Sweden does decently too, IIRC. Weren't they the ones that the US beat in the finals in the 1980s Olympics (the famed US-USSR match was the semifinals)?
you know, this championship we only lost one match. and that was the final. among others, we beat usa twice, the czech, the finns and the russians. we lost the final because of lack of concentration and crappy play in own zone. nice of forsberg and lidström to join the team, tho.
of course, we've never won the world championship ever when we've met canada in the final (in the olympics on the other hand...). which has happened five times. last years defeat was worse than this years, tho. well well... next year we'll definitely win.
