Ser Reptitious Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Well, at least we made it exciting (and respectable) in the end. 6-1 would have been a pretty embarrassing final score!But yeah, it still sucks to lose! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biter Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 It feels pretty good to be a Swedish hockey fan today. I wasn't even born when Sweden last won (in 1981)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sis Who Swears Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 ...and at least Russia didn't win gold... although props have to be given to Makarov, the kid was more than a little impressive in net.Good for Sweden! They totally deserved it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spotted Pate Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I thought our team was somewhat uneven this year. Some very promising guys and some who probably wont accomplish much more after this. I was especially worried about our goalie Gustaffson who wasn´t very impressive. To be honest i´m sort of surprised we won, i was expecting silver or bronze(as usual). Anyway it was a great final to an even better championship. The highlight in my opinion was our game against Finland. Typical Sweden vs Finland thriller, them crushing us early on and followed by an amazing comeback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kairparavel Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 It's that time of year! Canada and Germany will be playing while I'm getting ready to head to Reagan but I'll catch a rebroadcast tomorrow night.I had managed to completely erase last year from memory, until the NHL Network/TSN replayed some games yesterday as a warm up for this year. Hooboy, I had completely wiped that Russia/Canada semi from my brain. Sadly, the outcome didn't change with the replay.Go Canada! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sis Who Swears Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Germany STOMP.Ahhhh hockey... how I've missed you. :wub:It's going to be better this year kair, it IS.Loving that first line, RNH and Huberdeau got some awesome chemistry. Subban had me worried but looks to have shook off the nerves. 14 straight first game wins! Bring it on!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kairparavel Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Because I am flying out of Ottawa at 7am, I am watching Canada-US live and am surprised we are up 2-0 in the second. Pleased, but surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sis Who Swears Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 Except for a few minutes here and there, that game definitely lacked the suspense I was expecting. Excellent goal-tending though.GO CANADA GOOOO!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biter Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 With Brodin, Klefbom and Hampus Lindholm all suffering injuries and Zibanejad playing in the AHL, Sweden won't repeat as champions... but I am really proud of the guys for winning their group and knocking Finland into the relegation round (Schadenfreude!). :cheers:Canada looked really good today so I think they'll go through the tournament undefeated, defeating Russia in the final... :commie:Happy New Year, everyone!

Grip Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Its going to be a great final, Sweden vs USA..Heh would be nice to win it twice in a row, though considering how well USA has played its going to be a hard fought match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marakh Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 The USA defense was downright dominating. Trouba is a freaking stud and Seth Jones is gonna be unstoppable in the NHL I think. Hockey Canada needs to change its philosophy. Chemistry was downright awful. On paper it should have not lost a single game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
