At 15.20, Swedish time, the puck is released in the World Cup quarter-finals and then it is win or lose that counts.
Only four players were present at today's voluntary morning warm-up: Adam Larsson, Mathias Bromé, Marcus Högberg and Jonathan Pudas.
Back star Rasmus Dahlin was one of the players who met the media and described what feelings he woke up with on this important day.
- I'm damn expectant and incredibly tagged.
This is going to be extremely fun.
Canada will come out rock hard and tackle a lot.
They probably do not want to miss a single forecheck so it will be important for us to do the right things out there, says Dahlin, Sweden's king of points in the World Cup with seven points in as many matches.
All healthy and available
Federal captain Johan Garpenlöv announces that all players are healthy and available and that team captain Oliver Ekman-Larsson plays without restrictions after his injury absence.
However, he does not want to reveal who is guarding the cash register.
- The goalkeeper that we think is best at the moment will stand, says "Garpen".
Kellman: "Perhaps the greatest in his career"
Forward Joel Kellman is also tagged in front of today's thriller.
- I have a good feeling.
This is where the tournament begins and playoff games are always fun.
It will be a tough match with a lot of intensity and will out there.
We know that Canada has a skilled team and will play tough.
It is important that we are ready from the start.
How high do you rank this match in your career?
- It is big of course, it is a World Cup quarter-final.
Perhaps the biggest match of my career.
It's going to be great fun.
I hope for many Swedish fans who can give an extra spice.
Describe the mood in the group today.
- You can feel the atmosphere.
It's extra focused and you go into your bubble a little grand, but that's the way it should be.
