Only Canada could still fight for gold with their top 4 D(Okay, Wikstrand was probably our 4th D) and best forward out.

Bronze at best for us this year.

Roger Rönnberg: "Rasmus är tillbaka på hotellet och det vi fått från läkarna nu är att han är dag för dag, så vi får se imorrn"

Google translate: Rasmus is back at the hotel and that we have received from the doctors now is that he is day to day, so we'll see tomorrow

No Zibanajed? Shame on the Senators. The best available U-20 talent should be there. I don't buy that "he's too good for this tournament because he scored the game winner last year". Big game situations are a good way to test a player's mental fortitude.

Lots of speculation that he was hiding lingering post-concussion symptioms from one he got last year.

At least we've got depth these days. Only Bengtsson isn't playing pro hockey. The other guys have faced better or as good opponents as they'll face in this tournament. Nonames doesn't mean they're bad, just that they lack high-end skills.

Brodin,klefbom and Lindholm hadnt hurt the team!:amazed: + mika zinebejad. That is the difference between gold and bronze!

The forwards are finishing their checks.. the D are pretty much all afraid of getting their nose dirty. Did not like what I saw today, they let the swiss players just walk right on several occasions

My only question so far is, where is the famous chemistry between Molin and Lindholm?

Are they saving it for later like a secret weapon? or was it all just a myth?

The result was mostly because of the Swiss playing really well but we can play a lot better than this. I would like to see some changes to the lineup. Forsberg and Rakell should not play on the same line, we don't need a skill contest between the two for 20 minutes of the game. Karlsson disappears on that line, he is the guy who should have the puck. Also, our best playmaker should not be the screen on the PP.

Has to be the most overrated chemistry on the team if there ever was one. Molin played a better game than Lindholm today though. Lindholm stood out physically and on the backcheck but looked tired. Collberg is just not that great of a 5on5 player. Molin was carrying most of the pucks in the O-zone, that says a lot about how that line was.

I think Forsberg was the only one half-decent on the first line. In the first period he was pretty good, with two great chances on his own. But like the rest of the line faded away.

Görtz is playing for FBK tonight, weird to say the least..
