Good game Slovakia. We were at many phases of the game better than Sweden, which was not expected. It's a bit painful to loose this close when Sweden was beatable, but I take it. I was very happy with our team this tournament, lot's of good prospects and a well organized game plan all games apart from the one against Canada.

Best players of Slovakia for me: Bucek, Bodak, Ivan, Durny
 
We pulled the goalie with like 3 minutes left.. what was Slovakia doing tho? Great game from them anyway.. they really deserved to tie this.

No offence but it’s been quite a while since Slovakia was a great hockey nation. Their good players all got old and retired and they haven’t been producing much in the way of good prospects.

No offence, last medal from U20 in 2015. Sweden in 2014? Just different perception of being great.
 
Man, that was an ugly third for the Swedes, they looked so nervous. Good game by the Slovaks though, no lack of effort there.

No offens taken im not slovakian... but thats true what you saying still its a good hockey country with traditions.
 
The goalie for slovakia really made a HUGE mistake.

Sweden was in the middle of a line change and had a miss-mash of players with 4 forwards on the ice.

He left the crease and negated the icing with 45 seconds left.
They could have had their top line on, with the goalie pulled and a face-off in the offensive zone.
 
f***ing Awful game by Sweden. With this amount of talent you have to be stronger.
 
Great game from Slovakia. As I thought, took Sweden to the wire. One of the best junior games I've seen in a long time.

Both middle fingers up to the Slovak coach. A genius idea to bench your best player for half the game, real genius.
 
Slovak coach Benched 2 key players for Slovakia (Ruzicka, Liska) during second period for the rest of the game

Played 4th line grinders minute before the end

Make your own opinion.
 
So impressed by the Slovaks. Worked their hearts out all game. They looked like they were having fun. Their effort deserved a better ending.

On Sweden's part I was really impressed by the effort of Zetterlund, Söderlund, Lundeström, Steen and at points, Liljegren. Don't have a good feeling about the semis. I think we're going home.
 
Honestly it would've been better if they had lost atleast then Montén would probably be out of there.

My opinion: he's an idiot.
 
Well, winning against Slovakia with 6-0 and 8-3 in previous quarters hasn't done any good, so let's see if this will be different.
