Sad how the Sedins shrink under the pressure and physicality of the Stanley Cup playoffs but playing for Sweden they are fine. I'm a Buffalo Sabres fan so I was very happy to see Jhonas Enroth named the best goaltender in the tournament.
What amazed me is the Swiss, they were 9-0 going into the gold medal game - when and how did they get this good?
A ton of great players in this year's tournament, Canada did have a strong roster and the Russians even had Ovechkin. The US thumped the Russians 8-3, their worst defeat at a world championship.
It's going to be a fantastic Olympic tournament in Sochi this winter. Canada, Russia, US and Sweden - I'd rank their chances all equal for the gold medal. I'd pick the US, Jonathan Quick might be the best goaltender in the world right now.
