Swedes are soft.

 

[ForSpareParts*]

Give the puck to Matthews.

That
Is
All

 

[The Gloaming]

I really doubt that a team as good and poised as Sweden needs some idiot screaming at them.

 

[JFG]

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.

I have to ask. Why do you always put the quotes at the end of your posts?

 

[Draiskull]

Only based on draft hype.

McDavid has yet to show anything that makes it clear he'll be the better of the two.

and how many non Flames fans (homers) share this feeling?

Sorry but McDavid will be better than Gaudreau.. Its really not a knock on JG.
He is only 19 so hasnt really had a chance to "make it clear".. Stats wise McDavid scored over PPG his rookie year.. Gaudreau has yet to cross that mark.

 

[snipes]

The kids are just peppering the Swedes with shots.

Come out and get a PP goal here.

USA already demonstrated how well that works.

 

[FDBluth]

Can't wait for Matthews to get his Canadian citizenship after being in Toronto for a few years so he can play with McDavid

 

[KaseMeOutside]

wow toronto sportsnet really laying it on heavy with mathews, makes a simple play and ron maclean is in disbelief

 

[snipes]

Are some Flames fans seriously saying Gaudreau is better than McDavid? For real?

Great player, but come on.

 

[WarriorOfGandhi]

after that period can there be any question that Matthews is the superior player to McDavid?

 

[The Gloaming]

USA already demonstrated how well that works.

But team USA had a combination of a screaming idiot and horrible players.

Even though I'm obviously cheering for NA, I do think it's unfair that Sweden has to play back to back like this. Like an important game in September that they have to play back to back? Sounds to me like the schedule makers wanted a certain result.

 

[gerardfraser]

We are all a bunch of old guys here,not one of us could make either team.All I can say it is great hockey in September.TeamNa looks like a winner here.

 

[Prntscrn]

Those teams cant pick 23 and under players.

Thanks. Was thinking about how a swe/fin team like this would look.

Laine
Aho
Pulju
Barkov
Forsberg
Landeskog
Nylander
Granlund
Tereväinen
Lindholm
Zibanejad
Rakell

Lindholm
Ristolainen
Määttä
Larsson
Brodin
Klefbom

probably some finnish goalies


Maybe not good enough, but decent. Would weakening both Sweden and Finland though.. Specially Finland I guess

 

[Chimpradamus]

Regardless of the outcome of this game, the scheduling of this tournament is just as professional as the Mickey Mouse logo they should have as the official logo.

That some teams get no back to back games and some do, is just ridiculous. One extra day? Too much to ask for where every game is do or die, except for the clown group A (where Canada and USA were supposed to advance automatically)? Apparently.

And some say this tournament should grow prestige? Yeah... sure.

 

[Drew4u]

Gaudreau is overrated. Mcdavid way better

Every team in the pool has played on a back to back. I agree that there's no place for them in the tournament but I don't think there's a conspiracy here to advance NA.

Simple play? Maybe like 10 NHL players could ever do that at age 19.

bad habit

If anything this tournament is making me think the opposite.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

we should do a challenge... see how long we can go without mention of Flames team/player, Leafs team/player or Oilers team/player haha... lets discuss other guys on this team!!! haha
