Don't think this OT is totally meaningless. Sweden doesn't wanna loose their 10 year unbeaten streak during group play. For Russia it's pretty meaningless.

I think it's a good opportunity to finally lose and get it over with.

 

[Mestaruus]

Yeah, they need to keep the streak alive.

As a Finn I'm kinda hoping SWE looses that streak now. Loose it on a meaningless OT would be funny.

I think it's a good opportunity to finally lose and get it over with.

Exactly. Well if I was a Swede like you I'd wanna keep it though lol.

 

[tictactoe]

Rubtsov... again with a below average game.

 

[Orca Smash]

Going with two D, strange coaching decisions this game.

Jeez liljegren

When you only have one gold in that period, the streak is just annoying

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Imagine losing a 43 game winning streak in a shootout

 

[jj cale]

Wild last couple of minutes...........whew!!

 

[Startseva]

Good game)

 

[Zybalto]

Both keepers should feel good after that OT heading into the medal round.

Yeah understandable. No one wants to have the stamp of playoff chokers and that's kinda what the record does now but this could be like a record for the ages that no one can break.

 

[JimboA]

Lias Andersson has left the game. Could be a shoulder injury from that hit behind the net...

Edit: Or maybe he sat on the bench, but he hasn't played since that hit.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Going with two D, strange coaching decisions this game.

Not when they are Dahlin and Brännström.

 

[Ori]

Any have status on Lias?

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Bad shot by Elias

 

[Mestaruus]

RUS goalie will win this I think.

 

[Scrantonicity 2]

Nylander looks.. bad

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Good win for Sweden

 

[Killahpunk]

44 and counting!

 

[Canada4Gold]

44 in a row

Wonder what kind of group they'll get next year. The past couple they've ben in the easier half. But this streak has to end sometime right?

 

[KalmarKnights]

The Streak™ is alive.

 

[kudla]

The streak will end next year looking at swedish 99s

 

[Fantomas]

This Russian team just sucks. End of story.

Boring robotic hockey. Not a single memorable creative play.

 

[Mestaruus]

On modern era that record will be hard to break.

 

[jj cale]

Russian goalie should have got their player of the game.
