The Swedes have looked shaky and if there is any team that is poised to pull an upset it could be the team with a 6'9" Norris winner. Halak shows up and goes away, it can really depend on which act he intends to play today. Then again, any team with the Sedins should be pretty confident. Kronwall has been stellar.
Sweden has faced all the wrong kinds of adversity so far, so I think they really need a solid game tonight to have any chance of beating Canada. If the Slovaks pull off the upset then the regular underdog status applies.
I predict 3-1 Sweden.
