4 Nations Face-Off will be ‘great tournament,’ Gainey says
Canada holds an 8-1 edge against Sweden in best-on-best play, its only loss a 4-2 round-robin defeat at the 1984 Canada Cup at Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver. Historically outscoring Sweden 37-20, Canada has twice won by shutout -- Rogie Vachon in 1976, and 4-0 in the 1991 Canada Cup, also at Maple Leaf Gardens, backstopped by Bill Ranford.
