I mean, unfortunately for Minnesota Wild fans, but fortunately for U.S.

fans, Philip Gustafson hasn't looked super great for Sweden.

And I'm assuming naturally that Sweden's going to probably get past Latva in that the U.S.

today against, let's start there first, most complete game I have seen them play yet in this tournament against Germany, who I think we were all in agreement with.

was going to be their toughest competition in this group, and you thought they should cruise through their earlier two games, and they kind of fell behind.

They looked off a little bit.

The scoring wasn't there until the third period when all of a sudden they were like, oh, yeah, we should do this and put this damn thing away.

They let teams hang around, whereas I thought they were very much in control against Germany today.

A ton of fun.

I think a lot of that goes to Connor Hellebuck, too.

Obviously, he is your guy.

I don't think there's any question about that.

Curious decision to go to Swayman yesterday.

I still don't understand that, but I'm pretty sure that confidently put a nail in that coffin because I don't need to see him again during the Olympics at all.

I really liked the U.S.

game, so it gives me a little more confidence.

I have been on the fence.

I've been very nervous.

I've been very worried.

mostly because I continue to watch Canada absolutely decimate their opponents and not even apologize for it, right?
