5-2 towards USA.

5-1 towards Poland.

Tre Kronor has had a very good begin on the Hockey World Cup within the Czech Republic and even when the sport has not all the time been profitable, there have been two wins and 6 factors. In opposition to Poland, Sweden had a combined efficiency to say the least as they dominated the sport for a very long time – however had been additionally careless with the puck and provided the Poles a number of possibilities.

Union captain Sam Hallam is however glad with the win.

– I believe we begin precisely as we wish, come out with a whole lot of pace by way of the center zone and do not get caught of their recreation. Then they’re sharp of their counterattacks and I believe we deal with that as properly. We’ve got quite a bit they usually have some risks. Then we have now to combat a bit and hold the extent up, it is that easy. However we’ll nonetheless come out of right here with a win, rating a couple of targets within the powerplay and get to kill the boxplay.

Another person who was very completely happy afterwards was workforce captain and again star Erik Karlsson, who was in excessive spirits when he met the media after the 5-1 victory on Sunday night time.

– It was a enjoyable match. It is probably not one of the best match we could have within the match, however it’s important to give credit score to Poland.

– It was enjoyable, I believe all of us had enjoyable on the market. They drove properly, created their very own possibilities and capitalized once we had been on the unsuitable facet of the puck. They made it troublesome for us so it was a very good recreation for us and naturally very enjoyable that we may dangle 5 and two in PP.

“Need us to all the time win the photographs 23-0”

Tre Kronor obtained off to an optimum begin with 2-0 already after simply over six minutes of play, however then Sweden started to let Poland into the match once more.

Did you get slightly too comfy after that begin?
– Sure, sadly will probably be slightly. We must always not stick underneath the chair with that. Once we performed properly on the market, we’re a lot better than they’re, however as quickly as we let off the gasoline slightly and obtained slightly comfy, then they had been there and driving. It is all about Poland, however I nonetheless assume it felt fairly protected on the market on the entire. We sort of know that we let extra go than we must always have executed. We had been a bit half-hearted at instances and that is one thing we have now to repair, says Erik Karlsson.

Confederation captain Sam Hallam additionally believes that Sweden allowed too many possibilities towards their very own purpose.

– I all the time assume so. I assumed the identical in regards to the USA. I need us to all the time win the photographs 23-0 however we hardly ever do. The problem in a match like that is that you just get to do sure issues you could’t usually do. You get extra time in some locations the place you would not get it in any other case and elsewhere you get much less time than you assume you must have. We’re working exhausting and I believe many come out within the third and nonetheless present the place we try to push slightly drive in the entire thing once more.

Nonetheless, Hallam doesn’t wish to spotlight any particular gamers after the win.

– In a match like this, I do not assume a lot of anybody. Erik makes two luggage and such, however we’re higher than we’re right now. The vital factor is how we glance tomorrow (towards Germany).

Lengthy await Erik Karlsson

Erik Karlsson makes his first match with Three Crowns for the reason that World Cup 2016. At the moment he was the workforce captain of the Ottawa Senators and since then he has managed to get thrice, first to the San Jose Sharks and most lately to the Pittsburgh Penguins the place he performs now.

In opposition to Poland, the 33-year-old from Småland stepped ahead and scored two targets, for 3-0 and 5-1 within the match. It was the star defender’s first purpose within the nationwide workforce since he scored within the World Cup semi-final on September 25, 2016 – 2,786 days in the past.

– It is all the time enjoyable. I imply to attain targets, that is why you began taking part in hockey while you had been little. Everybody did. However you’ll be able to’t do this a lot anymore, it is about benefiting from the probabilities you get, says “EK65” in regards to the long-awaited success for Sweden.

Karlsson’s first purpose within the match got here on a direct shot after a pleasant move by André Burakovsky.

– I knew I wanted to get it out rapidly. “Burra” bought it completely fantastically, so I noticed instantly that it was only a matter of hitting the goal and getting it away as rapidly as doable, then it had a very good likelihood and now it went in too. It is time for “Burra”, I simply took time without work after which it sat on the bullseye of my membership after which it was only a matter of eliminating it as rapidly as doable.

“Releasing greater than we wish”

Within the opener towards the USA, Sweden was not allowed to play any energy performs and through Sunday’s morning warm-up, Tre Kronor educated on “particular groups” – which had an impact. There have been no targets conceded within the field play and after a tentative begin within the PP recreation, Sweden scored two energy play targets on the finish of the match.

Erik Karlsson is likely one of the most vital gamers for Sweden’s energy play and in addition scored a PP purpose.

– It was good to get a really feel for it in a match right here, so now we would have one thing to construct on there. It’s in fact very humorous that each models had been capable of rating, it helps slightly. It was good that we obtained to check it right now anyway. It nonetheless felt fairly protected on the market, I believe. Even when we ended up in barely unsuitable positions at instances, nobody panicked, we changed one another properly and that is a very good base to construct on, I believe.

Two wins in two video games – however Sweden can nonetheless play higher in comparison with Sunday night time’s recreation based on the workforce captain.

– It is as I mentioned, Poland is doing nice. They drive once they get the prospect and solely speed up once we are on the unsuitable facet of the puck. It’s clear that we let in slightly greater than we wish. However that is how it’s generally. It is quick on the market they usually performed properly and made it troublesome for us. Now we have now one thing to construct on right here and hopefully we will drop to much less and fewer because the match goes on, concludes Erik Karlsson.
