(Oh, and a bit of shameless self promotion: If you’re looking for a hockey forum, check out The Faceoff Boards, another site run by me
. Also, a wicked writeup by Steve Dangle, he’ll have an awesome video for you guys tommorow that I’ll edit into here)
Steve’s Video, as I said I’d have:
GAME SUMMARY
Karlsson gets the player of the game for the Swedes.
Dustin Tokarski, who was shaky the last few games, finally stepped up and got the player of the game, after stopping 39 out of 40 shots.
Coaches Choice for Swede’s Top 3: Markstrom (who gets heavily booed for his diving), Karlsson (who gets cheers yet again, as he’s a Senators Prospect), and Backlund (who’s rumored to be going to the CHL tomorrow instead of returning to Sweden).
Coaches Choice for Canada’s Top 3: PK Subban (Plenty of cheers, nearby Montreal Canadiens prospect), John Tavares (who’s quickly become a legend in Canada), and Jordan Eberle (who scored the biggest goal in Canadian History since Gretzky to Lemieux or Paul Henderson’s Goal).
Top Goaltender: Markstrom (Should’ve gone to Slovakia’s Jaroslav Janus)
Top Defenseman: Karlsson
Top Forward: John Tavares (the easiest decision since comparing Gretzky to Tie Domi)
Videos (TONS COMING!)
Lets start with the most controversial event so far tonight: A vicious bite by Jokarim Andersson on Tomas Hickey, which better get reviewed by the IIHF.
Now, PROOF that Markstrom is the worst diver I’ve EVER SEEN.
And the final moments and celebrations!

During the national anthem the Canadian player gets the words wrong. It’s “we see thee rise” dude says ride, or right. Check it out. If you’re gonna play for our national team…
Congratulations from Sweden. You guys deserved the win. Shamefull diving from makrstöm
[...] DRIVE FOR 5 COMPLETE! CANADA BEATS SWEDEN FOR GOLD 5-1! [...]
Hodgson was the best player for Canada. He had more points, played more minutes, killed penalties and showed epic leadership. Just ask PM and Bob Mackz
Wow, great article and a great site.
