WHAT? Are you kidding me? If that was intentional (which it looks like it was), that hockey IQ is insane. Sedin-level smarts.

The kid’s head is almost always up, and he’s looking to make plays.  He’s a beauty for sure.

How EP didn't get the player of the game is beyond me. He was all over and out on the ice for much of the last 6 mins. Hard pressed to notice Nylander. 

Played the most minutes of any Swedish forward but Dahlin still was more of a force.   Nylander?   I don't get him as he was often a problem and seemed incapable of making simple passes.

I just watched EP's highlights and was very impressed. The defense of the USA were worried every time EP had the puck, And he made many nice plays. Smooth

He had a pretty good game today; got things going in the game for Sweden. However, one play I remember is Pettersson trying to bump Yamamoto (5'8, 155 lbs) off the puck with Elias falling over. His puck skills and IQ are there, but he still needs more time for the physical part of the game. I want him to be more than a powerplay specialist for us.

Pretty sad the Sweden coaches have named their three best players of the tournament. The Gold medal game isn't even over.Any player could have the game of his life bringing a very important medal to Sweden. That's the GOLD. What message are they sending to younger players. The Gold medal game isn't important? Nylander has looked awful and my bet he will look awful Friday also. He has passed to Ep a few times in places only EP could score from.  Wake up Hockey People. Lets see how it ends then pick your players. Pick them when it counts.
