Should've been a penalty shot

No doubt

 

[Smeagoal]

I'm liking this Zaitsev on D. Anyone who watches him more closely have any info on him?

Also that Sweden first line is deadly.

 

[Fried Tree Sap]

Russia is really pushing their luck here

Should have been a penalty shot. Oh well

 

[Irishguy42]

Should've been a penalty shot

Don't IIHF rules state that if the player gets a shot off, it's not a PS? Elias got a shot off.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

PP looking better but still no score

 

[cc]

Very stationary powerplay

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

That was a close one.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Very stationary powerplay

All of the Swedes PPs this period have just been a bunch of guys standing around.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Good time out

 

[Chimpradamus]

The Russian goalie has been very solid, but the shots have been nothing to write home about. Bad quality, bad screens.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

0 shots for Russia through the period but on a PP now.

 

[mjlee]

Seriously this is starting to look like all the tin foil 'need to lose' shit that's been going on in the Swedish media.

 

[542365]

Sweden got away with some interference there.

 

[KrejciMVP]

GO Russia!

 

[Chimpradamus]

Sweden got away with some interference there.

Not as many as Russia.

Swedish shots in prime scoring areas so far: Wide, wide, wide, wide, wide, wide, pads, pads, wide, wide. Except for Dahlin's shot where the Russian goalie made a great save.

Seriously this is starting to look like all the tin foil 'need to lose' **** that's been going on in the Swedish media.

Huh, why would they need to lose? Would have been understandable if the USA finished 4th in their pool. But they absolutely want to win now that it would mean facing Slovakia.

Just to get that streak off their back? Sacrificing a QF against Slovakia for that would be dumb.

 

[Ori]

yeah, the puck need to go quicker on that PP.

 

[542365]

Not as many as Russia.

Just talking one play in particular. Russian Dman got drilled like 2 seconds after getting rid of the puck.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Are those Russians wearing Wolverines on their heads?

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Is Nylander drunk or something

 

[Chimpradamus]

Is Nylander drunk or something

He has looked like this the entire tournament. He has really caught a rut, probably because he has barely played any games this season. He has still cashed in the points though.

Yeah he made some nice plays but most of time it's like he's not paying attention to players around him

 

[Phil McKraken]

Too much stationary passing, we need to stop that and just go for rebounds.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

I’ll bet those hats are itchy.
