The Canadians were in for a test against Sweden - how did it turn out?

Team Canada and Team Sweden met on Friday at the World Juniors Hockey Championship with top spot in their pool on the line along with a direct entry into the semifinals. With the loser having to play a quarterfinal match there was all to play for between the two clubs and they did not disappoint hockey fans.

In a highly entertaining and competitive game that featured several lead changes the Swedes took away the win and in doing so captured top spot in their pool. The final score in the game ended at 6-5 (SO) and Canada will now have to play on Sunday against Team Switzerland.

The coach of Sweden's Junior team, Roger Ronnberg, pointed out that the victory over Canada was just a battle - not a war: "It's really good to beat Canada but no one has won anything yet," he said. 

It's fair to say that the Swedes do have an advantage however as they avoid the quarterfinal round and will enter the semifinal better rested than their potentially battle-scarred opponent.

While Canada will be heavy favorites against the Swiss, they will still have to expend energy that the teams that received byes will not have to expend. There's always a slight chance of an upset occurring but the main risk for Canada has to do with suffering a random injury and accruing fatigue that was not necessary. 

That game, the Canadian vs Switzerland quarterfinal, will take place at 3pm ET on Sunday and look for television coverage with TSN.
