Not that it was bad but the completely mindless puck chasing into the corner sorta creates it.
Losing the game in special teams so far.
As mentioned a lot Lang, Åman, Friberg best forwards so far. Petersson looking good too.
Need to improve passing speed side-to-side in PP to win this, can't build/slow it down from the point.

Dahlin almost created two goals by slowing it down on the PP forwards let him down.

No arguments there, still good work to get rid of the puck right when the defenders come to get it
A nice power play of the Americans, they combined it well and Ullmark didn't stand a chance, Schmidt shot the puck too high. Maybe Garpenlöv will finally see that playing Nordström doesn't make sense. I wouldn't even say that his game brings any benefit, I have such a feeling that their attack defends more time today than it attacks. And there must be a warning in the playoffs that Garpenlöv cannot ignore. Even Wallmark is not so visible today.
"Almost", nice passing for sure, but Goalie and D well positioned. Easy to be when pace is slow, so looked fancy but not really dangerous IMHO.
D was sleeping good goaltending for sure but that’s all on the forward, because the chance was there.

Unfortunately, the OEL misjudged the situation at Schmidt's goal. He wanted to pick up the puck behind the goal, but the Americans turned the game around. Then he didn't have time to step forward and block Schmidt's pass. It happens, it was 50 to 50, if the American passed the puck for the goal where the OEL was, he would pick up the puck and allow the players to go to the substitute.

Establishing some pressure in the US zone seems to be impossible right now. The Swedish forwards constantly lose the puck.

Yes! Finally 2-2, that was so important. Also, it seems the refs have swallowed the whistles, that cross check was pretty brutal, no call. I guess you only get that call if you're Finland.
Tömmernes made a terrible mistake for the Americans donating the puck and Bellows fortunately did not score a 3-1. That would be after the match. But the American broke the stick, played badly, and Grundström punished. Good luck for Sweden.

I wonder why the referee keeps the Americans still in the game? Three fouls are nothing and the fourth can no longer ignore. Sweden is now at a good pace, increasing its activity and deservingly leveling the situation.

We're not Finnish enough, Finland would've had 3 more PPs by now. But it doesn't matter much when our PP is dogshit.
I usually never complain about the reffing anymore but COME ON.
EDIT: they finally called a penalty for the U.S

I think he's out there to kill the penalty for the US. At least it looks like it. Bemström played really bad as well, he can't hold the puck and he can't make a tape pass. What is he on the PP for then?
