Nylander gem sparks win

Swiss lose cautious game, 3-1

ZA6_1862_Channel%20Homepage%20Slider.jpg

 

William Nylander's incredible breakaway goal broke a 1-1 tie midway through the middle period, propelling Sweden to victory and another semi-finals berth.

 

The Swedes now face ever-rivals Finland in one semi-finals on Saturday in Cologne while another great rivaly presents itself in the other--Canada versus Russia.

 

Coming into the game Sweden was 5-0 all time agianst the Swiss in elimination/playoff games since the playoff format was introduced, including that momentous 5-1 win in the gold-medal game four years ago.

 

"I liked the way we played," said defenceman Victor Hedman. "I liked the intensity we had and the opportunities we had. It’s a 60-minute hockey game. We know that, and we just kept plugging away and came out with a big win."

 

"I thought we played well," Nicklas Backstrom agreed. "I thought in the second period, we played a pretty strong team game. We managed the puck well, and after our goals, we got some energy from that. We played better. This is my third game, and I’d say this was our best team game. Perfect timing. We’re going to build from here and move on."

 

If one could pinpoint reasons for the result, two things stand out: the Swiss could not convert a four-minute power play early in the second; and, two goals came as a result of rebounds, wide open Swedes being given easy second chances after good saves by Leonardo Genoni.

"I thought we played pretty well," Cody Almond offered, "but we didn’t get enough offence. I think the power play was kind of our Achilles heel. When we get that four-minute power play, we have to find a way to score a goal there. But they’re a tough team."

 

Nylander started the play the led to the opening goal. His quick pass to Oscar Lindberg gave Lindberg a good chance in the slot. His shot was kicked out by Genoni but it landed on the stick of Nicklas Backstrom, and he had no trouble finding the back of the net at 4:15.

 

Sweden played its usual kill-the-clock style effectively, but the Swiss got back into it on a lucky play. Gaetan Haas chased down a loose puck to the side of the goal after he lost control of it on a rush, and he backhanded a pass between his legs in front. The puck went off the stick of Swedish defenceman Oliver Ekman-Larssn and beat Lundqvist at 12:53.

 

The Swiss had a fantastic opportunity to blow the game open when Backstrom took a double minor high-sticking penalty early in the second, but the Sweden p.k. was letter perfect. That proved to be a turning point in the game.

 

Then came Nylander’s goal at 13:15. Edman-Larsson got the puck deep in his own end and fired a spectacular 30-metre pass up the middle to Nylander breaking through centre ice between two Swiss defenders. 

 

Nylander blew by one, but Christian Marti kept hounding him, eventually tripping him near the goal. But as he was falling—the referee indicating a penalty or even penalty shot—Nylander slid the puck between Genoni’s pads. If this wasn't the best goal of the tournament, well, which one was?

 

The Swiss, though, were not going to go quietly. Denis Hollenstein made a nice rush down the right side, helped by a stumble by Anton Stralman. Going in on Lundqvist, Hollenstein tried the Forsberg one-handed move and pushed the puck just wide to the near side.

 

Tre Kronor aided their cause by scoring 3:44 into the third. Alexander Edler came over the Swiss blue line, dropped the puck to Joel Lundqvist and headed to the net. Lundqvist's shot was kicked out by Genoni but again onto the stick of Edler. His quick shot went it to make it 3-1.

 

"Of course you’re always happy when you contribute and can score a goal," Edler said. "It was a great shot, great rebound, pretty much an empty net."

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
    • More information has been released on the first edition of the World Athletics Ultimate Championships in 2026, including the events. Mixed 4x100m relay will make its global debut.    https://x.com/worldathletics/status/1859915183071662442?s=46&t=_XjleMNZelg_AVmJy7FfWA

    • is considering US born goalie Joey Daccord for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off.    https://thehockeynews.com/news/team-canada-is-seriously-considering-usa-born-joey-daccord-for-4-nations-face-off   .923 SV% in 13 games, and 9-3-1 on the season. Would be a big pickup for our goalie issues.
