That is the funniest thing i have ever heard lol lol Mcdavid is already better than him and Mcdavid is younger. And the fact you compare this guy to Gretzky in any way at all is even funnier. I don't think any general manager in the league would pick johnny over Mcdavid lol

Chill? He said johnny HAS BEEN the best player on the team, not IS. And i fully agree with him.

Perhaps you are joking but I fully agree

We (Swedes) are so ****ing laid back and relaxed we need somebody like Keenan.

We need tough coaches.

Sweden has really bad coaching. They need Mike Keenan

He's been the best forward on the team, he is constantly creating offense. He slips in and out of coverage so incredibly well. His hockey sense is off the charts, closest thing we will see to a Gretzky like player in this era.

In terms of style, sure. In terms of impact? Not a chance.

Gretzky will never be a good comparison stylistically for McDavid, just like Crosby won't either because their games are all so much different.

I think McDavid has been the best player on his team.

Rielly isn't nearly as good on the PP.

Yet the PP greatly improves whenever he comes on. Gostisbehere has been useless.

Yup. The penalty on Söderberg for going to the crease is a big fat joke. No way that is called in a Canada - USA game. He didn't even hit him, he just went to the crease and the NA defender lost his balance, crashing into Gibson.

That's a penalty, apparently. That's weak as hell.

Nope. Swedish players don't like marine sergeants screaming out in the open how they should do better. They already know that. They want actual leadership and actual instructions.

But but.. testosterone, screaming and violence always works?

RUS and NA played back to back games.

Your post only mentioned Finland's and Russia's games against Sweden.

 

[Breakers]

Sweden is definitely tired from yesterdays game.
