Welp, turns out that Canada is a little better than Denmark.

Holmberg ( 29 ) and Sandin ( 8 ) are both on Sweden's second line/pair, so they'll be working together quite a bit.

Carlton's favoured child Erik Brannstrom opens the scoring.

Hate to say it, cause of national pride and whatnot, but I found the diving and embellishment from Comtois in both games disgraceful.

A close call but a win nevertheless.
Team Canada defeats Team Switzerland 3-2.

In reference to your post, yes there are others who share that viewpoint on Comtois, mainly his diving more than even his embellishments. So much so that it got the ire of Team Russia's Kim Kostin:
