That's not really Swedens problem though? If you arent playing your best players you deal with the result.

I must admit that Anton Forsberg looked more solid between the pipes than Gustafsson, the latter hasn't really impressed at all so far, so I hope he will get to play some more.

Not to mention having Cajkovsky on the team doesn't help convince players not to run up the score.
eh, Anton Forsberg had nothing to do today. Cant evaluate his performance after the slovaks had like 10 shots on goal.
still has full faith in Gustafsson. Remeber that markstrom and lehner peaked in groupplay and didnt play their best when it mattered.
Gustafsson doing the opposite would be nice for a change.

If that was a guarantee it would sounds good. But he did look pretty bad against Switzerland and brutal against Latvia. While I have full respect for both teams.. you should beat them quite handily and not letting in that many goals against either.
to be fair, the defense were brutal in those games. Sweden has 4 more even lines compared to last couple of years, but the D is worse.
Slovakia showed whats happen when the priority are children of reach parents.... no talent, no idea, nothing. I am so sad from it
atleast your neighbor did upset USA.

Uh, those other guys are probably a bit more skilled, though, right? If you're gonna make it as a checker in the NHL, you better be around 200.

My favorite part of that video is the "We Will Rock You" playing in between goals, just to make sure they feel like complete crap for losing by 50 goals.
I wish I had moved to Bulgaria when i was 15 or so. I could have played on that team and been the superstar.
82-0, not 50-0.
Back on topic:
Really impressed by Thorell and Rakell this game. Thorell could be the best player for Sweden so far in the tournament. Did not expect that going in to the tournament. He's really exceeded all expectations, and that's what you want from the guys in a tournament like this, if only some other players could follow in his footstep this team could be really dangerous.

He certainly looked brutal against Latvia. Sure the defense played awful especially on the third(?) goal but it's not like the goals were impossible to save. He needs to step it up either way
