GDT: 2024 WJC Games: GOLD - USA | SILVER - SWE | BRONZE - CZE | 4TH - FIN

[MarkovsKnee]

2-2 after 2. Tight, hard checking game. Swedes really started to own territory in Czechs end in the last 5 minutes though. They were getting a strong cycle game going.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Both goalies have had big, point blank saves to make in the 3rd.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Sweden getting their 1st PP. Big, crosscheck in the front of net.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Lekkerimaki on a one-timer from ASP.

3-2.

Puck goes in shortside. Hrabal late following the play. He's just not set at all. Hamara is blocking him out a bit.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Tomas Galvas looks like a pretty good 3rd round pick. Really good skater, good in transition, and pretty composed defensively for a 17 year old.

And just after I write that he gives the puck away. Ooops, sorry, kid.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

That should do it. Ostlund on a breakaway.

4-2.

Beautiful pass by Lindstein, who is having himself a hell of a tournament. Hrabal bites on a fake shot, Ostlund goes backhand, and scores just over Hrabal's glove.

7 Minutes left. Shots 12-2 Sweden in 3rd.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

5-2. Lekkerimaki. Geezus one-timer in the slot. Zero chance for Hrabal. Czechs breaking down. 2 goals in like 70 seconds for Sweden.

 

[Andrei79]

It's ok, there's still a chance for Czechia

 

[Habs 4 Life]

It's ok, there's still a chance for Czechia

yes, for the Bronze

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Czechs pull goalie with 2:35 left.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

That's it. Sweden wins 5-2. Complete domination by Sweden in 3rd. Czechs needed Hrabal to help steal the game for them & he wasn't up to it today.

A really good game by Sweden.

2 hours now til USA game.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Not a whole lot to like from Hrabal in this tournament.. he's been better than that in many other occasions so it doesn't mean anything.

Go Finland Go

 

[Adam Michaels]

Didn't watch the game. But how did the Czechs look? Does the score indicate the way the game went?

 

[Team_Spirit]

Habs legend Jonathan Lekkerimaki

Skip to 0:48

They didn't look very good.

really tight game first two periods, game was 2-2 going into the third and anybody's game, even.

They feel apart halfway through the third.

 

[HomaridII]

Augustine starts. Hope they lose now. Badly.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Augustine starts. Hope they lose now. Badly.

Just hope he lets in 3 softies early and then Hutson/Fowler lead them back from the abyss.

But I can't argue this decision. Fowler hasn't been better than Augustine in this tournament. He's better than him but this is a short tournament and all you have are the performances you put up with the team you have.

Who is better? Not sure i read you right.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Who is better? Not sure i read you right.

Fowler is the better goalie.

But Augustine has played better in this short tournament, so it's not a controversial decision by USA to put Augustine in today.

Based on NCAA wins?

 

[WeThreeKings]

Based on NCAA wins?

Based on being a goaltender.

You're the stat watcher bud, you already admitted to it. So fly away now.

Haha ok. Did watch world‘s thought. But not the Swiss league that much is true. Believe i missed last Rocket game.
USA coaches think differently.
NHL scouts too.
better in this tourney.

Homerism is dumb.
