GDT: 9/21 Team Sweden 2-0-0 vs Team North America 1-1-0 - PART II

[LeaferGeezer]

Hanks a legend though, HOFer.

For sure.

 

[21]

If Lundqvist win Stanley Cup for the Rangers before his career is over I will probably cry for joy a couple of hours.

 

[Canada4Gold]

If it's even nearing the end, should NA take off goalie or?

IMO yes. The only way it burns them is a FIN OT win or a FIN win by 7 or more

 

[Drew4u]

If NA wins in ot russia could still get in. The tiebreaker between 2 teams is h2h not gf

 

[TLeafsFan]

So if NA loses they're out?

Not necessarily if the Finns beat Russia.

 

[Summer Rose]

Wait, so an OT win doesn't do anything for NA?

NA needs to win in regulation, right?

NA can win in OT or regulation, but they need Finland to beat Russia regardless.

Rules for classification: If two teams tie, then the result of their game breaks the tie.

Yep. Looks like North America is done.

 

[Del Preston]

So if NA loses they're out?

Regulation loss, yes.

 

[snipes]

So if NA loses they're out?

Nope. Finns win we have a 3 way tie.

 

[Draiskull]

I am getting sick of Scheifele

wasted opportunities.

bad.

leading team in TOI.. up at almost 20mins

What???

 

[bert]

Todd Mclellan blows it with his goaltending choices yet again. Sharks fans must be familiar with this.

 

[Snipez*]

NA doesn't look like they have much urgency to me. Sweden is just going to play their typical boring AF style to get it to OT

 

[Canada4Gold]

Wait, so an OT win doesn't do anything for NA?

It only does in FIN wins, and if FIN wins in regulation then NA has the GD advamtage anyway even with a regulation loss barring a FIN win by 7

 

[TimeZone]

NA can win in OT or regulation, but they need Finland to beat Russia regardless.

If NA pulls a miracle and wins in OT, they're in either way.

 

[Frank the Tank]

So if NA loses they're out?

Win in regulation and they are in.
Lose in regulation and they are out (unless Finland beats Russia - the score matters too)
Win in OT, lose in OT - it depends on the Russia-Finland (a game where Finland has no motivation to win and Russia does)

 

[FlameChampion]

So if NA loses they're out?

If NA gets an overtime point, they would make it if Finland beats Russia I think

 

[Summer Rose]

IMO yes. The only way it burns them is a FIN OT win or a FIN win by 7 or more

NA can advance with an OTL if Finland beats Russia in regulation.

 

[rj]

So if NA loses they're out?

they'll need to learn some Finnish fight songs in the next 24 hours

 

[Leafidelity]

If Lundqvist win Stanley Cup for the Rangers before his career is over I will probably cry for joy a couple of hours.

Think the chance of that happening came and went already

 

[stakesishigh]

Uhhh...whaat

 

[Killahpunk]

McDavid....

 

[MR4]

So if NA loses they're out?

No, but we leave it to chance that Russia wins vs Finland.

 

[Draiskull]

NA can win in OT or regulation, but they need Finland to beat Russia regardless.

If they beat SWE in regulation they dont have to worry about RUS vs FIN..

It will be between FIN and SWE for the 2nd spot since NA will be ahead of SWE in goal diff and head to head.
