GDT: 2018 WJC • Game 09 • Group B: SWE (3) - CZE (1) F

[The Drop]

Liljegren is so bad

Maybe just a bad period or game.

While Swedish team looked bad in the second

 

[DDRhockey]

Damn, the Czechs are good.

They beat russia

 

[Chimpradamus]

Reichel was holding onto Liljegren's glove and dove.

Good job.

Exactly. Liljegren's arm shouldn't be around there anyway, but that was a grade A dive. The same guy that speared him in the nuts btw.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Game on ... hope they tie it up on the pp to start the 3rd

 

[Sojourn]

Part of the problem is that he was on the wrong side of the player.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Maybe just a bad period or game.

While Swedish team looked bad in the second

So far the only positives of this game are Dahlin, Jonsson, and Brannstorm. Pettersson's been okay but he looks tired. Liljegren and Nylander have been awful. Real defensively challenged team.

 

[EK47]

Holy hell that is the worst period of junior hockey I've seen Sweden play in a long time f***ing pathetic.

 

[thelittlecoon]

Liljegren is having an absolute stinker of a game

 

[BalticWarrior]

Gotta root for Czechs here, itll be a fun 3d period.

 

[KalmarKnights]

Montén's coaching

 

[firstemperor]

Czech's dominated that entire 2nd

Liljegren has been great this game, 1 penalty doesn't change that. Amazing pass, shutdown Zadina for 4 shifts in a row, moving the puck really well.

Let the hate flow through you.

 

[Lexus]

Pettersson's wrist shot is ridiculous.

 

[McClelland]

Sweden needs to change gear in the third, cant float if they want to win this game!

 

[Slimmy]

They beat russia

Didn't watch that game.

 

[DDRhockey]

Montén's coaching

First line is barely playing

 

[Sojourn]

I really don’t think he has been. He’s looked slow. Has been caught on the wrong side a few times. Wandering at other times.

I don’t have a whole lot of his game to compare, but he’s stood out more negatively to me.

Pettersson is also sick. So i can see that.

 

[Zybalto]

Was thinking that Sweden was up with Canada, USA and Finland as one of my favorites for gold but that period was pretty bad.

 

[ChazzMichaelMichaels]

Liljegren having a good game! Beautiful pass on that first goal, skating the puck often. Looking good Timmy!

 

[ChazzMichaelMichaels]

Bobby Mac “Been really impressed with Liljegren’s game”

This GDT: “Liljegren is absolutely horrible and can’t play hockey”

 

[DieTomi]

Liljegren has been great this game, 1 penalty doesn't change that. Amazing pass, shutdown Zadina for 4 shifts in a row, moving the puck really well.

Let the hate flow through you.

Chasing him around in the d zone isn’t shutting him down. He’s made a few good plays as Bob just showed but aside from that he’s looked behind the play when he doesn’t have the puck

 

[gretskidoo]

Montén's coaching

Might as well not have a coach since he's just standing there scratching his balls while his entire team decided to stop playing.

 

[novon04]

Bad coaching by Montén. Offensive face off with 40 seconds left of the period, Czechs have just scored a goal. Montén brings out the Pettersson line... with Lindström again at center. Lindström of course loses the face off and Sweden later get another penalty. I was 99 % sure he would bring out Andersson to try to create offensive pressure in the last minute..

 

[Snippit]

Liljegren has been fine I don't get what some of you are seeing lol.

Not a stand-out but definitely not bad.

The first and 2nd even strength lines for Sweden looks pretty disjointed for the most part. They are being saved by their powerplay. The line combos don't have much chemistry
