USA wins this one rather easily..

5-1

Always great to have the two best teams in the tournament matching up for Gold.

Underrated plotline is the rivalry that's likely been built up between these two age groups for the countries. They played in the 2022 Under-18 Gold Medal Game, the 2023 Under-18 Gold Medal Game and the 2023 World Juniors Bronze Medal Game, and all were very exciting games. So this match has been building for a couple of years.

Should be a good one.

Time to pressure the US defense and play Lindstein-Willander a ton!

My GF has decided she is rooting for the Swedes full time based on the gold jerseys.

I mean, they are really sick

Not to forget Cutter Guthiers hollywood-esque cliche interview last night when he said the Swedes stole the gold medals off their necks at the u-18s.

Should be an awesome game! Let's hockey!!

Sweden is going to have alot of jump early on being the host. USA can’t have the defensive zone lapses we had against Finland. Need to play smart in our own end. This is a talented Swedish team.

Let’s go USA!!

How the hell is there a US born ref working this game?

Collusion, conspiracies and general chicanery. And not even in favor of the right team!

 

[novisor]

It will come down to the US defense. If they can close the door they win. I believe the curse lifts today though, Sweden 4-3.

 

[c9gunner]

Lets go USA!
