I'm going to start by warning everyone that it is tough to blog from Leksand, Sweden when the only internet spot in town is in the library and they enforce a ten minute rule.
Last night's quarterfinal between Sweden and the Czechs wasn't much of a game, but the atmosphere was great despite the building being only half full. The swedes brought out drums and cheerleaders for the match and by the time it was 4-1 the mood was pretty light.
Met some good Canadians up from a military base in Germany. Lots of Canadian jerseys, hats, shirts, etc. Canada-US semi-final is at 4. I'll try to write again after that.
BTW, Ejendals Arena is a great facility, if that doesn't come across on the broadcasts.
Peace from Sweden (where I really am this time).
