We tried to leave the guards out there, but unfortunately, Sweden didn't make an error in the last end.

Many men no longer want to be identified just by their jobs," said Bengt Westerberg, the country's former deputy prime minister.

This is the greatest thing to happen to women's hockey in Sweden and everywhere around. We knew we were getting better and better all the time. We needed to beat the U.S. or Canada to show it.

We don't want to leave any margin for error at all. I don't think it's as risky a situation as it seems on paper.

You'd use recorded effects and then they'd have to come off discs. So we tried to make our own, and we used to have all sorts of things. We used to have roller skates for making train noises over rails and I remember once trying to effect the noise of someone's head being chopped off. I used a cabbage for that, it was very effective.

When we were in Sweden, there was a fan that hid in a bin. I think one of the security guards saw and tried to take her out, and she went a bit crazy and started tackling them.
