It seems that one of the main favorites of the tournament is already known.

For once, the US national hockey team claimed first place in the group, once again sending away the most eminent team to the tournament. True, according to rumors, two players from the American roster, forwards Rocco Grimaldi and TJ Tynan, may continue their careers in the KHL next season. Meanwhile, both are on fire as part of the Stars and Stripes, who have won the previous two meetings (before the reporting confrontation with the Swedes) with an aggregate score of 12:0.

Hands on to the decisive stage of the World Cup

In turn, the Swedes should highlight players with a Kahaelian past: goalkeeper Lars Johansson (two “crackers”, one missed goal in three games played), forwards Andre Petersson and Oscar Lindberg. In the absence of NHL stars, it was these hockey players who became team leaders, rather than coping with their duties and understanding all responsibility.

So the last day of the group stage of the 2023 World Cup promised to be interesting from all points of view. The battle of the two leaders, who have not lost a single match before in the group, for the final front row always attracts extra attention.

In the first half, both goals were mostly scored. Absolutely nothing surprising – the game turned out to be quite tough. Which is a takeout for Mikey Eissimonta, who flew to the knee of Rasmus Sandin. The doctors took the Swedish defender to the locker room.

Soon, Team USA was completely out with three of them, for which they paid. Karlsson waited for the pass into the right faceoff circle, from where he immediately shot it into the corner near the goal. Desmith didn’t have time to move.

Then came the elimination of the Scandinavians, who took advantage of the North American team. Bonino received the puck in the right faceoff circle, turned to the gate and literally blazed against Johansson with a hard shot.

In the second twenty-minute period, the Americans scored again for the first time in the majority. Grimaldi turned the tables and made a pass to the gate. Johansson tackled Mazur’s shot from a penny, but Garland grabbed the rebound and finished the puck into the net.

And then David Quinn’s players scored in the end, taking advantage of the ridiculous loss of the puck by the Swedish defenders in the outside zone. Hutson made an interception, sprinted for the gate and with the brushes aimed at the far nine, Johansson missed. 3:1 in favor of the USA after two periods. Judgment for Sweden? Nothing like this.

In the third segment of the match, Leo Karlsson scored a brace. The Swede broke through on the right flank and shot at the gate. So he unsuccessfully framed the stick and put the puck under the crossbar.

Tre Krunur’s coaching staff took a timeout, which in the end was beneficial. Tömmernes received a pass on the blue line and shot to the ground. Lillegren fought very well on the penny and finished the puck into the net. 3:3 – overtime.

His Swedes could have been the starters in the majority, because shortly before the siren, Raymond was hit in the face with a stick and even knocked out a tooth. However, the judges, after studying the repetition, did not see even two minutes.

In the end, the Americans got away with it. Mazur went to the front and made a transfer to the center of the area. Samberg took the puck and tossed it into the top corner of the net with his hands.

Thus, for the first time in history, the Americans won all the matches of the group stage of the World Cup (there have been divisions into groups and playoffs since 1992). It seems that the American team is tired of embarrassing itself in world forums. Let’s see how it performs below. The Swedes finished second in the group but also avoided Canada in the quarterfinals. The Scandinavians will play the Czech Republic or Latvia.
