[Calicaps]

That kid looked legit, injured. Slash in the knee, who knows what could've happened.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Good job Sweden. Deserved the win.

Hope Sweden wins Gold.

This page is literally why these game day threads are trash

How so?

I understan Steen being frustrated after seeing his teammates getting sent to to box because of diving the entire 3rd.

 

[Dump Itch]

USA got rekt. lol

 

[Farnham4top6]

He didn't touch him? Are you blind? Do you need me to replay it and take a picture of it for you where his hand clearly is on him?

He embellished the contact dont get me wrong. But it's a penalty every day of the week.

They had a slowmotion replay on swedish tv that showed that he acted one is own, .

 

[Advanced stats]

Is this considered an upset based on pre-tournament thoughts?

Not even the biggest upset for the American team this year.

Checks over Finland in the quarter finals is also a much bigger upset.

 

[John Agar]

Its the TSN bias. They want the Can-US final bad.

I don't think the TSN crew and management give a rats ass about the US....

TSN viewers I know all thought Sweden would be the real test...

Now we just need to do the job tonight and get to the final...

 

[JAS 39 Gripen]

That was a bad slash, real bad. FYI, I cant stand the swedish fans that calls Yamamoto out right there, echoing the REALLY BAD swedish commentator. Shows how weak-minded you guys are.

 

[Snippit]

A what watch

 

[JT Kreider]

Sweden is going to steamroll Canada as well

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

A devastating slash...on the pad.

If you find yourself calling for a suspension on that, it's your frustration talking. He milked it. That's fine, but have some dignity for goodness sake. It was a two minute slash and the kid did a flop. No worries either way, it happens.

 

[TimeZone]

Good win for Sweden, not what I predicted.

Pretty slow-paced game and not that high quality though.

Think this result favours Canada. I like how we match up.

Don't think so. Canada wasn't able to utilize their speed-game in that outdoor mess, Sweden outskated USA pretty good tonight. Definitely would've preferred to play the Americans, but providing we get by the Czech's we've got ourselves a tougher match-up imo.

 

[Master P]

I understan Steen being frustrated after seeing his teammates getting sent to to box because of diving the entire 3rd.

So that justifies slashing another player in the knee?

 

[Hemsky001]

Congrats team Sweden! I don't really think we'll join you but you never know.

 

[Chimpradamus]

I see the refs are being unfair talk is hitting it's expected high now.


wash,rinse,repeat.

Yeah and the complainers are in favour of the team that won. Then you have an issue. 95% of the time it's the losing team complaining. US got very weak calls in their favour, especially considering what wasn't called in the other end of the ice for the half of the game. It didn't help that the US players fell like movie starsalot of the time when there was contact.

The slash at the end was a message, maybe? Now THAT is a penalty where you don't dive.

 

[vippe]

Missed the slash? What happend? Looked like it hurt bad, hopefully it's not bad for Yamamoto.

Other than that, it's been a gongshow in the third period. What the heck has the refs been up to? Such dives.

 

[HanSolo]

I need a different and closer look but that was a pathetic sell job by Yamamoto based on what I did see. I never thought I'd be happy to see a USA hockey loss but I witnessed some truly pathetic stuff from our boys and I'm glad to see them lose. This isn't soccer.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Sweden-Canada should be a really good game, Sweden's defense and goaltending are obviously great and I'd be really curious to see if they can slow down Canada's amazing forward depth. It should be a great game to watch. I think Sweden having a lot of professional players, whether it be AHLers or SHLers, may be a big factor in the gold medal game.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

IMO USA , SWE and CA are all pretty evenly matched.. US missed their chance to get on the board early and Sweden got stronger as the game went on.. obviously the 2 sh goals on 1 pp were the difference.

 

[DDRhockey]

Bye bye USA

 

[jbobell98]

I feel like Middlstadt is gonna be one hell of a bust. Feels very selfish and lazy not the type of guy to putting in work to improve

 

[Canucks LB]

Lmao ep snub

 

[Acetylene]

Good overall performance by the Swedes, I’m happy.

 

[petrishriekandgo]

Nylander???? Really?
