Anyone know why Lehtonen is in net for Finland instead of Rask?
Posted by NHLJeff from Denver on 02/21/14 at 08:03 AM ET
I just saw by scrolling down KK. That’s too bad that Rask is sick. I think it significantly hurts Finland’s chances, but we’ll see.

Nice dive salami.

Do Olczyk & McGuire get paid by the word, because they NEVER shut up!
Those two making it impossible to enjoy this game.

You ever notice how Olczyk sounds like he’s erect every time he talks about a Blackhawk player?

Refs are 1 from US another is Russian

I’m watching the game on German TV. I don’t speak German well enough to follow what they’re saying, but they’re better than the NBC gasbags. The BBC commentators are decent, too, when the BBC can be arsed to televise the game.

George0211 But if you mixed them together it will be a Canadian 
It must be the Russian who hates the Swedes ?

LOL. I don’t know about that.

Varldens basta Karlsson !!!! nice shoot !!!
Posted by Gary A$$ SUCK !! from Fort Myers, Florida on 02/21/14 at 09:27 AM ET
I want Erik Karlsson in a Red Wings jersey so bad.
Posted by TreKronor on 02/21/14 at 08:29 AM ET
Have to wait a few years. 
Posted by George0211 on 02/21/14 at 09:31 AM ET
Have to wait a few years.
I see it like this: Karlsson and Alfie are buddies. Karlsson’s contract goes through 2019. If we can get Alfie to sign through 2021 or so, Karlsson would have no choice but to come to Detroit to play with Alfie. Alfie would be 49 in 2021, and based on the way he is playing he could keep it up.
It’s only logical.
Okay…coming back to reality now….

I’m pretty sure Alfredsson is lobbying for EK to Red Wings..
Posted by Gary A$$ SUCK !! from Fort Myers, Florida on 02/21/14 at 09:56 AM ET
Are we going to see a new 5 on 3 soon ???

Posted by Gary Bettman SUCK from Fort Myers, Florida on 02/21/14 at 08:56 AM ET
Are you serious? Like, Alfredsson is saying: “When your contract is up in 5 years and I’m 3 or 4 years into retirement, come play for the Red Wings?!!?!?!”
Please tell me you’re kidding.
Posted by VitoLambruski on 02/21/14 at 10:08 AM ET
Let’s just continue this: The USA is about to beat Canada 3-1.

VitoLambruski…okay to make you happy..I’m kidding.
Posted by Gary A$$ SUCK !! from Fort Myers, Florida on 02/21/14 at 10:16 AM ET
YIHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Please USA Win over Canada..I want to see my 2 teams play for the final SWE vs USA
Posted by Gary A$$ SUCK !! from Fort Myers, Florida on 02/21/14 at 10:18 AM ET
Good job Sweden. Now Go USA.
Posted by WingsFanInBeanLand from where free agents no longer dare. on 02/21/14 at 10:18 AM ET
NBC.com headline “How Swede It Is!” in 3… 2… 1…
Posted by harken23 on 02/21/14 at 09:17 AM ET
I’m sure NHL.com beat them to it
Posted by Red Winger from Sault Ste Marie, MI on 02/21/14 at 10:21 AM ET
Open post for Canada/USA will be up at 11:30am.
Posted by Paul from Motown Area on 02/21/14 at 10:27 AM ET
Solid win and a fun game to watch, I thought.
Marts played Kronwall and Big-E the most of any of their players, so they’ll need to rest up and get ready for a big game Sunday!
Posted by TreKronor on 02/21/14 at 10:28 AM ET
NHL.com immediately did post “How Swede it Is”. ESPN switched it up and said, “Swede Stuff”.
Posted by TreKronor on 02/21/14 at 10:31 AM ET
Gotta feel for Z not being able to be a part of this…...
