Pellegrino 01-05-2009, 10:04 PM Hooray! ugly game. ugly reffing but glad to see canada battle through it. Not nearly as good as the canada/russia or canada/usa games though It's amazing that I see around 250 hockey games a year and Team Canada is the only team who constantly get away with hits on the opponents goalkeeper and obviouls high sticks.

Or, aleast, congratulations to those that are not mental. I bet most of you are all right. :) Sweden didnt play their A-game, and everything, bounces, luck ect.. wasnt ours in this game. But Canada also showed an incredible offence, and the questioned goalie also did a kick ass game. I´ll say the early pp/1-0 set the tone, unfortunatly. See you next year. We have an ever stronger team then, probably. EDIT: Also, about the ref. Yes, he was bad, and yes, Canada will allways be favoured in games like these (has a lot to do with the refs. future carrier possibilities). But I´ve seen way worse than this, and he did shape up after the second. But as said, this will allways be the case, and the ref. didnt really make the score 3 - 1 either so I see no point in the whining here. BTW, we had 41 shots. WTF, where are the goals. =( Phil Parent 01-05-2009, 10:04 PM Tavares - Hodgson - Filatov Subban - Karlsson Janus Your tournament all-stars TOG26 01-05-2009, 10:04 PM I love that this Quinn team winning.

Absolutely shocking to see those dives by Markstrom. DaStinger 01-05-2009, 10:05 PM At least the Ruskies and Americans proved to be a challange, this was a route...

Hedman > Tavares. scfronty 01-05-2009, 10:05 PM Congrats on the win for Canada, and shame on the poorsport excuse spewers from both countries. Riddarn 01-05-2009, 10:06 PM Well deserved victory for Canada who simply played much better than Sweden. Bad attitude from the get go with Markström as the main character made it worse for them but really, they were never close. Maybe Mårts will learn from this and select more physical players and coaches his team to play smarter on the smaller rinks. They need to play more games against north american teams on smaller rinks than just two practice games. And last but not least... in your face STHLM. I almost enjoy this because of your massive amount of ridiculous and out right idiotic posts the last few months. sticknrink 01-05-2009, 10:06 PM Who was tourney MVP? Better have been Hodgson Savvy 01-05-2009, 10:06 PM A deserving win if I ever saw one. Great game, some great players out there.. In this game Hodgson for Canada and Hedman for Sweden IMO. See you in a year, when we will hopefully ice an even better team :) Congrats all Canadians fans. You deserve it! I personally think you guys iced a great team but your coaching staff really let your team down by letting your kids get rattled and buy into the conspiracy crap. They had no focus from the start of the game, especially because of Markstrom. That's really what killed the Swedish team in my opinion. Seachd 01-05-2009, 10:06 PM I'm interested to see if anyone will carry on our proud tradition of dropping F-bombs Toews, Domenichelli...

A big fall forward for the Swedish juniors to win two silver medals in a row. It'll also be interesting to see this Swedish team next year, as many player will be eligible to play then as well. And oh... how Markström could be run twice with no call was interesting to say the least. Junior hockey must be tougher than NHL. Pellegrino 01-05-2009, 10:08 PM why is pellegrino still complaining about the refs? sweden had more powerplays. Should have had much more. It's just silly to play those games. Canada get an extra player, 6 players on the ice, when we try to counter attack. Always ignored. Canada hit our goalkeeper. Ignored. Canada have 2 high sticks on 2 of our players. Ignored. Pääjärvi and Hjalmarsson had almost open nets, but were so hooked that they couldn't even shoot. Ignored. The thing is, NOTHING Sweden ever did was ignored, it's always penalties. It takes 4-5 situations before Canada get a pen. Mårts trashing the refs in the current interviews, well done. Rusty Shackleford 01-05-2009, 10:08 PM Woo! This is great. Malurous 01-05-2009, 10:08 PM Some thoughts on the game: - Excellent work by Tokarski, can you say money goalie? Hopefully he'll get the respect he deserves. - Awesome goal by Esposito, especially after the previous situation. Great backhand shot, and he stepped up overall in the last two games, great work. - Hodgson and Tavares showed that they are elite players in big games too. Some big plays, especially Hodgson's world class shot on the third game. - Best game of the tournament by Canadian defence, at least defensively (guys like Subban made sure they rocked offensively all tournament). - This is more of a whole tournament thing, but how the heck was Evander Kane cut?!? - Shaky refereeing, especially considering the pretty high standard in the tournament. I like the simultaneous non-calls on Esposito and Hedman and there weren't many real non-calls and only one really weird call for each team, but you couldn't really get a sense of what was ok and what wasn't. Really have to wonder about either side believing they're biased, though; do people really have to watch with a blindfold on if they root for one side? Granted, the shakiness is a cause. - Markstrom got run on quite a bit, but I didn't seen any outright dives. Embellishing, sure, and getting into lanes on purpose, but if you call those "dives" then Tokarski "dove" too at least once. Also, people who haven't watched him previously showed their ignorance with those "losing his cool" comments. He's a hothead, but it doesn't seem to bother his play. He's not the first goalie to be like that, as we know ;) - A Swedish guy BIT a Canadian? What the..? o_O That's just ridiculous. - Moller was still horrible. Bad mistake by Swedish coaches to keep playing him so much. - Many Swedes had bad games. I suppose that's partially due to a strong Canada, but they also seemed to be lacking jump. - Exceptional work by Quinn (happy to see him win) and the scouts, they were able to eliminate Sweden's most typical breakouts from previous games. The lack of jump probably helped, though. I guess this point (together with the improved defence) and the previous one constitute a chicken egg situation. - Karlsson had an amazing moustache. - The third goal, although pretty, was a bit anticlimactic as the game was pretty much over with 20 minutes to go. The next nice storyline I looked for with the game decided was a SO for Tokarski, but that didn't happen either. Meh. - Overall, a good game to watch but nothing like Canada-Russia, obviously! Congratulations, Canada! Hyperkookeez 01-05-2009, 10:08 PM tokarski as the pog?? meh Chevy Chase 01-05-2009, 10:08 PM We'll see you in the Gold medal game next year. Sweden has a record breaking young team, and lots of players will be here the next year, also Sweden has got a couple of great -91 -92 players coming up. I'll bet. And we got a 100 guys for the 5 you are thinking of. We won't hear about them until next summer, but they'll be great and they'll be on home ice again. Lookout.

Better team this game for sure. IMO Canadas best game this tournament and pretty much Swedens worst. Feels a bit bitter getting silver this year aswell but this team is very young and pretty much all keyplayers will be eligible to play next year I got good hopes for next year :) Too bad the GDT was awful with many no-brain posts and personal attacks. Best player of the game - Hodgson he was sick and I dont understand how they named Tavares the MVP. Tavares was no-show the last 2 games where it mattered while Hodgson really played great. Congrats Montrealistic 01-05-2009, 10:09 PM I thought Hodgson played pretty well, I would've chosen him, or Esposito. Michael Scott* 01-05-2009, 10:09 PM Great Job Sweden..

I think the teams were pretty equal, but Canada's powerplay was much better than Sweden's. Absolutely shocking to see the hits on our goalkeeper and the referees. No fair play whatsoever. Agree. true. International hockey doesn´t matter when playing canada. Other team dont stand a chance, canada´s advatages on and off the ice is redicilous. i think Sweden lose this by their own, but canada are crybabies if not going their way. I wouldnt except any award from this stupid games really. Great tournament though Swedes were the best....untill tonight. hehehehe TMLeafer 01-05-2009, 10:10 PM Pk! Pk!
