Mats Sundin’s harsh analysis of Sweden’s game: “It was like watching a plane crash”
The Lions caused a big surprise in the Olympics on Friday by defeating Sweden 4-1.
In the western neighbor, experts largely agreed on what was the turning point of the match. It was Joel Armia‘s shorthanded goal. First, Erik Haula had been wrestling against three Swedes along the boards before delivering the puck to Armia in a free spot in front of the goal. From a Swedish perspective, it was catastrophic defensive play.
– Sweden was on top of the game, they had just managed to create energy on the bench and on the ice. This passive moment was, in my opinion, decisive, Henrik Lundqvist analyzed SVT‘s broadcast.
Celebrating his birthday on Friday, Mats Sundin also had some strong words in the Swedish broadcast of HBO Max.
– It was like watching a plane crash. A lot of things went wrong, Sundin remarked.
On the radio side, Magnus Wahlman also delivered a sharp analysis.
– This was already embarrassing. The play was like in a chicken coop.
The Lions will face Italy in their last group match on Saturday at 17:40.
