13-1 without Pettersson, Nylander and Dahlin, good to hear. Scoring depth is what worries me most about this team so it's nice to see that all lines can contribute.

Thanks for this. That said, seeing who put up the assists would be good.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I know it's just 1 game but I don't see any reason Sweden shouldn't be the favorite for gold. What a scary team

 

[Tomas W]

Its just a pre tournament game, so it wont matter that much. Still good to see so many scorers, always good for the players confidence to "find twine" while playing in the tre kronor jersey.

according to some betting sites this team has the 3rd best odds after Canada USA and Russia

also, USA and Canada are by far favoured

Hmm, I personally think they have the strongest roster on paper. We'll see how things actually play out, but Sweden looks STACKED to me, and I'm not overly impressed with the rosters of any other team.

I say this as a Canadian, who will be cheering hard for Canada - Sweden has a lot more talent than we do this year. Dahlin/Liljegren/Brannstrom on D, Pettersson/Boqvist/Nylander (maybe) on forward (not to mention Davidsson, Soderlund, etc.), quality goaltending (Larsson the likely #1?), they just seem really strong to me.

on paper they do have the best team

either the oddsmakers are right on about this and we're the idiots. Or it's another situation like Team NA where we can see the skill and it translates in the games

quality goaltending (Larsson the likely #1?)

No most likely will Gustavsson be #1

Might beat Canada after all. Maybe USA. This team will meet Finland in the final.

they should beat canada imo
USA and Finland will be closer but I still take Sweden as my pick for gold

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

nvm

 

[Statsy]

This footage is pretty awesome! Like actually being at the game.

 

[kudla]

That Fjällby goal was awesome

 

[FinPanda]

Damn this Swedish team is scary. All those goals are scored with skill, can't see any luck. My favourites to win now.

 

[Snuuzi]

Hard to pick a favorite goal from that clip. Elvenes 12-1 goal was pretty nice batting down the puck from mid air on the breakaway. But it's good to see that atleast they can score. Would have been even nicer with a feed of the whole game, danmark could very well have been laying down and pretended to be dead for all we know.

 

[helax]

Wow, amazing plays on some of the goals. Not just bad plays from the Danes, it looks like we have an offensive idea!

 

[bottomofthefoodchain]

Yeah I wont get excited about an exhibition game against Denmark. Hopefully Lundeström wont get suspended.

 

[carlhockey]

You have one good exhibition game against Denmark and suddenly they will easily beat Canada? Lets not forgot Sweden has found a way to consistently choke in the medal round at this tournament, especially against Canada. Canada is coming in with the #1 goaltender in this tournament and their defense is up their as well...anything can happen when the pressure hits in the medal round.
