2018 WJC: Highlights – USA 2, Sweden 4 (Semifinals)
Kieffer Bellows and Brady Tkachuk both scored but the U.S. National Junior Team fell to Sweden, 4-2, in its semifinal game of the 2018 IIHF World Junior Championship.
Two big faults that cost the US this game. Weak goaltending and selfish play. The Middlestat 3 on 0 could have been both a goal and no penalty if he'd have played team play and passed the puck for a sure goal Instead he chose to be a puck hog. All three players did not play together on that play. Spread out and pass the puck.
NHL Rule 64.1 Diving/Embellishment – Any player or goalkeeper who blatantly dives, embellishes a fall or a reaction, or who feigns an injury shall be penalized with a minor penalty under this rule.
It was a good game. Exciting with opportunities on both sides. However, if you are a 'murican you should be ashamed of the sportsmanship of the US team. I've never seen so many dives in one game. A truly shameful display and you should let the management team know that you don't want to see that. I also hope they open an investigation on the refs. Something was stinking in the state of Denmark.
You know for those of you trashing the Americans . For the Canadians thier wasn't really much to brag about blowing a 2 goal lead. And not scoring one Singal goal on penalty shots vs the Americans. So on that note let's see if the Canadians get the chance to brag tonight. And no I'm not an American or Swedish. But, Let's see if the Canadian junior team will leave up to the expectation and the hype!! Watch them blow it like they did with the Americans. If they lose they can suck on this🖕🖕🖕🖕. And if the swish win They can also suck on this 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕!!
Fuck you Canadians, us US fans wanted you guys to win so we could see a good ol' USA v Canada final but you guys are fucking dick bags to us Americans for no reason. Coming to the games just to chant against the US. Like fuck off. Respect the rivalry.
The north american teams, canada and usa are not hockey players, they dive like dolphins on caffeine. Sweden is the real deal, atleast the wikings (sweden) know how to play hockey. Since ice hockey is a sport based around Canada, Canada gets no penalties in the games, and we could clearly see that in the final game that just finished, they dive so fucking much. Canada has no real hockeyplayers.
Almost down to a person, the Swedes posting here insist that they lost because of referees, and dives. If you choose to believe that because it dulls the pain of losing, that's your privilege. The dose of reality, however, is that each penalty taken was deserved and was legitimate. Sweden played undisciplined as the penalties very clearly show. You just have to watch objectively, which seems hard to do for Sweden fans. Perhaps your lack of discipline is best demonstrated by your team Captain who threw his medal away. Another display of lack of discipline and character and mental toughness. Your defenseman stuck his leg and hip out and tripped up the Canadian player who did not have the puck. All you have to do to see it is watch the game with an objective eye. Take off your biased glasses and watch. Swedish fans, at least the ones posting here (I hope they are not all like this) are very poor sports. Period. That's the real tragedy not just for their players but all players. It's somewhat unusual to see poor winners and poor losers, but Sweden fan posts seem to boast of an entire contigent of both.
Glove hand problems. Sorry kid you aint going to the pros. This team was not good enough. That was the worst 3-0 I ve ever seen. That was the turning point. The Swedes did it right on the 2-1 making the pass.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Congrats to Sweden on the victory. Your team was better and deserved to win. Good luck in the final!
Shouldn't talk as much about the diving, focus more on the horrendous refs. They truly seemed bought.
3 on 0 for america… that's a sure goal- oh wait! they missed the net! oh wait! They get a goalie interference penalty. Quick turn of events eh?
Way to go Sweden! See you in the gold metal game. 🇨🇦🇨🇦👍
what's with the USA football jerseys?
Smell ya USA! 😪😂😂
🇸🇪🇸🇪✌🏻✌🏻
Victory tasted so good. Especially after that awful work by the referees.
When did USA start to fake as much as canada?
Hahaha that feels good! America and their fans suck!
The USA team was a big disgrace systematically trying to fake penalties. I do hope we never see this in hockey again. Shame on you USA!!!

Too sad that the American players were acting more like moviestars than hockeyplayers.

USA = Divers
Canada will beat Swedes 5-2… Trust me😂🇸🇪🇨🇦
Nice choke job Muricans! bahahahahahaha enjoy the losers game!
I wonder why there was so many empty seats. New York State has always been a hotspot for hockey in the USA. Tickets must have been crazy expensive.
US and A sent there Diving Squad, but it didn't help
Wow what happened to all the Americans bragging?

Tonight we do it!!!!! Go Sweden!!!!

Sit down usa
selfish 3 on 0 at 1:10 🙁
It doesn't matter wich teams play, half of the viewers will be canadian, eh?
This US team was scary good but just didn't compete enough. I had them as the favourites to win
Were there really no USA fans in Buffalo? Just pathetic.
