It should be noted that Forsberg did not play, but expected to play against Finland wednesday. Other Swedish scratches were Tärnström (ill and with a sore knee) and Holmström. Ekman and Bäckman were dressed but did not as far as I could see play. Tellquist was easily man of the match.
It should also be noted that the game was played on a wide surface - the other games in Europe will however be played on NHL-sized rinks, and Sweden has practised on one.

okay. The Slovakian forwards had difficulties getting passed the Swedish defense tonight and were several times a bit frustrated (especially Demitra). Hossa had a couple of nice shifts though.
I also thought goalie Staña played well.
You can't tell much from this exhibition game though, a mediocre game with two teams that still have a long way to go before they reach good "game tempo".
Once when it was a 4-4, Hossa went by 3 Swedes and shot but Tellqvist saved. IMO Tellqvist saved Sweden from getting a goal cause some saves were great (Demitra in the 1st). He had a few lucky ones though (Bondra mid air shot while Tellqvist didnt know where the puck was and one Swedish D was lying on him).Predatore said:
The 3rd Swedish line was the best line. I agree with Stana. He played better than Lasak (or maybe because we played better in the later stages).
I agree with you on the third part too. Long way till we reach good tempo (or in our case, start shooting goals). we had our chances though.

Good clip. Thanks. Was it Satan who Ohlund hit? (I think thats what the announcer said)...
Anyone know where there might be more clips from this game?

Go Canucks Go.
Ohlund with a big hit, Henrik with an assist, Daniel and Naslund with goals. Ah, how it reminds me of the NHL season.

Apparently Forsberg wanted to play, but the coach did not want to take any risks, and scratched him. Probably the first time ever he has been scratched in the national team.
Here is a pic of the hit: http://www.mtv3.fi/urheilu/hockeynight/
