That's all from the first semifinal, but there's one more today and it promises to be a beauty. Switzerland vs USA. The Swiss haven't won a medal at this tournament since 1953 and nothing higher than a bronze since 1935 (silver). The USA, meanwhile, hasn't won better than a bronze since 1960 (gold). One team will break a lengthy drought with a win.
You can follow that game, as well as both games tomorrow, here at EuroLiveScores.com. (17:20:57)
I don't know how you pass up Henrik Sedin for that, but one hell of a game for Eriksson as well, with 3 points as well.
Finland goes to the bronze medal game tomorrow, while Sweden will play in the championship game at home later.
HENRIK SEDIN hits the empty net from the neutral zone. What a game for the Vancouver Canucks captain--MVP of this game for sure. Assist: Loui Eriksson, Henrik Tallinder.
