If anyone are betting, I can almost gaurantee you that Italy won't score more then 1 goal. Like 97/100 Liv gets the SO, 2/100 Italy scores 2 goals and 1/100 they score 1+ goals.

This team was crushed by the Swiss. Defenitly the worst team in the A pool.

...This team was crushed by the Swiss. Defenitly the worst team in the A pool.

I don't think a lot of spectators were expecting SLO
to have scored 7 goals after two games, FIN and CZE.

Also ITA's 1-3 result against the SUI, with a late empty
netter can hardly be described as being 'crushed'.

I have no doubts SWE is going to win the game, but
team SWE needs to go out seriously.

The swiss outshoot the italiens with 41 to 14, so the result could be definitively higher. So I would say the three kronors will have an easy game and win 7:2 or something like that...

Just as the CZE outshoot SLO 39-13
resulting in a final score of 5-4 and
respectively FIN outshot SLO 44-13
resulting in 5-3.

Final score counts, not the amount of
shots, therefore "could" is speculative.

All I am saying is domination does not
always guarantee the outcome. I have
no doubts SWE will win, I just said they
need to play seriously.

Maybe I am underrating them, but their attack looked terribly slow, against the Swiss. The Swiss only won 3-1 but there was only one team on the ice.

They have a couple of good players, who are especially good offensivly, and are keeping them in the A pool so far. But thoose same offensive players are really slow and on the old side. Cirone is IMO their best player, and he is 35 y/o. I wouldn't be suprised if all they manage in this game is a couple of bounce pucks on net, nothing more.

I just don't think there are any Rodman-Kopitar duos on Italys roster. The impression I got of Italy where that they where terrible, even compared with Kazakstahn/Denmark/Ukraine and Co.

They are like Slovenia without Rodman and Kopitar, though Slovenia probably have the 4-5 worst players in the tournament on their 3rd-4th line.

Should be easy game for our neighbours. 6-0. Does the Detroit guys play tonight?

Ola,

If SWE goes out with a serious work attitude,
a 5-6-7 goal difference can easily happen in
favor of team SWE. In addition and as a bonus,
in this case a shut out is very much possible.

4-0, decent game, Kenny Jönsson with two goals, not bad. I don't like the fact that they separted Emwall - Karlsson - Melin.

Only one 5-on-5 goal, and that was just after a penalty expired. I hope to see more in that department.. The Latvian crowds noise thing is getting old quickly.
