Tre Kronor’s skipper decided he’s not waiting for anybody.
Game Notes:
- Slovakia did show a little bit of gumption here and there, but there’s not a whole lot you can do when your opponent’s captain decides it’s time to make as blunt a statement as they can muster in the form of a hat trick. Sweden is gonna be a tough beat, even if they’re willing to give up some goals. Sam Urban, Slovakia’s goaltender, was very early on bailed out by his defense, but eventually the dam broke as the Swedes began to abuse his glove side.
