Swedens play leave some things to disire, thats true, but the Swiss is not a bad team. Getting a win against them should always count as an acceptable performance.

fact is Suisse had not too many real scoring chances

This is how we win:

Put Landeskog with Nylander and Bäckström. Make sure our best offensive defensemen back them up.

Let NO ONE ELSE attack!

ALSO, the second period L-B-N can rest!

Conny Evenssonna skiten ur finnarna! Defense worse than the finns!

I'd like to see that as well.

Not sure why swedish experts are pushing for Canada as huge favorites on paper.
We have the best offensive player (Bäckström), better goaltending and considerably stronger defense. Canada has better scoring depth, sure, but in my eyes it's very close on paper.

If Grönborg puts Nylander in the center of an umbrella formation on the PP ever again, I'm going to book a last minute ticket and strangle him with my own hands.

Lindberg is perfectly fine with Bäckström and Nylander, I have no clue why some of you want to upgrade that formation. It's the second and third line that is the problem.

Their top forwards are on par with ours but their depth is way, way better. We have an advantage on D, but only if they play like they are capable of. Don't like comparing goalies, any goaltender on the better teams can steal games in this tournament.
