Russia/Sweden

[sprig]

Not sure where to find an English audio stream, but the French TSN web site is streaming this game.

Sweden is up 1-0 in the first (scored on the first PP of the period).

Now 2-1 Russia from two PP goals. The three goalposts hit by the Swedes earlier in the period could back to bite them.

Looking like you're right. Russia now up 3-1 in the second.

As much as I hate Canada, I hope they destroy the Russians. Again.

Who doesn't? The Canadians could have murdered the entire US team after today's game and I'd still want them to crush the Commies.

4-2 Russia with two minutes left. Looks like another US/Sweden matchup for bronze, Friday, 9AM.

Hate? That seems more than a bit too strong. Why? Because they're good?

Yep. Specifically because they are better than the guys I cheer for again this year. Even though their Canada's gracious fans cheered for the Russians vs. the US last year, I'll still be pulling for Canada. I just won't like it.

To each his own I guess. From my own (thoroughly red-blooded American) perspective, few countries have a better neighbor than the US does with Canada.
