Most had probably counted on six points for Tre Kronor after the two initial matches in the hockey World Cup.
But the points were not missed and after five group games played, they are two points from a playoff spot.
- There are heights and there are really valleys.
They started with the valleys and lost two games against teams they will win against.
Then they meet Switzerland and play incredibly well.
They have intensity, they want to win duels, they want to create chances by going in front of goal, says Maria Rooth and continues:
- There is so much more, but it is difficult to analyze Sweden.
They have to increase their intensity, against Great Britain it was low and really bad.
It was nonchalance.
They have to start much better in the next match.
"Shit in chemistry"
Federation captain Johan Garpenlöv has chosen to rotate in the chains during the tournament, and in Friday's match Marcus Sörensen stepped into the second chain together with the Kempe brothers.
- Now Sörensen came in, but it is difficult to analyze against Great Britain.
Rasmussen did a great job before with both Mario and Adrian who got to play a little more hockey, while Rasmussen did a bit of shit in front of goal.
The question is whether Sörensen does it against better resistance.
I hope so, because he has a lot of skating and "go".
- Choose a combination and drive on it if it does not completely fail, says SVT's expert Maria Rooth.
Instead of finding new combinations, there are other areas for improvement for Tre Kronor, she believes.
- Shit in chemistry.
Number one, they have to skate more, you have to want it more than the opponent.
There are duels everywhere on the court, every time the puck is free it is a duel.
I do not think Sweden was there (against Great Britain).
On Sunday, Tre Kronor meets Slovakia, at 19.15 on SVT.
