The scrutiny of EP40 is on another level. It's somewhat amusing considering the guy ends up being the hero today. Annoyingly I was blocked from watching as can't watch CBC feed from phone. You guys have it good in Canada - BBC shows max two events and literally cut the Canada hockey game halfway through the broadcast to show something else unannounced too.
Up until this game I would say Pettersson had been "mid" but far from the biggest disappointment on Sweden.
Game 1 - Actually pretty good. Should have scored, would have an assist but Zibanejad couldn't hit the open net. Had a great screen on the 4-2 goal. Game 2 - Mid. Did nothing but the Swedes lost because they went 0-5 on the PP including giving up a SH goal. Pettersson doesn't play on the PP, hence had low ice time too. Ended up -1 because Zibanejad passed into his skates on an empty net goal. Game 3 - didn't watch but obviously 2 goals when game is tied 2-2 is a good outcome.
Per - I trust you have watched all 3 games. Do you agree? Who has stood out (good & bad) on Team Sweden? I'm confused by the coach - specifically why Forsberg is the extra forward.
Suomi leads 3:0 after the 1st. They'll win this game for sure.
That means Slovakia is 1st and already in the quarterfinal, Suomi 2nd waiting for the other groups closing out and Sweden just 3rd playing the prequarter playoff. Good luck.
