Literally all of the Wild guys played well in this one IMO. Boldy and JEE had some real good battles and got heated at points, fun to see! JEE player of the game.

Zuccarello named best player for Norway in a 5-2 loss vs Switzerland. As captain he has some mentoring to do here, show these kids how to play hockey :D

Ek 2+1, 8 shots , +1, 18.27 TOI, voted Player of the game.
Johansson 1+1, 2 shots, +2, 16.18 TOI
Brodin 5 shots, -1, 22.07 TOI

Gus 28 saves, .933%

Boldy 0+1, 3 shots, 21.50 TOI

Hynes 11 chewing gums and 3 "Identity's" during post game presser.

I think the Wild bunch had a great game, all of them, but Ek dude was the maestro of this game.
He got a lot of praise from Peter Forsberg, who was the studio expert for Sweden's broadcast.

He's had how many years here to be a "mentor"? Yet, the results have always been the same. Nada. He doesn't make his linemates any better.

He just needs to focus on less turnovers and being a little more selfish with the puck. You don't have to pass it every freaking time.

Zucc looked really good today, it was entirely passing, but he was really on point and made up nearly the entirety of Norway's offensive chance generation. Good showing for him and wish he was that crisp all the time.

MBN has a real nice shot and nice tools to go along with it. I was impressed by how involved he was and he fit in well with the seniors. Showed good instincts for the danger areas, though Switzerland mostly outclassed lines 2-4 for Norway.

Nino was just free to impose his will all game, IIHF refs definitely gave him a break compared to usual standards because guys were just ragdolling around him.

Sweden vs Poland 5-1
Austria vs Swiss 5-6

Johansson having a great tournament, I didn't even know he had this in him.
Need to find out what's up with his lack of production for the Wild.
