I guess congratulations are in order to Sweden for winning the gold but I feel their medal is somewhat tainted.  Apparently they purposely lost their last game of the round-robin so that they would play Switzerland(a weaker team) in the quarter final and have a much better chance of advancing to the semi-final which they did with a 6-2 win.  Europeans, especially the Russians and Czechs, have been doing this for years in the world championships-taking it easy in the round-robin series hoping the other teams would take them lightly and then going all out for the 1 game playoff system.  That type of mentality would not work for them in a playoff system such as for the stanley cup.  It was great to see Koivu play well and hopefully he continue to contribute to the Habs starting Tuesday night.
