GDT: 4 NATIONS FACE-OFF

[NHL1674]

He'll eat anything and everything. He might even eat you.

Not touching this........

Okay, so Binnington is starting tonight. I will bite the bullet and cheer for any Tkachuk that can trigger him into a tantrum.

Zibanejad goes five hole, Sweden 1-0

Finland makes it 1-1, also five hole. Gus too slow to slide over. Very nice goal by Lundell.

 

[Sweetnut]

Shots 4-2 Sweden.
Sweden with 5 giveaways, Finland with 2 takeaways. Sweden need to fix this, otherwise Finland's fast skaters gonna have a field day on poor Gus.

Gus bro…

 

[Sweetnut]

Hedman fumbles the puck around his skates, doesn't find it and trips Aho instead.
Finland gets a late PP with 26 seconds remaining and scores 12 seconds later.
Finland 2-1

 

[NHL1674]

Haven't been able to watch till now. Is it Good Gus or Bad Gus today?

 

[NHL1674]

Gus got pulled.

 

[Sweetnut]

Goalie change for Sweden. Gus out, Ullmark in.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

2nd goal looked like a weird change up.

 

[Sweetnut]

Haven't been able to watch till now. Is it Good Gus or Bad Gus today?

Hard to say. He has 2 saves on 4 shots, but it was a 2 on 1 and a PP goal.
I think the swedish D-men let him out to dry.

 

[NHL1674]

Nice pass, Ek!!!

That double entendre was wild

I see we are making progress on liking the Tkachuks?

 

[Sweetnut]

Rasmus Dahlin shovels the puck down low in the crease, after Ek made a WILD one hand pass just beside him. What a nice assist for the Wild captain!

 

[DigitalBoldy]

So we are cheering for Sweden?

 

[Sweetnut]

Gus got pulled.

Yeah, the swedish coach doesn't shy away from making changes. That is something you rarely see in the NHL.

So we are cheering for Sweden?

Why would we do such a thing?

 

[DigitalBoldy]

Why would we do such a thing?

I kinda like cheering for the under dog when it isn’t my country. That would be Finland IMO

Ek father!

 

[Sweetnut]

Erik Karlsson makes it 3-2 for Sweden on the rush. Nice dish by William Nylander.

What do you mean? Half of the lumberjacks in Wisconsin is probably of Swedish heritage, which most likely makes you half swedish.....

 

[NHL1674]

I'm cheering for Wild players, so Go Sweden!

 

[Sweetnut]

Kaapo Kakko scores for Finland, makes it 3-3.
The crease got crowded, four skaters fighting for position in there and Kakko got his stick on the puck on a messy play. Don't see that type of goal very often

lol!! I’m mostly German, but I believe the next largest chunk is either Swiss or Swedish. I can never remember which “S” country it is.

 

[Sweetnut]

Or was it maybe Barkov who scored? Didn't see exactly, there was four sticks in the area.

 

[Sweetnut]

Shots 15-14 Sweden.
11 giveaways for Sweden, 6 takeaways for Finland. Poor puck management for the swedes, makes me think Finland wins this in the end.

 

[Sweetnut]

Beer line with another good O-zone shift, ends with Ek getting the puck off a finninsh giveaway and he shoots it, but no goal.

 

[NHL1674]

Give me a Brodin or Ek goal, please!
