GDT: Austria Vs Sweden | 12/28 @ 6PM ET | TSN/NHLN

[Dingo]

Results are a shock. Nice to see Austria NOT being embarrassed.

wellllllll....

their goalie wasn’t embarrassed. they managed a shot every ten minutes and looked like little kids playing adults, except Rossi.

Incredible performance by their goalie.

 

[Ginger Papa]

119 saves in two games...

 

[peconcan]

How could anyone besides the goalie deserve it they got out shot 65-6

 

[Hinterland]

How many saves does Wraneschitz need to get for player of the game lol

Probably told the coaches that he really doesn't want a second one of these ugly and useless wallets

 

[theslatcher]

Are we sure sundsvik is what is wrong with that line?

He has had 4 nice shifts I think, otherwise he has fumbled the puck, so yeah.

 

[pabst blue ribbon]

I think you can only win player of the game once in this type of tournament

Correct me if I'm wrong

Made me laugh.

Is Canada the country that always gives the worst gifts for player of the game?

Like wallets ..common.

 

[Jayan]

Mad props to Austrias goalie. Hes gonna face more shots in 4 games this tournament than whatever two starting goalies that go all the way to the finals will.

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

Austria had a couple of decent skaters but still tough luck with the group.

Still what an experience of a lifetime to play in this tourney for most of those kids.

 

[romelson]

He's clearly been doing his part when the others havent.

Also, I think Sundsvik is far better than Soderblom in front the crease in PP. Yes, it is hard for d-men to move around Soderblom, but Sundsvik is far more actively screening the keeper.

That said, Gunler is the best forward of the game.

I agree. Give them something they can show off. Stupid "prize".

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Kvist should play next game

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

Games like this is where a crowd could make moments last a lifetime.

No doubt in my mind the Canadian crowd would be shouting the same for the Austrian goalie as they did years ago for Godla.

 

[VictorLustig]

Kvist should play next game

Agree. I also think Berglund played his way onto this roster.

 

[theslatcher]

Agree. I also think Berglund played his way onto this roster.

Andrae - Berglund
Brännstam

At the bottom would be pretty nice to see.

 

[ORRFForever]

Effing Sweden ruining my sports betting. 8.5+ goals my ass...

You said you were going to use your sport's winnings to take me to see Wonder Woman 1984 - my first time to see it, your 27th.

Does this mean I have to pay for myself because if that's the case, it's NOT worth it.

Gunler must be a complete arse to deal with. Otherwise, I don't understand how he wasn't a top 20 pick in the draft.

 

[theslatcher]

Austria ties Belarus(2001 against Russia), and Slovakia(2017 against Canada) for fewest SOG in a WJC game at 6 btw.

- His play without the puck is probably the worst on the Swedish team
- He is not very good 5-on-5
- He is poor defensively

With that being said, his hockey sense, shot and overall offensive skills are elite. But there are certainly areas where he must improve considerably.

I also think his puck handling is very suspect at times. He's looking really dangerous on the PP however, that release is something else.

 

[57special]

So he's Hoffman?

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

So he's Hoffman?

That might be a good comparison.

I didn't want to say it, so thanks you.

Devil's fan that didn't watch. It sounds like Holtz is snake-bitten, or am I mistaken?
