eazy win for switzerland. sweden getting 1 point would be a huge upset.

While I cheer for Swiss, I wouldnt be suprised if Sweden gets their act together and steal a point or two.

based on what. the swedish team is horrible on the paper and on the ice. and a shit coach. we are not even gonna beat uk.

 

[BigBadBoar]

This is a must win game for Sweden. I expect them either to take this one, or collapse competely and end up in an utter ruin. So, it may end like 4-3 Sweden as well as like 6-1 Switzerland.

Last win from Switzerland vs. Sweden was 2013 at the WC-opener.

You can´t be serious. This trash-talk against Sweden on your part (since not even the start of the tournament) is super annoying.

 

[Derbon99]

Sweden 1st and 2nd lines are decent.
Switzerland roster is better IMO
Let s see if Sweden wants to win and if they start aggressively the game.
An interesting one for sure

 

[AB13]

Intresting line changes from Garpenlöv, not a fan of Lundeström centering Olofsson though. Not even sure if Sweden are favorites today, hopefully the team wakes up.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Fasth in the goal when he looked so bad against denmark makes no sense. reidenborn or ersson should be the starter.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Lets hope we see this emotions in todays game.

The problem is Switzerland plays an organized game with a plan where the players know what they're supposed to do. You don't get that sense in the Swedish team, which is usually the very opposite. It not only lacks a bite, the Swedish play has looked very scrambled. The Swedish team has to play a much better and organized game than against Denmark and Belarus to win.

The Swedish offense has been awful and the defense very suspect. The special teams quite mediocre and puck possession has been very bad. I think Switzerland should have very good winning chances, but we will see what happens.

 

[Czechboy]

The Swiss always play Sweden well. This Swiss team is very good. Swedes are amazing at hockey.

3-2 in OT for one of them.lol

 

[kudla]

Lets hope we see this emotions in todays game.

The best part is how Rodin couldn't stop laughing at his own joke

 

[theslatcher]

Lööv still in lmao

 

[AB13]

Never ever play Viktor Lööv.

 

[Dala]

Lööv still in lmao

lol

 

[Eye of Ra]

lööv...hahahahah...hahahaha...hahahahahaha

 

[PTmbp13]

What a dive!

 

[PTmbp13]

Swiss on their heels. Panic in team Swiss. Vikings are coming

 

[Chimpradamus]

The best 8 minutes Sweden has played by far in the tournament. It's like another team on the ice.

 

[canswetoxic]

is this a new Swedish team or ? the playing styles are so different.

 

[stastny12]

Sweden is looking like a gold medal contender again

 

[canswetoxic]

Complete dominance and smooth, i am in shocked.

You're not the only one. It's like a binary thing. They looked like utter trash for two games against weaker opposition, now they dominate Switzerland so far. Incredible effort and intensity, good structure, crisp passing, distinct shots, what is going on?!
