockholm a couple years back. Neither team had any of their NHL guys (it was played in February) and the place was still rocking.

2-1 Cze after one period...

Ales Hemsky looks great when there's nobody laying the body on him.

3-1 Cze late in the 2nd period.

Sorry Dash but Ales Hemsky looks great whenever he's healthy. An awesome hockey player.

He just falls apart VERY easily.

Just checked - the moneyline on him going down with an injury in the third period is pretty decent at +640.

Zetterberg with a great play from behind the net (flipped it to himself) and stuffed it home.

3-2 after two periods for Cze. Damn, I'm gonna miss the 3rd period which should be a dandy.

3-3 now according to the TSN scoreboard

dandy indeed - Jonathan Ericsson ties it up 45 ticks into the 3rd

he's been all over the score sheet.
giveaway led to one CZE goal, was in the penalty box for another, and now gets one back.

I was just thinking that in a couple of years, Sweden could have three guys named after the Swedish phone company but their last names are spelled differently:

Loui Eriksson
Jonathan Ericsson
Tim Erixon

Okay, back to the game after this Rod Black moment.

 

[KennyBanyeah]

Alfredsson playing the setup man and no on can finish it.

 

[KennyBanyeah]

Kronwall had a Lilja moment.

Semi-finals set:

Fin - Rus
Cze - Slo (not to be confused with San Luis Obispo)

 

[BlueandWhiteForever]

Wow, brutal loss for team USA. That European ice does neither of our countries any favours when it comes to these tourneys.
