2026 Olympic Hockey

[Per]

Petey should have scored there, but Clara is phenomenal tonight.



Edit: Petey’s deke didn’t result in a goal, but it ended Clara’s game.

Let’s see if the Italian backup is more fun to play against!

Good screen by Petey on Zibanejad’s goal. 4-2!

I know the bar is low but I think Petey has been one of the more noticeable players for Sweden (in a good way). He should have buried that goal off the post - bad break.

Overall a bit of a tepid game for Sweden but not a bad way to start. You could argue better than winning 10-0 as they really had to find their game and deal with unexpected stress (you could see them clutching their sticks a little after somehow being tied 2-2 despite outplaying Italy).

Surprisingly good and chirpy game today. Clara was really good.

Yep. Won't show up on the scoresheet but it was a good screen. Also he should have an assist just before that if Zibanejad didn't miss the wide open net.

Apparently Sweden set a new Olympic record for shots on goal!

Shots ended 60-22 with the final score 5-2.

Who were on the ice for Italy’s goals?

Some people are too fixicated on stats and on final on goalies. Trust me, i never gave too much but also never quit out on my goalies. Imo in a team game they're pretty overrated. When i compare the teamplay of Sweden and Finland in their first games. Beware of Suomi despite their loss.

So friggin Pettersson that his good game means viewers had a chance to be annoyed he couldn’t score on several different occasions. Utterly hapless, lol

Trade stock highest it's been in years.



Finns with a suprising loss to Slovakia.

Slafkovsky with a big game....
