Of course we'll always be outsiders vs. Swe and Can but with the right attitude and the correct tactics it should be possible to hang on and get a good result. Last time Swi played Can on an U18 IHWC Switzerland won

Switzerland has also beaten the US earlier this season and tied Sweden. The team also played well at the ivan Hlinka tournament, not sure what happened against Sweden and Canada in Sochi.

On top of that shots vs were not in the same proportion than the goals !!

shots vs were around 2/3 ... so nothing to result into a 10-1 or 6-0 !!
unless goalies suck, unless you cannot score, unless their goalie sucks (for us !)

This is why is was asking for some insight if available.

I do not like Celio, and i think he definitely mishandled players ... but in this relation (shots vs vs goals) ... their is little he can do.

Strong reaction, to be honest, I did not expect that.

Kevin Fiala will move to HV71 for next season, apparently him and his parents weren't happy with the Malmö organization. All of their best young guys have left or are leaving Malmö the last few years, something is definitely wrong there. HV71 will be a good team for him, he might not see much icetime with the senior club since they are one of the better SEL-teams but he will get an opportunity to play on a very strong J20 team (champions this season).
