It was a one-sided story that started Magnus Hävelid's JVM career with the Junior crowns.
11-0 against Austria, where it was a game against one goal.
- Of course, I'm happy that we're winning.
We will win against Austria.
Now we're up and running.
Now I'm going to rejoice with the boys, go home and sum up a bit and load up for the Germany match, says Hävelid to SVT Sport.
For Hävelid, it wasn't the eleven goals they won with that was the best from the opener, but the way they defeated Austria.
- We move the puck much better.
We work for each other through and through.
We are sending good signals.
If you drop the puck, you must get it back.
You win melees, you are ready to block shots.
Those are the little signals to a stall.
Then I think we show good joy out there, he says.
Sweden plays its second match against Germany at 19.30 Swedish time tomorrow, December 27.
