I mean, cheering for Belarus is one thing... but this Slovak team is nothing to be nonchalant about.
Agreed. I'll add that for a lot of posters it seems like "anti-Sedin" bias becomes "anti-Sweden" bias. But let's be clear: we don't all hate the Sedins because we don't think they're good players. They are incredible players; that's why we don't like them.

With that said, they haven't been the factor in this game that I thought they'd be.
