Yeah, I'm not sure what he meant there. All I saw was poor excuses and empty threats, but it's probably because of my poor grasp of English.

Entertaining game though!

Canada - not sure what this team is supposed to be? No skaters, no passers, no size. The PP is ridiculously bad, just shot the fracking puck, both goalies are giving up huge rebounds. Jake - not impressed at all with him Yeah, I see what you mean... Maybe Sweden should expect Finland in the semi fi...

Shit! No shutout this game.

Anyway, Nylander not playing, but two points so far in this game for his baby brother.

If NHL teams released all their eligible players then this whole fucking tournament would be meaningless. Canada would go undefeated 30 years in a row. But feel free to get all gloaty over a couple preliminary games Per. Canada brought their B-team this year like usual, and will still kick your fru...

Sweden beat Denmark 5-0, the second shutout in three games, and secured first place in the group. Meanwhile, the US crushed Switzerland 10-1, and now have a lock on second place, assuming they beat Denmark. Looks like Canada will come in third, unless of course the Danes beat the USA in regulation w...

Ouch that's gonna leave a mark. Hansen will be an uglier man after that . Gotta love the balls crashing the net like that He bleeds like a Swede! Yep but he's got more balls than all 3 swedes on the Nucks.. So Hansen has 7 balls? :shock: Must be walking like John Wayne... :? Does he have any brothe...

So, Sweden and Canada have both played the Swiss and the US. How did they fare? Vs Switzerland: Sweden routed the Swiss bastards (who were seriously into head hunting, with three checks to the head, albeit only two resulted in game penalties) and beat them comfortably 8-3. Three points for Sweden. C...

Egli got a three game suspension for his hit on Nylander and will miss all remaining groupplay games: ”The hit in question occurred near centre ice with just over five minutes remaining in the first period. Nylander had just gained possession of the puck and was turning to move up the ice when Egli ...

Gillis six 2nd round draft picks. Traded 3 of them away and drafted Rodin, Sauve and Mallet. If he's so angry at Benning for giving up a 2nd for Vey I can't for the life of me figure out why he never moaned about Gillis work with 2nd round picks Rödin is leading the SHL this season in points (32 in...

Really weird dress rehearsal between Canada and Sweden. :| First period: 1-1 Both teams try to get a feel of the other team. Canada (virtanen) of course runs Sweden's goalie. Par for the course. Second Period: 4-0 Sweden does stupid mistakes and Canada capitalises. Canada very dominant. Almost embar...

Per, the way I read the Swedish history books over here tells me different. But the way I read the newspaper tells me it's time for you to start saying "Happy Eid". Eid al fitr (sp?) is cool; suddenly all the stores are carrying baklava! :D I have no idea what it's all about, but you gotta love the...

So I sound like a mongtard from Bountiful Bingo! Hey its Christmas, pace on earth, good will to all, stuff like that....... By the way I will say Christmas, not Happy Holidays. In Sweden we're more traditional; we still say God Jul (ie Good Yule) like we've done since way before some imported Middl...

Sure, it's shitty to bring something up years later. I totally agree with that.
And it's hard to understand the media interest. Trash talk is common.

But it still has nothing to do with free speech.

I want to do to some of you what your dads did to you.

You're going to give me an allowance?

Not really necessary, but thanks for the offer!

Burrows trash talking or the NHL's right to police on ice behaviour have nothing to do with freedom of speech. The team's right, or employer's right to police "on duty" behaviour has nothing to do with freedom of speech. Burrow's trash talking is a freedom of expression. Whomever/whatever attempts ...
