Got a deflection goal to go up 3-1. But the Swedes answer on a PP with :05 left in the 2nd.

Gonna be a really tight one to close out in front of that crowd. Ice was definitely tilted their way in the 2nd.

USA increases the lead to 5-2 with under 4 minutes to play. That should do it.

5-2! Gold looks to be USA’s now. This was a really really good bunch.

12 of them lost to Sweden in the Gold medal as U18.

6-2!

So the pissed off Swedes decide to make it fight night with 30 seconds left. Enjoy listening to our anthem, assholes.

This had been brewing all game. Lots of tough battles between these kids. Swedes got their ass kicked today.

I was reading a hockey discussion board that is a good mix of NA and EU fans.. the EU fans were mad that Team USA were being “sore winners.” Not upset that Sweden sent out a goon who hadn’t played for most of the game to try to fight USA’s best player(s). Luckily for Sweden, they won’t have a long ride home.

Congrats on second place, number two. The first loser!

USA is closing the gap between them and Canada on the international stage. Hopefully the men can win gold next Olympics.

Bedard ended up on IR with a broken jaw.

Why would anyone think that's a dirty hit? He skates right into the heart of the defense like he was still in juniors and got blasted. Sucks, but hopefully he stops doing that. When I've watched, that's usually when he gets knocked off the puck and turns it over. He might be able to do that eventually, but he needs to get stronger first. That's been the biggest issue with his game that I've seen so far. Too many trips into the offensive zone that result in him getting knocked off the puck with ease. Otherwise, he looks great (in the offensive zone, anyways).

Hope he heals up quick. He's electrifying.

Clean. Not even an overtly hard hit. And he broke his jaw?? Talk about glass Joe. Damn.

Keep your head up, rook....

The Oilers started the season 5-12-1, everyone was writing their obituary and saying McDavid/Draisaitl we're going to want to be traded and generally forecasting impending doom. Since then they've gone 18-3, have won 10 straight and look like the best team in the league. Funny how quickly things can change in hockey.
