It was almost 30 degrees outside the BCF Arena in Fribourg when Sweden won the fateful match against Slovakia.
It's incredibly hot outside, especially with the great weather around the ice rink. It affects how warm it is in here too. You must have been drinking a lot of fluids today.
How much weight do you lose in a match like this?
At least five kilos, anyway. I drink a bottle per period and I drink a lot between periods too, and still lose five kilos.
Hellberg and Arvid Söderblom, of Chicago, had each been in goal for three games before the group-stage match against Slovakia. Now Hellberg had to play.
I'm incredibly grateful to be trusted in such an important match.
