Particularly those who realize that Heiskanen, right now, is a much better D compared to Dahlin. For one, he is still playing in this tournament. 😉

(How much is quite difficult to estimate, I agree so far. What happens in the future nobody knows.)

If you hate creativity, goals, passing, winning physical duels and defending the cycle then maybe.

There is a good chance Sweden beats Canada if Dahlin doesn't take that penalty that led to the 3-2 goal.
... or Sweden scored in just one of those PP:s against USA and Canada. Lots of what if scenarios.

Easy to find scape goats among the players. Ignores the giant elephant coaching issue though.

Thing is, people on social media is real people, its what people in general think. they get many likes so people agrees with them. if i say sweden is top 6 everyone will piss themself laughing. its only here on hfboards among some users who think sweden is powerhouse. its group pressure, swedes here forced everyone to agree with them, i think it was becuse of that systemfel guy who was a swedish moderaters here years ago.

Ask husqvarna and the jam if they think sweden is top 10, they will say no...

but yeah i gotta say its not only finns,,,,,,

czechs, slovaks, russians etc thinks Sweden always been bad at hockey aswell. We where not top 10 in the 90s either, they say...

That is definitely not what general people think. I believe you have never actually talked with this pepple, you just look for a trolling posts to validate your argjment which is silly and wrong. Sweden is a hockey powerhouse. You ask anyone who knows what hockey is and you get a different response. No country thinks Sweden is not top 10 hockey country.

Sweden is a top 6 country and no one will actually laugh about that. You really take silly trolling comments to heart and its not doing good for you.

1. Canada
2 USA
3. Sweden (could be argued that Sweden is 2nd)
4/5. Russia or Finland
6. Czechia
7. Switzerland
8. Slovakia
9. Denmark
10. Latvia

Yeah 100+ comments from finns, russians, czechs how much sweden sucks and is not 10 after every game played on youtube, facebook, insta, twitter etc are all trolling rights? No its regular people giving their opinions. I dont see anybody makes such comments at Germany, Slovakia, Switzerland, Czechia. You just have to accept that this is what people think. So do i. We are living in democracy, the vast majority have said what they think. End of discsussion.

It is not how people think though. You ask anyone and they tell you how good Sweden is. It is not a general opinion. You won't find one Finn in Finland who thinks that way. You can say a lot of bs when you write anonymous on the internet. I never see any of these comments anywhere. You are making it up unless you have an actual prove it happens. Because its totally false and I can't believe you believe it.

In my opinion only thing what's clear is Canada #1

Then it depends on how you rank. Do you rank based on the amount of NHL players? Or do you rank based on the amount of NHL scorers?

1.Canada
2.USA
3.Sweden
4.Finland/Russia

You rank based on success and medals (juniors included)

1.Canada
2.Finland
3.Russia
4.Sweden/USA

Depends on how far back you go, when you base it on success at recent tournaments. Since 2017, I would say Sweden are 2nd. Since 2019, Finland. Russia are absolutely not third though. They are fifth. Russia have not won the worlds or world juniors in a while.

Well Sweden is a good mid-level hockey nation among Norway, Kazakstan, North-Korea etc. (according to Mr. Eye of Mordor).

Just kidding of course. Sweden will be back next year and be among the top teams.
