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

[ijuka]

Swedish PP looked pretty awful.

 

[Slimmy]

Bäckis is so good out there

 

[Nordic*]

Both powerplays have been equally bad.

 

[Willy Stylez]

Why are the russians shoving players into their goalie?

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

Did you see that pass from Karlsson?

He has no nerves.

That was ridiculous. Hooked it between the Russians leg no look tape to tape while facing pressure

 

[Novak Djokovic]

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

He does so many things well in the defensive zone but are ignored because he doesn't play a "rugged" game. It does result in tunrovers occasionally, but 95% of the time, it's a seamless and quick breakout.

 

[hi]

I am going to have nightmares about Barry Melrose's laugh

 

[Six Assets]

Sedins are so selfish on the PP

 

[snipes]

This game is so much better than the USA v Europe game.

I'm enjoying this one, good pace and physicality.

 

[Sorey*]

Looks like a game no team want to lose

 

[RobertR]

what the heck are they talking about..

Znarok loves Ovechkin.

 

[Six Assets]

"Pride of the entire nation" and they show Subban loool

 

[LiveeviL]

Your Marklar is true and wise

 

[MMANumminen]

Supporting Russija because I've made bet
Russia
Finland
Jokerit

 

[Nordic*]

That was ridiculous. Hooked it between the Russians leg no look tape to tape while facing pressure

Behind (kind of) his own goal to the front of the goal no less, haha...

No other player does that.

 

[TheTechNoir]

Shake my hand

 

[quat]

Both teams are playing hard ... great to see

 

[helax]

Sweden has playing better than I'd expected. Speed and physical presents

 

[Willy Stylez]

Sedins give and go is so beautiful.

 

[quat]

Sedins with a couple of solid scoring chances with some great board play

 

[MMANumminen]

These new sticks are weak. A wooden Koho would not have been broken

 

[LiveeviL]

Sedins at the boards, vintage. It will pay off when the whistle blows.

 

[joe89]

Many more lines showing life in that period compared to exhibition. Not enough attacks that end with a SOG.

 

[snipes]

Good period, that was fast and physical hockey.

 

[Longbow]

The Swedes have been really impressive at the boards, quite nice to see. Haven't seen it translate into any truly dangerous chances, but at least we have the upperhand in both zones.
