 1993 World Junior Hockey Championships, December 29:
 ====================================================

 SWEDEN - CZECHOSLOVAKIA 7-2 (3-1,2-1,2-0)

 Peter Forsberg had four assists and Markus Naslund had one goal and three
 assists as Sweden beat a rather weak Czechoslovakian team.

 The Swedes got a good start. Niclas Sundblad was trying to get the puck
 in front of the Czechoslovakian goal, but he was tied up by two Czechs
 and they all missed the puck, behind skated Fredrik Lindqvist and from 
 close range could score 1-0.
 1st - SWE 1-0 Fredrik Lindqvist 2 (Mats Lindgren)		      1:02

 The Swedes increased their lead on a power play and it was the superline
 Forsberg-Naslund-Sundstrom that scored. It was a copy of the goal scored
 against Canada the other night, Forsberg behind the goal, passed the puck to
 Sundstrom in the slot, one-timer, 2-0.
       SWE 2-0 Niklas Sundstrom 3  (Peter Forsberg,Markus Naslund)    9:30 (pp)

 Reine Rauhala, new player since the first two games, scored the 3-0 goal.
 Magnus Wernblom worked hard behind the Czechoslovakian goal, shook of a 
 defenseman, rounded the goal, and tried to put it by the near post.
 The rebound went to Rauhala who had the empty net.
       SWE 3-0 Reine Rauhala 1	   (Magnus Wernblom,Andreas Johansson) 11:00

 The Czechoslovakian goalie, Pavel Malac, had at this point had enough.
 He was substituted by backup goalie Igor Murin.

 The Czechoslovakians reduced the lead when Burda shot from the blue line,
 Ronnqvist left a rebound that Nemcicky could volley the puck into the net.
       CZE 3-1 Tomas Nemcicky 2	   (Vaclav Burda)		     18:23 (pp)

 Another power play goal form the Swedish first line was scored after
 only 27 seconds of the 2nd period. It was a 5on3 power play, and again
 Forsberg found Sundstrom straight in front of the goal.
 2nd - SWE 4-1 Niklas Sundstrom 4  (Markus Naslund,Peter Forsberg)    0:27 (pp)

 Halfway through the game, a puck was sent from the Czechoslovakains
 down to goalie Ronnqvist, who skated out to clear the puck but failed
 and hit the Czechoslovakian forward, but his shot hit the post. Another
 Czech forward skated after and could put the rebound in the empty net.
       CZE 4-2 Roman Kadera 2	   (Kamil Kolacek)		      9:06

 An excellent power play resulted in another power play goal. It was
 1,5 minutes of constant passing that exhausted the Czechoslovakians.
 Daniel Johansson's slap shot from the blue line found its way into
 the net, after a lot of players screened goalie Murin.
       SWE 5-2 Daniel Johansson 1  (Peter Forsberg,Markus Naslund)   15:28 (pp)

 In the beginning of the last period, Andreas Johansson had a great shift.
 He carried the puck over the offensive blue, skated between the Czech-
 oslovakian defensemen, and when they tried to steal the puck, Andreas
 passed the puck to the left where Hans Jonsson scored the easy goal. 
 3rd - SWE 6-2 Hans Jonsson 2	   (Fredrik Lindqvist,Andreas Johansson) 3:41

 Midway through the third, Markus Naslund got to score another goal also,
 which means a goal in every game by Markus in this WJHC. Peter Forsberg
 accelerated from the neutral zone, deked and skated around the Czech
 defensemen on the outside, when he reached the goal he made a no-look
 pass backwards to Markus, who one-timed the puck.
       SWE 7-2 Markus Naslund 3	   (Peter Forsberg)		      9:30

 Penalties: Sweden 10*2min, Czechoslovakia 8*2min

 Sweden got a lot of time in box play, but they killed those excellently.
 Contrary from the game vs Canada, this game had a very good referee,
 Seppo Makela from Finland.

 The Czechoslovakians' best player was David Vyborny, a rather small but
 very skilled center. It seems like the Czechoslovakians are 
 suffering from having many skilled junior players in North America.
