First game of group play for both teams. The game is at 1:30 Eastern here in the US. I don’t know what time that is in Sweden, but I think it’s 7:30.

No Zegras for the USA. Goalie matchup will be Alnefelt vs. Knight.
 
Yup 7:30 Sweden. Sweden's lineup:

Holtz-Henriksson-Raymond
Andersson-Bjerselius-Grewe
Holmström-Costmar-Nybeck
M.Wahlgren-Sundvik-Lawner

Johansson-Söderström
Hedström-Broberg
Björnfot-Brännstam

Alnefelt

2nd & 3rd lines should flip.
 
For those living in Sweden, SVT will air this and every other trekronor game.
 
Sweden fans - who do we need to keep an eye on forward wise from this group? doesn't look like a typical strong/deep group this year at forward...the defense looks strong as usual though..hoping for an exciting game to watch..

Well, the obvious answer is the 2002's: Holtz, Raymond, & Nybeck.

As for 2019 draft eligibles: Holmström if he can get things going again, Grewe who unfortunately might catch your eye the wrong way if he does something stupid, & Costmar I'd say.

Grewe. This is what the coach of Djurgården had to say about him:

"He is at the top of the food chain, a t-rex, eats everything and thinks everything is under him"

Can one watch SVT online somehow?
Svtplay.se

You need a Swedish IP/VPN (or whatever it’s called :laugh:) however. But that’s not too difficult to fix.

Then just scroll down to “Direktsändningar” and it should be there somewhere.

Sweden is built with a oneline team in mind. With gunler we would had secondary scoring atleast.

Not liking our chances

Gunler... Oh wait!

Yup a one line team with a below average 1st line center.

The idiocy of Hävelid for not bringing the third or fourth best player available who plays in a position of need nonetheless is ineffable.

The forward depth goes from Meh but still OK to blah in a single move.
