Not good match by Sweden but not easy with ukraines hooking and slashing all the time. Referee Vladimir Sindler should give more penaltys...
 
How could Sindler miss that hooking by the ukraine on Zetterberg. This is ridicolous. Everytime i see Sindler he is so bad :(
 
Ukraine almost scored again.

A serious lack of defensive play.
Sweden should look at the Austrians play yesterday for lessons in team defense.

Sweden is playing like Slovakia, sporadically good and poorly.
The Czechs and Finns have been the most solid so far.

If Sweden doesn't put it together soon, they'll be going home after the quarterfinals.
 
Poor defense by Sweden but I have the feeling they will get better against other teams. Some amazing saves by Lundqvist :bow: :bow: :handclap: :handclap:
 
Well, I was an empty netter short of my prediction. As I suspected, Sweden had big problems and didn't look sharp at all. And it seems that scoring and being the best skating forward of the night isn't enough for Kahnberg, last 10 minutes Höglund was back with his buddys from FBK. The most positive thing about this game was to see Kronwall and Bäckman. Two modern looking defenders, crisp passes, great offensive instincts and not too shabby in their own zone either.
 
Looked like it always look when Sweden plays the b-nations (no offence ;)).

Lundqvist, Kronwall, Samuelsson, Bäckman and Zetterberg was most impressive IMO.

The Sedins were pretty much awful, too bad Hagos was cut..
 
The score lies...3-2...hmm it should've been like 10-0?

The referee was a JOKE!

Zetterberg got penalized for interference when it was the ukranien player who interfered Zetterberg...
 
Mikael Samuelsson looked really good with Alfredsson and PÃ¥hlsson, nice to know for the future. Samuelsson is a really underrated player.

The twins har a though game, they didn't get anywhere, but I think, or hope maybe, they'll be better the better the competition get.

To summarize there wasn't many players that stood out, Zetterberg, Jönsson and Nordström was best among forwards while Kronwall and Bäckman looked good on defense. Otherwise none played as good as they can.

Don't know if Kahnberg was scratched, he got a really hard hit and left the ice in the shift before. Hopefully it's nothing serious.
 
I want some new combos for the next game:

Samuelsson - PÃ¥hlsson - Alfredsson - they looked good.
Zetterberg - Franzen - Hedström - Zetterberg can focus more on offence.
Sedin - Sedin - Kahnberg - a scorer with the twins, with "Samme" they all ended up along the bords.
Nordström - Jönsson - Weinhandl - :dunno:
 
Best Wikegård (Swedish TV announcer) quote of the day:

"The Swedes act like wet cats and pity themselves." :biglaugh:

That pretty much sums up the Swedish performance, a very weak performance overall, the goals were nice but that's about it. And the referee was about as weak as the Swedish team, what a joke.

Looks rather good, but I would replace Franzen with Axelsson. Why not try to bring back "line 80" with Sedin, Sedin and Weinhandl? They should at least get the chance on the power play.

Actually, I think we should contiune with our current lines. Samuelsson and the twins have shown they can play well, and we really need to get the twins going, they must produce if Sweden is going anywhere in this tournament. I hope BÃ… continue to give them PP time, and not put them on the bench after one poor prerformance like Hardy did.

Yeah why not. They could play "hide and seek" together, considering how well they hid the last 2 periods of the game I say that line will be pretty hard to find.

I knew i had forgotten someone - PJ, but i do think we need to "free" Zetterberg, lets try something else against the Danes tommorow..
I agree that we need the twins to start scoring but with Samuelsson they all end up in the corner.
Sedin-Sedin-Weinhandl, didnt they try that in Modo?
