Hungary did not score in two periods
The big favorites against Hungary.
Then Tre Kronor had the edge, winning 7-1 and Hungary not having a shot on goal in two periods.
– Zero shots (!) In two periods, I’ve never experienced that before, says SVT expert Jonas Andersson in the broadcast.
Tre Kronor got his dream start against Hungary when Oscar Lindberg made it 1-0 after a minute and a half.
However, Hungary, clearly vulnerable to defeat, fought well. Admittedly, Tre Kronor led 3-1, but the Hungarians got nine shots on Jesper Walstedt in the first period.
But then, it took more than half the match before they started shooting. literally.
Tre Kronor was outright in the second half winning his shooting stats with a score of 19-0 and went away to a 6-1 lead.
“You’ve never experienced anything like it.”
This path continued in the third period.
Sweden beat Hungary and also scored 7-1 after Leo Karlsson created space for himself and served Lukas Raymond for the latter’s first goal of the tournament.
And for Hungary, the offensive proceeded at a complete standstill.
– It must be on the way to some kind of recording. So they had no shots on target in the second and none in the third with 7.25 remaining. I’ve never experienced anything like this, says Chris Harnstam, SVT commentator on broadcast.
51-9 in shots
The Hungarians did not score a single shot on target in the last period and Sweden won the shot tally 51-9.
– Total domination of Sweden. Statistics don’t lie. Zero shots (!) in two periods, I’ve never experienced that before, says expert Jonas Andersson.
The 7-1 win means Tre Kronor has four wins, three of them after full time, in four matches. Sweden’s next match is against France on Saturday.
