Who would you take out for him? Who should get demoted/less icetime? We're talking about a well balanced team here. He would help for sure but he'd hardly be a gamechanger after a tough NHL season. He looked tired against Tampa.

Well balanced teams don't barely survive. Well balanced teams don't get outshot 20-1 in the 3rd period of a game to send them on.

Well balanced teams don't have their #1 defenseman at nearly 20 minutes after 2 periods.
 
Nilsson is a weird guy. He had a terrible game against Latvia, yesterday against USA he was insanely good and today he just looks uncomfortable.

Defense is bad. I never said anything else. But the forward group is great. Surely. Having Baertschi, Suter or Hischier would help but I like what I see. They all have NHL quality except Rod and Baltisberger. If they struggle it's because the Swiss have clowns instead of coaches.

Which ones and when exactly? They had the puck a lot but did zero with it. Very boring. The only exciting action are the Swiss breakaways.

Breakaways and counter-attack is the most common tactics vs Sweden which is increadibly boring if you ask me. This is the main reason I prefer watching Sweden play Canada, Finland and USA. Switzerland has proved me wrong this year thogh, a really good team and fun watching.
 
Switzerland standing around. They're gassed. They needed a 24 hour intermission lol

I also prefer playing Canada, USA, Finnland or Russia because they're actually creating chances instead of just holding the puck and waiting for mistakes like the Swedes. It's just tiring to watch. Sometimes nothing happening for minutes. I almost fell asleep several times already.

What's fun? What exactly? Sweden passing the puck backwards or shooting pucks wide/high? Nyquist scored a nice goal out of nowhere and the Swiss had some nice breakaways. Other than that? Nothing happening.

Puck possession, some love it, some hate it.

I fear the Swiss will be so tired in the last periode, you could just have well have dressed up "my Norway" in their uniforms, and no-one would have noticed the difference. Sweden will rule third periode. But it was a good game, Swiss. Good try.

Do we agree Switzerland is a top-six nation now, instead of -perhaps- Czech republic?

Not sure.

Wc:s are never best on best.
 
Fellow Swedes, can we all make a pact, that if we lose: no one uses us not having our best players as an excuse?
