Sounds like we sucked. Did Bo also Suck? I feel like he probably didn't. Bet Sutter wishes he had some smarter players, ala Gaunce. Can't expect McDavid and Reinhart to compete against Swedens top 6, especially if they get Lindholm and Forsberg.

Horvat was okay. Sorta unnoticeable like everyone else apart from Paterson but he didn't make any big mistakes and threw a few hits. Good on the PK as well.

Bo was good in his own zone, on the PK and faceoffs (of course). Looks like Sweden identified McDavid as a threat because they were all over him all game.

Sweden looked bigger, faster and more motivated.

Goalie kept it from being embarrassing because it could have been a blowout early

Sweden is already stacked without Forsberg and Lindholm

Gotta say this Burakovsky thing is just ridiculous. Canada made a huge story there, basically out of nothing.

Too bad Gustav Possler will miss the tourney btw. 5th round steal for Buffalo.

To be fair, if anyone really needs a 5th round steal, it's the Sabres... ;)

Sweden is that good.. Keep in mind they are playing without Filip Forsberg and Elias Lindholm...

Johnson - Wennberg - Collberg

Forsberg - Lindholm - Burakovsky

Just a disgusting top 6..

The Predators have loaned Filip Forsberg to Team Sweden for the 2014 WJC. He joins a stacked Swedish squad that includes 11 returnees from last year's silver medal team.
