It's never fun messing up a penalty shot. It's much worse when you do it in a high-pressure hockey game with a near global audience. Sweden's Victor Soderstrom stepped up to take a penalty shot with his team down 3-0 in the second period in their quarter-final game against Team US. The Coyotes first-round pick made some nice moves and appeared to have a very good chance of getting his team on the board when he, unfortunately, lost control of the puck . Check it out:

Soderstrom was not alone in his inability to score for Team Sweden. The US would go on to win the game 4-0. Sweden had a tough go in their first outing since losing to Russia 4-3 in overtime the previous night, giving the team it's first defeat in 54 straight round robin games at the World Juniors.
