Unlucky for Sweden that their two toughest group games are the back-to-back games. It'll be a tough ask to beat a rested USA team.

 

[ZEBROA]

I will be realy surprised If Sweden win this. 4-2 loss or more. For Sweden to win D must be better and Rayholtz need to get going.

 

[AppalachianFinn13]

3-2 USA

 

[ViD]

USA will end Sweden’s regulation win streak

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

USA will end Sweden’s regulation win streak

Didn't their streak just get ended by Russia?

 

[NyQuil]

Didn't their streak just get ended by Russia?

Regulation streak still going apparently although no one cares.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

lets gooo

Regulation streak still going apparently although no one cares.

Oh. Well, if Sweden plays with the lack of intensity they had last night then this is USA's game to lose.

They (Sweden) lost the game last night in the first 20 minutes by allowing themselves to get behind. They were outcoached by Larionov, and the leaders on Sweden like Broberg, Soderstrom and Raymond did not play like leaders. They need to step it up a notch.

That said, I think this one is another close one. I like Sweden's D better when they show some damn hustle, and I like Sweden's wingers more when Raymond is the one dominating offensive possession instead of Holtz. 5-4 Sweden.

 

[bsu]

This gonna be good

 

[Kalv]

No excuses for team USA, I think they should take this one with at least 3 goal margin today

 

[SanDogBrewin]

US in the drivers seat. They are the rested team. Take the group.

 

[Eye of Ra]

becuse of the fact that sweden is tired , yes. otherwise, no. usa lost 5-3 to russia and got dominated. sweden gave russia a lot better fight.

I wouldn't say that... Spencer Knight gifted them 3 goals.

Sweden losing streak starts tonight.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Who is playing goal for the USA?

Czech played back-to-back vs Sweden and Russia...

It's not as cool when you need a qualifier for the streak. They had an incredible run that will never be matched, let's enjoy that and not grasp as irrelevant straws, it waters down what was accomplished.

 

[ORRFForever]

U.S. is rested and Sweden is feeling lousy.

My prediction (don't worry, other than last night, I'm always wrong)...

U.S. jumps out to a lead (4-1 ish) and holds on for the win.

Sweden plays Finland in the quarters and gets bounced.

 

[Tomas W]

Since nobody believes in Sweden, I will and say that Sweden win in OT.

 

[jaloviina]

My prediction Swe 4-2

 

[jj cale]

I'll take the u.s in this one 4-2

 

[Kalv]

becuse of the fact that sweden is tired , yes. otherwise, no. usa lost 5-3 to russia and got dominated. sweden gave russia a lot better fight.

I meant it largely due to the tiredness of Sweden, yes and them lacking part of their roster.

 

[IceBjoern]

Broberg will probably sit this game if he’s hurt in any way. Uphill battle for team Sweden but they usually fight til’ the bitter end.

If they can weather the storm that will no doubt be coming their way in the first 10min, I like their chances.

Hoping for a good start to the new year, with great hockey, no matter the outcome.

 

[X66]

Sweden is going to get pumped this game.

Played a long and tough game last night, and that Broberg injury isn't going to help.

 

[NyQuil]

With the streak over, that pressure is off.

Still, I think the US will win 5-1.
