"Pavol Demitra called it the biggest win in Slovakia's ice hockey history and it's hard to disagree with him.

Hours after Canada steamrolled the Russians here at Canada Hockey Place to earn a berth in the semifinals, Slovakia stunned Sweden, 4-3, winning the right to try to take down the big bad Canadians on Friday night at 9:30 p.m. ET.

No matter the outcome, the Slovaks have already had their best Olympics ever. Their previous best was four years ago in Torino when they finished fifth after coming in 13th at Salt Lake in 2002.

"We've got nothing to lose," Tomas Kopecky, who scored the winning goal with 10:59 left in the third period, told NHL.com. "They are the favorites. We're just going to play a solid hockey game and that's how we're going to win.""
