Sweden Vs. Finland Live Stream: When And Where To Watch Men's Olympic Hockey Semifinal

With four teams remaining in the field, the 2014 men's hockey tournament at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia is set to finish in strong fashion. International powers in Sweden, Finland, Canada and the United States earned their place in the semifinals thanks to pristine play throughout the opening round and quarterfinals but now that Olympic medals are on the line, each club still standing will play with an extra sense of urgency. Despite the absence of home ice favorite Russia – who fell to Finland in the quarters – this year's semifinal slate is still chock full of phenomenal talent.

The first of two final four match-ups will feature No. 1 Sweden and No. 4 Finland, a contest that should not disappoint. Sweden disposed of Slovenia 5-0 in the previous round and now that they're set to face a talented Finnish club who took down Russia in their last contest, goalie Henrik Lundqvist hopes to keep his hot play alive a bit longer to help Sweden – the 2006 Olympic champions – return to the Gold medal game. “I learned so much over the years in New York,” Lundqvist said. “I changed my game a lot. That was my first year in the league, and I changed my game that year, being very aggressive to playing more deep in the net and crease.”

While Lundqvist prepares to lead Sweden in Friday's semi, Finland and star Teemu Selanne will look to carry over the tremendous momentum earned in a 3-1 quarterfinal win over Russia. Though Selanne is completely pleased to be in the late round, the six-time Olympian says he feels for the Russian Nationals, who had high hopes playing in front of the home crowd leading into the start of the Sochi Winter Games. "To be honest, I'm a little bit sad, also, for them,'' he said. "Obviously, they had a big dream to win the gold medal here, and then it doesn't work, so it's kind of disappointing in many ways, because that would be a great story. But again, it's proving to the hockey world that you never know.”

Selanne won't have too much time to reflect on the recent defeat of Russia since an even bigger effort will be needed to take down a loaded Swedish squad.
