Puck was loose the entire time and there was no kicking motion there. Goals like that need to count.
I can only see you as my nemesis. You considered the Globen crowd as great and considered the 2-0 as correct. We are in absolute opposites thus far, at least in this thread. ;)

edit: After 2 periods so far, it's a struggle to watch this Swedish team play this badly. It's the Czechs all the way so far. Like non-existant Swedish hockey after 40 minutes.
 
Swedes coming alive a bit... this doesn't look like the Sweden I'm used to watching beat us... maybe the Czech food?

We can beat you guys with different styles. Today we choose to let our worldclass goalie save our asses in two periods and then stepping up in the last period and steal the game ;) Haha, just kidding. But seriously i wouldn't be that disappointed with a loss here. More important to win next friday.

You might be kidding but that's exactly what I think will happen. I can see the point shots be shot and deflected by Swedes in front already. I've been watching the same losses for a decade now.

I am thrilled with how good the Czechs look though... good combinations and excellent skating. Been happy with a lot of guys. Our terrible D hasn't caved yet. Bartosak has looked good as well which is nice.

Please just roll 5 defensemen in the opener on Friday.
 
We need another quality forward. Landeskog would be ideal.
Adding what we actually have on paper would be an improvement. Nygård and Lander seem like the guys I would keep in this team, they're good enough.

Sweden hasn't solved the Czechs forward pressure all game long. That's on Grönberg, he must give directives to solve it.

Nygård and Lander have been good from what I've seen(haven't been able to watch today), with Nygård I feel he can become much better if he makes the NHL next season(which sounds plausible considering pretty much every NHL team wants to sign him).

Nygård seems good enough to become a NHL player. He should have good chances. Some NHL team should give a chance to Lander as well.

One period left for the Swedish team to solve this game.

Swedish commentators are very thankful the Czech team is going back into their turtle bubble. That suits Sweden. As expected, the Czech team couldn't keep this tempo for 60 minutes.
 
Bratt injured?
Let's hope not, he's an important core player.

The Czechs have played a great game. It was a long time ago since I watched the Swedish national team struggle this much to even get a scoring chance. Well deserved win. Why did you have to play like garbage against Finland?
 
Lander screwed up royally with that faceoff.
 
I dont know why Grönborg took out Lundqvist so early and used Pettersson as a D-man in that 6 against 5
 
Worst 6on5 play I have EVER seen.
 
Nope, this was not much too cheer for. The Czechs wanted this so much more. The crowd helped them a lot also. Hope for a better game tomorrow vs the Finns.

Haha, OEL throwing a party tonight!

Hope? If they play like this, we won't even reach the qualifying rounds. Luckily enough, we won't face the Czechs on cocaine every game.

But I'm not worried. It doesn't matter what these games end. It's what they can improve from them.
