Only saw the third period. Sweden gave Slovakia a chance and we took it. Not a bad result despite the loss, though I understand that Urban kept us in in the first 2.
 
Congrats to Sweden. A well deserved win. Our boys had a strong third period and gave us hope that we could steal a point.
 
Wikman injured?
Probably yes, the Slovak player gave him a nice hit and he fell badly, I think his leg turned and he had a lot of trouble reaching the substitution. Hopefully it's just an ankle, I think he withdrew from the match.

Not good, might be out for the tournament I guess
 
An excellent two thirds, only poor shooting efficiency gave Slovakia hope of getting a hugely valuable point for them. However, Slovakia played very poorly for two thirds, only Urban held out hope for an acceptable result. As effective as Sweden was with 24 shots on goal and eight goals in the Canadian net, today they fired 53 shots and Urban got just four goals. The score before the start of the third period should have been 2-6 and not 1-3. Slovakia didn't deserve anything at all, so I'm glad that Wahlberg scored the win for Sweden and the players can be calm and in an excellent position before Sunday's match.

Let's go!!! Slovakia scores to make it 3 - 3 in the 3rd! Beautiful offense by Slovakia in the 3rd.
You guys look good... Keep it going! When does your big star come back? I think a good player is missing?
