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

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

Lol sums up my experience on HFBoards for the WJC so far. I can't imagine what it was like when Rielly and Marner were in the tournament.

 

[Canadian Finn]

Liljegren has been pretty good.

Too bad now that he's a Leaf people look at him with the typical Anti-Leaf bias.

 

[DDRhockey]

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

Dahlin has been way better

 

[kudymen]

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

Not a stand-out but definitely not bad.

Agreed

Pretty standard for HF when it comes to a certain teams prospects. I thought he was good, not great, but good.

Bob Mac is of course going to say that. He’s catering to their biggest audience.

On the flip side, this thread is also over the top

 

[Healthy DiPietro]

Timuth has been awful, always 2nd on the puck.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Now you know why there has been so much talk about the Swedish coach in the Sweden thread. The guy makes lines that that are just weird.

 

[Matte99]

Nylander look awful. So slow... and floating when he doesn't have the puck. Must be worrying for Saber fans to see.

He’s been alright, like to seem him get more organized in his end.

Tolvanen played 23 min for finland while pettersson barely is playing

 

[Critical13]

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

He really hasn't...chasing him around the DZone is his job, he's playing man-to-man defence against Zadina...

I guess this coach doesn't like juggling the lines at all when they don't work. Stubborn persistence for combinations that don't work

 

[gretskidoo]

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

Playing your 4th line center with your best wingers on ES isn't the best idea, as anyone with a brain can see. Hopefully Monten grows one before the next period/game.

 

[Phil McKraken]

Tolvanen played 23 min for finland while pettersson barely is playing

Pretty sure he's resting Pettersson to be on the safe side. Better to lose this game and have a healthy Pettersson in the elimination games.

 

[Zybalto]

Enough of those other guys, It's Brannstrom who needs to step it up in the 3rd.

He's been uncharacteristically iffy on both sides of the puck today.

I predict he engineers a goal in the third.

 

[ChazzMichaelMichaels]

Timuth has been awful, always 2nd on the puck.

I know you and TieDomi don’t like him as a player. I disagree and think he’s been decent to good.

 

[ulvvf]

Nylander look awful. So slow... and floating when he doesn't have the puck. Must be worrying for Saber fans to see.

But he still put up the points (at least in wjc), have to admire that.

 

[Dr Pepper]

What's the deal with that kid getting shot at during warmups?

 

[Ori]

The Nucks fans are probably happy to see Elias Petterson take a Zucc wrist shoot! 2-0!

Hållander and elvenes home while picking grinders instead

Wonder why they pair him and Dahlin up, the two of them are sure fire pressure relief, kinda think that’d be a great asset to have on two different pairings.

 

[Snippit]

Swedish offense at ES is truly nothing special IMO

Surprising given some of the names they have up there.

 

[Canada Drai]

Dahlin has been way better

Well I would hope so considering he plays vs men and is dubbed as the next Karlsson.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I'm a huge fan of this Czech team
