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

Ovechkin and Malkin are good magicians. They never forget their tricks, especially the ones from Sochi.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Don't know about that, I get nervous every time OV touches the puck.

OV can score on the PP, but he didn't even come out for some reason in Russia's 1st one.

Hitting ppl stronger and bigger is part of failure, which has been displayed so far in this case. Love Hedman lay down on Ovi though.

You expect him to not play his physical style of game and cower away. Ovi has the ability to crush anyone he's like 6'3 240 and fast. If you don't keep your guard up he'll crush you.

 

[Slimmy]

Slow and boring so far, i just hope someone will score soon so the match can get started...

You must have been really entertained last night, then

 

[WesMcCauley]

It seems like his linemates go for a change everytime he enters the offensive zone.

ofc they do. I would aswell. He never passes it back

I see what you mean now, sorry I thought you meant like not smart to be trying to hit.

Yeah, Hedman is awesome. Top 5 Dman in the league in my view.

 

[Baby Ryan]

Nice small defensive play by Karlsson to turn it over and bring the play back up instantly.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Finally something decent offensively from Dadonov.

 

[Six Assets]

Sweden's defence is so much better than Russia it's not even funny.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

I feel sorry for Bob out there. His team's not helping him.

 

[WesMcCauley]

I seriously think Landeskog could become an elite winger if Col figures it out or if he gets traded to a better team. He is strong as hell on the puck, great playmaker, pretty good shot and solid both ways. He always impresses me but he just havent been able to take it to the next level yet. Still young so might happen, he has all the tools to do it

Ovi is good at it, yes, but need to.be a lot smarter given his great experience.

Haha, actually yes... But than again i only saw the first period and then i went to bed, we went into the match 120% so we were only able to keep up for 10 minutes , was an exciting 10 minutes nonetheless.

 

[snipes]

Pretty good "Russ-si-ya" chant going.

How many Russians made the trek over?

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Kulemin is one of the only forwards playing for Russia.

There are a lot of Russians in Toronto .

 

[Paxton Fettel]

This is getting more and more embarrassing ... this is not a world cup level game

 

[Dris]

Becherovska plays miracles

 

[Fantomas]

Marchenko seems to be playing a lot and he's just not ready for this level.

 

[Rodzilla]

Nice small defensive play by Karlsson to turn it over and bring the play back up instantly.

Aside from the little mistakes in front of his net I think he is having a solid game, couple nice hits separating players from the puck imo.

 

[illpucks]

boring game

 

[snipes]

There are a lot of Russians in Toronto .

True.

They usually travel pretty well, I've met a few Russians at various WJC events. Always fun to talk hockey with people from different nations.

 

[johnny_rudeboy]

Not saying the game is boring, it is far from. But a goal will open up things.

 

[Slimmy]

Karlsson the best skater out there. Such a beaut.

 

[Rebels57]

Markstroms chest protector is completely ludicrous.
