Yes, Dower Nilsson Is injured. And four defenders are injured or sick. Only four defenders left for the semifinals unless someone comes back…

ufff..and btw I agree with your statement earlier in the thread I think we're a top team heading in to the U18-WC with a complete roster.

First game I’ve gone to so this is my first time seeing him but he plays with a lot of confidence. Trying to do too much on his own and it’s becoming more noticeable as the east grows their lead. He seems to be getting pretty frustrated out there.

He literally came out of the box and proceeded to shoot the puck out again from the same spot on the very next play. He also had an interference call in the first and the USA looked really good on the pp. Sweden were lucky it was only 1-0 after 1. I was shocked to then see them go up 3-1.
USA was the better team so a well deserved win. But Sweden fought well. Sweden could barely muster five D, and penalties killed us.

Sweden got back a defenseman, but lost a forward in Nordh. So running 11F6D while Canada West has 13F7D.

2-1 Sweden now. 2 powerplay goals for them.
Kostadinski looks like a completely different player today. He must be on a very short leash. He’s getting pushed around by guys half his size and not fighting back at all.

Didn't catch much of the tournament but what type of roster did Sweden send? I assume most of the top junior age players are playing in the SHL or Allsvenskan. That is not the case with most American players; or for that matter the Canadian kids (though they have multiple teams).

Don't listen to him, he rage quit the boards after Sweden lost against the US in the WJC pre-tournament.
Sweden sent their U18 team. However the top dmen in ASP + Lindstein had to be replaced, & Dower Nilsson was unable to play in a single game. Stenberg, & Nordh both missed 1-2 games. Defensemen injury woes(had to play on 4 dmen during one game because of it).
Even so, the only games Sweden lost were to the US who ended up winning everything, and their first game against Latvia(an OT loss, Latvia sent their U18 team too, so, good for them).
