All I want is Sweden to lose because their coach even admitted that he wanted his team to throw their last game so that they would face Switzerland instead of Russia. Even though it would be an easier game, you don't admit that you are doing that, you keep it private. Coming out publicly and admitting that your team is not good enough to beat Russia is an insult to every player on team Sweden, not professional at all.

Gold- Finland
Finland is like Voltron, the players by themselves aren't that scary but when you put them together as a team, the are incredibly powerful. The play the better as a team than any of the other olympic hockey teams. If Finland keeps up their style of play, they will win. They play the neutral zone trap and its been working amazing, they do next to no fore checking and the other teams have found it difficult to play against them. Selanne, Koivu, Jokinnen, the Sedin brothers, Sundin, Alfredsson, Forsberg have all been playing well.
