GDT: 9/18/16 - Sweden Vs Russia - 3PM ET

[Willy Stylez]

Erik Karlsson "doesnt hit"

 

[Longbow]

Quite nervous about this box play, but otherwise I feel okay about the opening. Both teams have been quite restrained, but Sweden's looked on top tactically.

This might come back to bite me, but I'm not worried about Markstrom at all. The Russian forwards is another matter.

 

[hockeykicker]

Any streams available for this?

espn3

dont know if that works outside america

 

[Ezekial]

I was watching on WatchESPN, but they didn't have commentators. While I know that's ideal for some I had to put it on my TV that's hooked up to the cable box. I can't watch sports like that.

 

[Nordic*]

Powerplay Russia.

This will be scary.

 

[Slimmy]

Karlsson has a hugely underrated physical game

 

[Nordic*]

Well, it at least looks like Sweden cares tonight.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Beauty hit by Karlsson.

 

[snipes]

Pretty good pace so far.

Ovi is playing well.

 

[Nordic*]

Did you see that pass from Karlsson?

He has no nerves.

 

[helax]

pp sweden!

 

[TCIH]

I'm liking this physicality. The players are into it.

 

[TMLeafer]

Fun game so far, heard the "RU-SSI-A" chants a few times already.

Also, Ivan Telegin is a pretty awesome name.

 

[Phil McKraken]

Landeskog playing good in Tre Kronor?

 

[Longbow]

Can we just take a moment and appreciate how much fun this is?

 

[Slimmy]

Did you see that pass from Karlsson?

He has no nerves.

That one was so nice

 

[Get North]

Russians don't have a good coach. Ovechkin 2nd PP unit and the players look like they have no idea what to do out there. Defensively, they just stand around and don't put any pressure on the Swedish forwards.

 

[CanadaIsIrrelevant]

Really dislike the "dynamic ads" on the boards.

 

[BackToTheBasics]

Orlov is horrible.

 

[EK47]

Landeskog playing good in Tre Kronor?

I expected him to in the wcoh due to the small ice surface he's a completeley different player on NA ice.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Ovechkin cross check to Backstrom after the hit. No mercy for team mate.

 

[Fragmuffin]

ANyone noticed how well Kralsson delt with 3 guys pressuring in the swedish zone down low and sprung a play that led to the Sedin chance?

no... didnt think so

but hey... he only puts up points, sucks at d

 

[Dris]

Bäckstrom and Fosberg playing quite well...

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Sweden's defense is easily the best group of the tournament. It's almost not fair

 

[EK47]

Not the right opponents fot the sedins
