Three kronor outnumbered Great Britain | SVT Sport

The match may not have been as intense as usual, but the Swedes men arranged the goals with a ferocious pace in the first half. It took 13 seconds before Rasmus Asplund, every day in the NHL’s Buffalo Sabers, gave Tre Kronor the lead.

Joachim Nordstrom, Calgary Flames, scored 2-0 less than eight minutes later, and just two minutes later, Roggel’s Anton Bengson arranged 3-0. Rasmus Dahlen, who also plays for the Buffalo Sabers, then took the opportunity to score his first World Cup goal (4-0) and seconds before the break, Asplund again took the lead and scored.

5-0.

‘It’s pointless’

Then Tre Kronor slipped through the second period, without expanding but also without allowing anything.

Tre Kronor then extended his lead to 6-0 in the last period through Anton Bengtsson, but he didn’t provide any extra pressure but played it safe – and energy-saving.

The match was decided after 13 seconds. The look of the game is unreliable, Sweden just plays it. The second period was absolutely meaningless. But I don’t put value in that either, there is no intrinsic value to winning 10-0, says SVT expert, Jonas Anderson.

Asplund: ‘We got them’

It was Tre Kronor’s third victory in a row.

“There were three points that counted today and we got them,” Asplund says.

Tomorrow a major trial awaits. Then she meets favorite Finland, who also comes with three straight wins in the backpack.
