That’s an NHL shot!

 

[Cake Eater]

Thought someone got a touch on that but right now they are announcing it as Havelid's goal.

Never underestimate IIHF official stat trackers to be completely useless.

 

[Acetylene]

Filthy release.

They've corrected it finally.

Lekkermaki has been the best forward of the tournament

Östlund clear of Lekkerimäki

Östlund clear of Lekkerimäki

Östlund clear of Lekkerimäki

It has been close. They have played almost every minute of the tournament together. For me Ostlund's two way play puts him ahead at this point, but he is a center, so it is a more relevant part of his game. That said they have easily been Sweden's two best forwards and maybe the two best in the entire tournament (although several Americans have also been really good). I think Lekkerimaki has a higher ceiling but more bust potential that Ostlund.

Hopefully less sloppy play in the 2nd.

I'd argue that both players have played a good 2 way game although there is relevance to being a center over a winger.
IMO, both have equivalent bust potential. I don't see Ostlund having a particularly high floor as an undersized center

Montén's in the building. Swedish collapse incoming?

It’s happening hahahah

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Saw that one coming

Too much turnovers

 

[Jukurit]

Wow! Swiss dominating that shift!

 

[Hinterland]

Very nice effort by Reber. Liking Hornecker as well. Not because of the goal but he's been physical and made some nice plays as well. Should have made the initial roster.

 

[Slimmy]

Really fun game now

 

[Sliptip]

Not really the game I would have liked to see from Sweden so far.

 

[Pieck]

Lol no way

WTH. Ohgren has to bury that. Slightly quicker release and that's probably a goal

 

[Jukurit]

Not again Switzerland.

 

[Hinterland]

Lol. 2nd delay of game already. Talk about throwing a game away. Horrible.

 

[Speyer]

Well f*** me delay of game again

He’s cursed. Every year there’s one player who can’t bury… Last year it was Lysell
