Although Sweden won 1–0, SVT Sports expert Mikael Renberg was very critical afterwards.

- It is a clearly failed effort for Sweden.

The third period was almost catastrophically bad, he said.

"Still satisfied"

Nor was the Swedish national team captain Magnus Hävelid completely satisfied.

- In the second period, we should be able to score in our power play, but we don't.

Then it's 1-0, we take a expulsion for six players on the ice and there are other mental aspects.

But I'm still satisfied that we got it together in the end and that we got away.

That is what you want to highlight.

But the passing game and the game with the puck were not approved yesterday, he tells SVT Sport the day after the victory, and explains that he does not think it was "catastrophically bad", as Renberg said:

- I don't think so, for several different reasons.

On the one hand, we win the match, and if we score Carl Lindbom, which is very good, and some other players.

Then there are those who are not good.

- We don't concede goals when we are outnumbered, and we keep away.

But I think we should be open to criticism in the game with the puck, and the defensive game also sucks.

But I wouldn't use that term, I wouldn't.
