If the Swiss lose this game, there is definitely going to be a feeling that they let this game slip away with the amount of PP opportunities they have had.
Not really. It'd still be a miracle even if penalties are 10-0. But Sweden's doing their best trying to lose.

Swedes just look unorganized and apathetic, and taking foolish penalties. I missed most of the first, but they've had precisely one sequence of sustained zone time since I've been watching.

I respect your views on the Swiss Teams.

Do you think the Commitment to Team Defence has stifled the creativity & healthy selfishness required to develop snipers?

Yes, coaches U17 and up are usually more concerned in winning a title in our junior league than in developing their players. So they force them to play in defensive systems rather than let them develop their creativity. Besides that we also just plain lack good enough junior coaches in general, especially when it commes to shooting technique.

Shot off the crossbar for the Swiss and minutes later a bouncing puck gets smacked in for the Swedes.

1-0 Tre Kronor
