Better than getting spanked by the Ruskies in the Bronze medal game

Bronze, who cares? At least we beat out brothers to the east, thats the only thing important in these tournaments.

Haha! Canadian cry babies

Edit: Talking about the fight at the end.. 3-0 .. just accept it.

Oh, give me a break. The very definition of a cry baby are the swedes after losing yet another important game after raising the expectations way to high, whining about the refferee, the coach, the overpaid star-players (whom you love until you need someone to blame) etc.

Danny Heatley's persistent slashing of the czech defender who refused to stop hooking him in the groin was nothing but beautiful and deserves our salutation.

Whatever floats yer boat (my expectations were quite low btw, don’t blame us if shitty media such as Sportbladet starts hyping the team).
I just thought it was kinda pathetic seeing the players act like cry babies and start to fight when you are under 3-0..

Tough loss, going out to the Czechs isn't so bad because they were as solid and deep a team as there was in the tourney, but getting shut out sucks. Having so many guys who didn't play this year definitely was a huge problem late in the rounds. Ah well, even though most ppl thought Luongo was a perfect choice to be the #1 on this team when Marty Brodeur wants to play how can you say no?

I like your viewpoint.

Well this year was an exception since all the "overpaid" players in question declined to play, and all the hype was about just that: the fact all the players were less insatiated and more eager to win. Not sure whom you're reffering to with "us", but let's face it, whatever Sportbladet writes is what 80% of the swedish population believes.

And if you're calling the whole canadian team crybabies because of a fight, you're blowing it out of proportion. This is hockey we're talking about.

Which was good, I have a memory like an elephant so I will always remember our overpaid primadonnas floptastic performance last time. And its probably true that the elite series players fight more, but this time they didnt fight hard enough, too bad!

And no, Sportbladet does NOT write what the general people think, they think they do but they dont.

I'm not. The cry babies are the dudes who started fighting. Take it like a man, leave the arena with your dignity intact and dont come off like a poor loser.

EDIT: Where are you from if I might ask? Land of the thousand lakes?

Well it's hard for me to substantiate my claim, but whenever you see a poll, Sweden winning gold is the most popular choice. The poll on tv3.se for instance.

And I'm saying getting annoyed and starting a fight during a hockey game doesn't necessarily make you a cry baby. It's quite common.

I'm swedish but I've always been a HUGE fan of Team Canada. The slant in swedish sports journalism against them drives me crazy, especially when it manages to indoctrinate my friends .

Sure, but not like that.

Trevligt.

I think sport journalism overall in Sweden sucks, so we can agree on that.
Gonatt.

Ryan Smyth chopping at the ankles of Jiri Fischer at the end of the game was my Gold Medal. One of the greatest things I have ever seen.

Someone make an animated gif of that.
