TORONTO -- Daniel Sedin knows the World Cup of Hockey may be his final chance to represent Sweden at a best-on-best tournament along with twin brother Henrik.With that in mind, theres no shortage of motivation for the 35-year-old Vancouver Canucks forwards heading into Sundays semifinal meeting with Team Europe.We realize as we get older theres not going to be a lot of these tournaments moving forward, Daniel Sedin said. We dont know about the (2018) Olympics yet, but were enjoying this. Were having a lot of fun and getting a chance to play in the semifinals, it was tough getting here.Were enjoying every day and well have some fun on Sunday.The last time Sweden won gold at a best-on-best tournament was the 2006 Olympics in Turin. Sweden lost to Canada in the gold medal game at the 2014 Sochi Games.Sweden won its round-robin opener at the World Cup 2-1 against Russia on Sunday and blanked Finland 2-0 on Wednesday before falling 4-3 in overtime to Team North America on Wednesday.The Swedes are hoping to learn from their loss against the Under-23 team moving forward. They were thoroughly outplayed early, quickly going down 2-0 before rallying to force overtime.I think we can definitely learn (about) being ready when the puck drops, those first 10 minutes were pretty embarrassing from our part, said defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson. The Europeans have some speed in their lineup as well so we have to be ready when the puck drops. We werent ready for Team North America, but somehow we managed to a big comeback there.After losing the first two pre-tournament games by a combined 11-4 score to the North Americans, Team Europe bounced back to defeat Sweden 6-2 in its final tune up game.They surprised us a little bit in the exhibition game, but they wont surprise us on Sunday, Sedin said. They wait for you to make mistakes, and then they create offence from that. Weve got to be careful on Sunday. We cant just go on offence like we did in that pre-tournament game.I think our defense was jumping a little bit too much and got too involved in the offense. I think we have to respect their forwards.Team Europe, made up of players from eight different countries, stunned the Americans 3-0 in the tournament opener and defeated the Czechs 3-2 in overtime before falling 4-1 to the Canadians on Wednesday.European captain Anze Kopitar pointed to the second period of the pre-tournament game against Team North America in Montreal as the turning point for the team of players unfamiliar with playing with one another.I think the first period in Montreal really opened our eyes and we really showed ourselves how we dont want to play, Kopitar said of the second pre-tournament game. After that, we kind of realized how we have to play: smart (and) with a lot of patience, theres no flash to it. Were playing a boring style of hockey, but its turned out to be a pretty successful one so were obviously proud in doing that and were going to continue doing that.The winner of Saturdays Canada-Russia semifinal will play the winner of Sweden-Europe in a best-of-three final beginning on Tuesday.Hydro Flask Black Friday Sale .
