GDT: 2018 WJC • Game 27 • SF1: SWE (4) - USA (2) F

[Kyndig]

USA controlled the play in the 1st and most of the 2nd but ultimately choked the game away.

 

[The List Of Jericho]

Dahlin isn't gonna win any beauty contests any time soon

 

[wonton15]

No Pettersson? Interesting

 

[Fabs]

Was a good late effort by the US to put themselves in a position to even have a chance down 4-0 with 10 left, but just too big a hole.

 

[Critical13]

No Peterssen?

 

[TheTwelfth]

Wait, did Alex Nylander just get named one of the 3 best Swedish player in the tournament over Pettersson?!?

 

[Jersey Fresh]

This page is literally why these game day threads are trash

There's nothing more WJC than Canadian fans whining en masse in a US/SWE thread.

 

[Snippit]

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

I didn't get that vibe at all.

Mittelstadt has been the best player in the tournament for me.

 

[smurfyeah19]

Actually think a Sweden-Canada final is going to be a hell of a game. Those were NHL level shots and discipline that the Swedes showed tonight

 

[bottomofthefoodchain]

So that justifies slashing another player in the knee?

It was not that bad. Im pretty sure he is playing tomorrow.

 

[islesfan3913]

Way to stay classy Canadian fans. Saying a dirty slash was deserved.

Axel Jonsson Fjällby looks amazing playing vs North American teams, the guy is made for the NHL. The intensity, the hard physical work and the speed. The Capitals 147th overall pick in the 2016 NHL draft, are you kidding me?

 

[jvcjdudu jcycyxjene]

Congrats Sweden! Makes it easier losing to a country I like.

 

[Tomas W]

Great job Sweden! Less great job refs.

 

[JT Kreider]

I feel Buffalo is also the worst possible place for him to go to. Unless they get their shit together real quick

 

[OregonCanuck]

Pettersson robbed of an award

 

[ulvvf]

Hope Yamamoto is ok.

I think the win is fair, 4-0 would not have represent the game but 4-2 seems pretty fair.

Elias Pettersson should have been in that trio.

 

[Icebreakers]

Dahlin isn't gonna win any beauty contests any time soon

?? Hes the biggest beauty in the draft.

 

[Merya]

Yamamoto looked like he had the air blown out of him. What happened? I only saw a semi-dirty slash.

 

[TMLeafs18]

Poorly ref'd game all around. Team US was spoon fed a comeback all third period. Good win for Sweden.

 

[BigBadBoar]

Sweden certainly deserved this, but I am also impressed by the U.S. pressure during the final minutes. In the first half of the 3rd, they looked completely rid of fuel, they were literally not able to skate properly, allowed three goals. Then, one Swedish foul (a stupid one, needed to say), a PP goal, and suddenly, it was only the US all over the ice. If they just capitalized on some of their scoring chances some minute or two to the end, there would be really insane dying seconds. It's a little bit pity for me as a "neutral" hockey fan in this game, because that would definitely be exciting to watch.
But overall, Sweden deserved to win. Since roughly the half of the 2nd, they were significantly the more dangerous team, except for that last 7-8 minutes. I expected a fun hockey and this was some great game to watch.

 

[Master P]

At least we get to see USA vs Canada play for bronze. That way Tsn gets their USA vs Canada game.

 

[HanSolo]

Dahlin isn't gonna win any beauty contests any time soon

Okay...

 

[Tomas W]

Jonsson Fjällby elite PKer!

 

[nucks88]

Ferraro has had a clear bias towards the Americans tonight. It's been really odd to listen too.

Not surprising married to Cammi Granato and brother in law to Tony Granato. It is what it is but really seemed too amped up on the Americans....happy wife, happy life I guess
