That Tre Kronor defeats Austria with 4–2 in a World Championship match creates 99 times out of 100 no greater reactions.
This time, the spherical Globe in Stockholm was about to roll away.
The jubilation and emotional storm had no limits after the release in the final forcing.
What seemed to become Sweden's first World Championship loss against Austria in 78 years ended with a spectacular turnaround.
Celebrated with the family
Mika Zibanejad, the New York Rangers star, made the 3–2 goal and celebrated pointing at his family, his wife Irma Helin Zibanejad, football expert at Max, and soon two-year-old daughter Ella.
To get to celebrate at home in Stockholm in front of family and friends means a lot.
It's clear that it becomes even more special when I get to do it at home and it's for the national team. It's a completely different sense for me as a player and surely for the family too, he says and continues:
It's always such an honor to get to wear this jersey and it's always so, forgive me, damn fun. It's hard to know what to expect from a home World Championship, but the support has been fantastic.
"Want so damn much"
Then it has anyway only just begun. Tre Kronor stands on two wins after two matches.
Then the game can get better.
We want so damn much, I think it shows sometimes in the game that we try to do a bit too much. But so be it. It's good that we get to go through it too. Hopefully, it will get better during the tournament, he says.
Nashville star Filip Forsberg praised Zibanejad who has made three goals in two World Championship matches.
Really cool, damn shot there in the end, it sat where it should, but we've seen him do it for almost 20 years. It's impressive, he says.
Forsberg never felt any worry and saw no fiasco ahead of him.
No, you in the media can underestimate Austria as much as you want, in our gang we don't. So professional are we. They have a damn will, but we match it. It's a skilled team, you can say what you want, he says.
