Sweden won in OT, a 4 on 3 PP. A Hedman shot at the stick of Ek, who was parked in front of the goalie. A classic Ek deflection, and a classic celebration afterwards.
His lovely punchable face with the widest of smiles. Now he's the hero of Sweden.
Gus had a great game, on the goal he let in Hedman had a brainfart and failed to take away the stick of Hannes Björninen (Hedman was just standing beside him) who was left all alone in front of Gus and redirected the puck into the net. Oh sorry, he was not alone, another Finn was standing right beside him. Nothing Gus could do on that one.
Ek GWG, 5 shots, -1 18.38 TOI
Johansson 3 shots, 17.08 TOI
Brodin 17.57 TOI
Gus 19 saves, .950%
Team USA lost to the Czechs on a fluke goal off a Spacek shot that bounced arond and hit the chest of Zacha and in. No goal scored for USA. Sorry for you all.
Boldy 6 shots, 22.41 TOI
Hynes chewed about 37 chewing gums during the game and spoke a lot about the "Identity" of the team afterwards.
Another notable thing was Marcus Johansson throwing a heavy open ice hit, not sure I've ever seen him do that before.
