WCH recaps: The first day of pre-tournament action

Plot twists, close games (well, two of them were close), and fun nationalistic (well, kinda) hockey!

Sweden at Finland

Finland took the game 3-2 in overtime, but the score paints a picture of more evenly matched teams than they were in reality.

The early part of the game was a low-shooting affair as both sides struggled to get offensive zone time. In the first period Leo Komarov, Erik Haula and Lauri Korpikoski were the only line for Finland getting near the Swedish net. They couldn't keep that up, however, and finished the game with some poor results.
