Was Backlund injured in the first period?

If so, To what extent?

Just benched afaik, or simply put as 13th forward which means a little PK time at best. Krüger was the 13th forward in the first game.

How was Silfverberg in the two games?

Silfverberg did some shorter stints in the lower lines and looks good. Showed a lot of energy and worked hard, reminded me as a Red Wing fan a bit of Justin Abdelkader. Energy, hard work and heart. Good stuff.

I love hockey and am a nationalist who always root for Sweden...but in this tourny I find myself almost not caring due to the joke of a team that we have assembled.

OEL is half the player he was before he left Sweden.

Couldn't agree more. It's shameful and painful to watch Sweden play as a big fan of hockey..

On the other hand, it's moments like this I really appreciate being a multi-national. Let's go USA!
