Sweden gets 2 in the 9th, Edin has made some amazing shots tonight.
Who have thunk it, Canada will probably lose twice today and fall from 1st to 4th while eliminating a bunch of teams in the process.

Re: The Jarome Iginla Switcheroo
Because Iginla picked his deal.
When you trade an expiring contract to only one team you can't expect much.
Feaster would take the Boston deal over this one but Iginla has the final say.
No-trade clauses really handcuff teams.
