[leaflover]

They had a great chance but didn't capitalize. Their fate is out of their hands now.

Mcdavid - Scheifele - Reilly

Matthews - Gaudreau - Jones

RNH - Mackinnon - Murray

What? Team NA can still go through. Head to head isn't a tiebreaker. Goal differential is one of them, ROW is another.

They badly need this point though.

Finland can't be trusted to beat Russia.

No. Head to head is the only tiebreaker in 2-way tie.

Hence, they need Finland to win in regulation if they don't win here. If they win, Russia has to lose, no matter how.

When was the last time the Leafs won anything?

Man Swedish hockey is so boring. So much neutral zone clogging and low risk plays.

It's effective though.

 

[LeaferGeezer]

**** you Erik Karlsson!

 

[Jayevs]

So, with this. If NA wins and Russia wins are NA out?

Yep

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Refs took this game from NA

No, NA got a few weak powerplays as well...

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

world cup will be boring if NA doesn't make semis

Yup, was watching mainly for NA...

 

[TLeafsFan]

Yes.

Well, Russia also has to win in regulation.

 

[Nordic*]

Crazy how Sweden seemed more fresh in the third period.

3 vs 3 against U-23 isn't fair though.


What happens to the Sedins here. One d-man and those two extremely slow forwards?

Ouch..

 

[JFG]

Vi kom undan med blotta förskräckelsen.

 

[TimeZone]

Mackinnon blocks a goal.

 

[21]

The King!

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Lundqvist!!

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

WOW Lundquist

 

[ijuka]

Karlsson-Sedin-Sedin for 3v3 is fair.

 

[McFlyingV]

Naw. There have been ridiculous calls for both teams. They've been consistently weak, so there isn't much to complain about.

Not really they missed 2 blatant calls (a hold on Karlsson on McDavid's breakaway, and a slash on Gaudreau when he walked the D). You can't miss calls like that on grade A scoring chances.

 

[Roo Mad Bro]

Save of tourney right there. Holy.

 

[Leafidelity]

When was the last time the Leafs won anything?

When was the last time the Leafs were an International team?

 

[bDtKarlsson]

I want shootouts!

 

[Irishguy42]
