NHL star Forsberg gave his answer about playing the World Championship in Stockholm in May during Thursday evening.
It's going to be damn fun, especially in Sweden and get the chance to play in front of the Swedish people again. A World Championship on home soil is something you probably only get to experience once in your career. My family and I want to take the chance to win gold again, said Forsberg to Viaplay on X.
Provided nothing shows up on the medical examination in the coming days, it'll be so, said the 30-year-old.
Sweden has World Championship-loaded with double meetings with Finland in Frölundaborg in Gothenburg. On Thursday, Tre Kronor won 2–1, but on Good Friday, it was a Finnish 2–0 victory.
A good training week, says Sam Hallam after the loss.
Waltteri Merelä sent in the leading goal behind the blue-yellow goalkeeper Tim Juel 6.42 into the first period.
With just seven seconds left to play in the second act, Lassi Thomson set 2–0 in numerical superiority. A goal that became the last of the match.
There's a lot of fight. The guys are struggling and giving it their all, but we can't get the game going with the puck to create the chances we want to create, says Sam Hallam.
The teams meet again in Finland on April 24–25.
April 24–25: Double national team matches against Finland (Raumo and Tavastehus).
April 28–May 4: Czech Hockey Games (Kloten, Switzerland/Brno, Czech Republic).
