PGT: 9/21 North America vs Sweden - North America wins 4-3 in OT but Sweden advances

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Hope we get an updated Simpsons meme from yesterday - replace USA's jersey with NA's, and NA's with Finland.

Can someone post possibilities of Russia-Finland game that effect overall standings?

Russia wins in any way- they advance.

Finland wins in any way- Team North America advances.

Basically, Russia is in a must-win scenario.

 

[penepi]

So what if Russia wins in Shootout?

They advance, since any win is a 2-pointer.

 

[Bigleaf]

A Canada loss followed by a Russia loss tomorrow too much to ask? All I wanted was a Team Canada-Team North America finals.

 

[Divine]

So what if Russia wins in Shootout?

There's no shootout

 

[Blitzago*]

LOL!!!! Nice joke.

Did you not watch the game? He made a key save as to why it wasnt an OTL.

 

[Canucks LB]

That was like a 3 minute shift

clueless

I know, just hilarious

 

[vippe]

Lundqvist got Sweden to the semifinals.

Definately. All 4 goals came from point blank or break away. Total breakdown by the swedish D this game. Should not happen.

 

[Muston Atthews]

Wow mackinnon undressed the King. Auston Matthews is tha gawd

 

[Firsov99]

They should change the format in the next World Cup. Three teams should advance from each group with an extra round of playoffs where the first seeds would get a bye.

Mac thought they were in. That's the proof in the pudding. They didn't know that they likely needed to win in regulation. Honestly someone has to figure that out in advance. Everyone here seemed to know. They should have been more desperate at the end of the 3rd but they were basically playing for OT.

 

[LeaferGeezer]

Lol at anyone saying the Sedins and Karlsson cost Sweden the game. It was obvious that nobody who stepped on the ice for Sweden during that overtime cared that much about it. They knew they advanced and that is all they cared about.

Karlsson was away in la la land on the OT winner and the Sedins couldn't score if their lives depended on it.

 

[Super Cake]

Sedins just suck at finishing, and Karlsson sucked at defense.

There is no ****ing defense when it comes to 3 v 3. Why haven't you realized this now?

 

[djdub]

I thought for sure it was NHL tiebreak rules: ROW and Goal Diff.

Are we sure its H2H?

Tie-Breaking Procedure
Tie Between Two Teams
If two teams are tied in points, the tie is broken by the result of the head-to-head game between the two tied teams.

Three- or Four-Way Tie
(Tie-breakers 1-4 calculated based on ALL games played):
ROW (Total of regulation and OT wins)
Regulation wins (Total of regulation wins only)
Goal Differential (Total Goals For minus total Goals Against in all games played)
Total Goals Scored (Total Goals For in all games played)


(Tie-breakers 5-6 calculated based on games played between the tied teams only):
Goal Differential (Total Goals For minus total Goals Against in games between the tied teams)
Total Goals Scored (Total Goals For in games between tied teams)

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Who do you want in the finals, Russia or NA23?

 

[Firsov99]

Freidman just said that if Russia wins in any way they advance.

Finland NEEDS to win.

No, they don't

 

[JTX]

It's kind of a shame after that game that N.A. likely won't advance to the next round.

 

[Battle Lin]

omg russia lost means NA plays canada right?

cant believe they didnt meet once all tourney wtf

 

[Blitzago*]

That was like a 3 minute shift

clueless

Still a terrible effort, why were they on for like 3 minutes.

Sweden got better and better after a horrible start.

Did you not watch the game? He made a key save as to why it wasnt an OTL.

I was talking about him saying the Sedins were carrying the team.

 

[KPower]

Russia is going to choke and lose 3-1 to Finland.

It wouldn't be the first time.

 

[Super Cake]

Karlsson was away in la la land on the OT winner and the Sedins couldn't score if their lives depended on it.

Keep on saying that. Maybe if you say it enough, it will be true.

 

[FlameChampion]

MacKinnon in post game interview said he thought they were in with the win. Didnt even know they needed to win in regulation to guarantee a spot ...
