Whoops - I think I drastically overestimated the Swedes and understimated the Russkies.

I think Sweden is a better offensive and defensive team than the Russians. They're really in trouble. I think it's remarkable how even in just the past four years the whole table has tightened up. It may just be a case of good goalies (Irbe, Aebischer) stealing games for the minnows, but someone has to score the goals, and 60 minutes is a long time.

Holy crap, Suisse brings down the Czechs and Canada, and with different goalies. Giant-killers anyone?
