With Diaz out (and Furrer did not return for the third period) Switzerland missing their top-pairing and just playing with 5 D now.

Sweden put in 4th gear again and Swiss has a hard time matching that. Looking really good right now if you're a Swedish fan.
He has played that active rebound control, redirecting shots to certain areas his entire career.

Sweden hasn't really convinced me in this tournament, even though they have a strong NHL team. Probably going to be Canada's year once again.
Sweden got this game right now. But watch what will happen if Switzerland scores. Back to panick mode.

Sweden are so ****ing lazy sometimes, often feels like we are adjusting ourselves to the opponents instead of playing our own game and pace.
I am positive we would look like an entirely new team vs Canada but it would be nice if we could play with a higher pace vs other countries too.

I don't think it's in the making at all. He's already one, Nylander was the Leafs best forward the last four months. Whatever line he was on, was the best. He had sky high possesion throughout the year but low OISH%. He actually finished low in that even though he got 61 points. That's what's really exciting about him, he didn't have any numbers that jump out as unsustainable. With a little bit of luck on ES, he's got 75-80 points.
I hope the Leafs sign him as soon as they are eligible to so we can get a bit of discount. If he dominates like I expect him to next season, we will have to pay him what the Oilers will have to pay Draisaitl.
Pretty much. The thing going for Sweden is that there should be room for improvement from what we see now.
