Gillipig wrote:Sweden-Canada it is then. The last time Sweden and Canada met was in 2002, Salt lake city olympics were Sweden won a round 1 meeting between the teams with 5-2. That was Canada's lone loss in a tournament they won, and Sweden went on to lose in the quarterfinals in an infamous game against Belarus. This loss is remembered in Sweden as the biggest disappointment in the history of swedish sport. Not just hockey, but any sport.
The last time Sweden and Canada met in a single game knockout match in the olympics was in 94, when Sweden won the gold medal game against Canada. Let's re-enact that game on Sunday.
Oh and I think the King will be in the arena on Sunday, no I'm not talking about Lundqvist, although he'll be there as well I sure hope. The King of Sweden has been following a lot of the sporting activities in Sochi personally and it would be very surprising if he didn't come to the biggest event of all. And to all you Canadians who don't know who the Swedish king is let me say that he's a huge sportfan and often very vocal during games. He'll probably be more vocal than all canadian fans put together in the arena. Don't believe me, photographical evidence! Look at the lady sitting on the row below him in the first pic. It's pretty obvious this wasn't the first time he yelled during the game, hehe.
You're staring yourself blind at the Olypmics though. Sweden beat Canada in the world championships Quarter-Final last year, as I'm sure you will remember if you put your mind to it, as we won the whole thing
