Sweden all over Canada looking like the Bruins in their own end.

Big PP for Canada here.....

 

[RoccoF14]

Possible 5min Major on Sweeden under review.....possibly to be downgraded to a 2min.

TBH, I didn't even think it was a penalty to begin with.....Unfortunate Beck got hurt, but there's nothing wrong with that hit.

Refs called no penalty after review. Good.

 

[RoccoF14]

Impressive win for the Sweedes.

Que the overreaction, north of the border........

 

[James Walker]

Latvia has been shut out 4 times in a row, giving up 20 goals total!

Latvia has played 3 games, their 4th attempt at being shut out will have to wait until tomorrow.

not from this guy, Sweden has a ton of kids back from last year and IMO, should be considered the tournie fav`s.

What I don`t/didn`t like was TC`s coach shortening the bench almost from the start of the game. Matthew Wood likely played under 5 mins for the whole game, a few others wouldn`t have broken a sweat either with lack of ice time. I get shortening the bench, I don`t get that being the starting point

Team Sweden is a tremendous talent

Sweden has 3 straight wins by shutout.

Finland is now in danger of finishing last in their group

Two of his assists came from plays where he scrambled the puck from his opponent and passed it for a nice breakaway. Nice pattern.

USA rolling against Slovakia, it was 3-2 halfway through, now it's 8-2.

10-2.

Czechia and Switzerland tied at 2 early in the third on NHLN.

Man I thought Jack was a homer. He has nothing on these Canadian broadcasters.

no kidding, thats a penalty in the NHL, it was all head.

 

[neelynugs]

nice to see poitras is ok. he took a very heavy hit on the wall (to the head) when he tried
to pull up. we've seen it a bunch in boston too.

edit: damn...he just went into the wall again

He does that turn to the wall with the defender on him a lot, idk if he’s trying to draw a call from it or is just trying to protect the puck. It’s getting him plastered quite a bit though.

One thing I noticed about him is he does not get rid of pucks enough to free himself to get open space.He wants to lug it till he can find beauty setups and ends up taking big hits.

He has somewhat the right idea. There is a time to turn and a time not to turn. He seems to not figure that out 100% yet. He also 100% needs to get stronger, and he will. Pasta was pushed around like he was paper when he first came into the league. He needed his time to develop man strength.

I think the larger ice is messing with him. Oddly enough, he seems safer doing that cutback move in the NHL against bigger guys. I think it's because he has a better sense of safe distance from the boards on the smaller ice so he's able to take those hits and brace himself well for them.

Really impressed to see him right back up and on the first PP shift after both of the boarding calls today. He's been awesome.

Canada has a couple big boys on that backend

At least we don't have to hear them saying "it's the coin that won't toss" dumbest thing ever heard from a PBP guy.

Suomi in OT, end-to-end, after Slovakia had equalized with 44 seconds left.
