Hope it doesn't hurt too much watching Forsling play.
One of the things I've always liked about the juniors is just how fragile the teams can be, especially when they have bad goal-tending. Anything can happen and no lead is safe. It's been awhile since Canada hasn't had any question marks in net for the juniors.Per wrote:So what do we learn?

Nylander will not play against the USA, but remains on the roster. Hopefully he will be able to return to the tournament. Either way, Sweden punished the dirty Swiss team by outplaying them and winning 8-3. Four assists for the younger Nylander. Kempe and Timashov also looked good.”The hit in question occurred near centre ice with just over five minutes remaining in the first period. Nylander had just gained possession of the puck and was turning to move up the ice when Egli came in and delivered a check to the head to Nylander, who dropped to the ice and then had to leave the game.
The Panel confirmed that Egli’s hit is in violation of rule no. 124 Checking to the Head or Neck. The Panel also determined had Egli had ample time to alter his approach to avoid violently checking Nylander in the head, that his actions endangered the safety of his opponent and that supplemental discipline is applicable”.
