Oh Slovakia, you should feel lucky you don't have to play Sweden 1.3. This is without Forsberg, Arvidsson, Ekholm and probably Hörnqvist. That's left to the Russians. And this is not to brag, this is not to belittle, this is to cheer what a crazy team Sweden will have when all the players have assembled. They will fight for the medals.

All in all, Sweden 1.2 will probably crush Slovakia, but I hope they will put up a good fight.

 

[Jakk123]

Not much of a chance here, sadly.. let's at least not embarass ourselves totally.

 

[IceBjoern]

Will probably look a lot like the Czech game..

4-2 Sweden

 

[OregonCanuck]

I heard Ep was in the lineup​

[flemo]

I just hope better play and result than our two recent exhibition matches against Sweden

 

[Retroglyphs]

Slovakia 2 - Sweden 5

 

[theslatcher]

Hellberg will play for Sweden.

5-1 Sweden

 

[maximafinogenov7]

Slovaks has always some surprise in the pocket. They play much better with top teams like a Tre Kronor. For Slovakia is this match now or never, so I am expecting a tight match.

My prediction: 2-1 Slovakia

 

[Reds4Life]

5-0 Sweden.

 

[Tomas W]

Expecting a Sweden win here. 4 - 2

 

[OregonCanuck]

That rakel chance

 

[EK47]

That shift was all Pettersson they need to put that in.

 

[OregonCanuck]

Klingberg!

 

[PuckMunchkin]

That shift was all Pettersson they need to put that in.

Good defensive play by the Slovak defender to intercept the play.

 

[EK47]

Pääjärvi and Everberg have done well.

 

[EK47]

Nice kick pass by Backlund.

 

[DieTomi]

Sweden’s 2nd unit PP has looked stronger all tourney and Janmark looks completely out of place on the 1st unit.

 

[EK47]

Can’t get stuck in your own zone like that. Stupid

 

[Keyal]

Everberg should have been in the shower already

 

[DDRhockey]

Pettersson is masterful on the PP. Had the 3rd assist

 

[EK47]

Pettersson looks really good when Sweden gain the zone.

 

[PTmbp13]

Sweden vs dive nation well, it their chance. Better game than the other i saw with swedes, this is more of an game not just a training or chill out zone, this can be pretty close. But please stop diving Slovak, everybody can watch the replay, embarrassing.

 

[DDRhockey]

Pettersson looks really good when Sweden gain the zone.

f*** everberg got the goal? Now he will get to play further on
