We're losing a big cannon from the point, a big guy in front of the net in our zone as well.

We kill the game in the neutral zone -- if we didn't do that, the scores would be the other way. Those guys who got named the second and third wave add excitement and energy to our room.

We killed the game. We killed their excitement.

We need to slow them down, take their time and space and their excitement away. Their team is scary, one on one, so we need to outman them everywhere and play really well in the in the neutral zone so they can't use it as a runway.

We went forward by two goals during the first period. At that moment, we should have been more precise and attentive in defending the result. On the contrary, the USA was able to score a couple goals and get the tie. We had to start again. And in the end, they were able again to come back. But fortunately, we won.

The situation for us or Sweden can't get any better. Can't get more exciting.

The ultimate if you were born in Finland ... or in Sweden.
