Love seeing the Yanks lose

 

[Statsy]

Meh, isnt like all of Elias points on the PP? Fjällby has been better 5vs5, and I think his game brings more in this tourny (not in the future). I'm not just counting points bruh

Yes, and last time I checked, goals on the powerplay count the same. There is no question Fjallby is a good player that had a strong tournament, but if the coach thought he was the better guy to get the job done (scoring goals, I mean), it would have been Fjallby on the PP instead of Pettersson. It wasn't.

 

[antiqueslivers]

ahaha bickering Canadian and US fans. I mean is there anymore truer example of brotherhood

You only really cheer against the ones you feel are a threat or in other words on the same level.

As a Canadian playing the US is always a nail biter. Same goes for playing Russia, Finland and Sweden or Czech Rep.

 

[maacoshark]

I'll generalize again here. The Canadian players would have preferred the US to win, as would the Canadian fans of the junior tournament.

Why do you s?ay that

Not on small ice... 0-16

I was under the impression that USA and Sweden were both viewed as the favorites. Only one can move on.

So was I.....but according to the American fans on this forums they were unbeatable......unless your Slovakia or Sweden of course

The USA and Canada have a bigger rivalry. Its always a fast paced chipy game between the two teams and plus we want revenge for last years lost.

Well, Fjallby surprised a lot of people, I can tell you that but maybe he is one of these European players who will thrive playing in North America/NHL. He was was truly enjoying himself, the pace and the physical play, lifting himself to a much higher level when it matters the most, very gritty player, looking like a future winner to me.

Not true of all the US fans.

I'm a Canadian and I prefer the better team gets there and that is Sweden. We aren't there yet. We still have to win our game.

Not all....but quite a few.

Especially after the Canada game

Hopefully he pans out in the NHL.

Half an hour till next game?

 

[John Agar]

"Hyvää yötä" you mean?

You were alluding to the Czech Republic in the last post...

Yes, Good night to you...

Come join us on the Jets GDT's one early morning...

Kippis...

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Half an hour till next game?

Yes. 8pm start on the freezing coast.

 

[John Agar]

Yes. 8pm start on the freezing coast.

Freezing continent... Al Gore.... Lol....

USA owned about 2/3 of the game but Gustavsson was amazing and we (Sweden) capitalized on almost all our chances, super efficient.

This is just wrong Sweden outworked, outlasted and outplayed the U.S today. There is no other way around it.

 

[Back in Black]

Wow, I'm still in shock that USA lost!!!!!!

GO CANADA GO

 

[Mr Salming]

I like the new boards even though my account since 2014 was terminated!

Great game from team Sweden unless you count the last 10 minutes.

Didn't like the flopping from team USA and the naive refs calling it a penalty every time. Must be tempting to dive when it gets you an PP every time.

We need better rebound-control and more possession against Canada in the final, but we go in to the final as solid underdogs.

Underdog? how so?

Heck, you don't even know who you are playing yet.

I really wish TSN would stop pushing this narrative of how great Carter Hart is.

He really hasn't proved anything here yet other then that it is a given he is our starter.

I mean he has been very good. Not exactly sure what you expect from the kid lol half the goals he has given up have been like double deflections. Not to mention that half his games he basically isn't facing any shots at all.

 

[DoubleGold]

Congratulations Sweden! The better team won.

 

[Loffer]

Ain't this great! As I envisioned, the Swedish tactical acumen and high skill combo was too much to the cool Yanks crushing them quite neatly in the third and it will lead the Swedes to the first WJC Gold since 2012. Canada (or the Czechs) will be just pushovers when the Fate lands her hand on the golden haired favour boys of Sverige.


Congrats, Team Sweden.
