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

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.

Really? Gunler scored 2 goals...but best in the game? He was quiet aside from those wicked wristers.

Holtz and Raymond were buzzing all game, dominating possession. Soderstrom is making a case for best defense in the tournament.

And Soderblom was great at screening the goalie. How was Sundsvik better? He’s looked mostly out of place on that top line. I’m dreading seeing him against Canada, Russia and USA.

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

He’ll get one soon. His shot selection needs work. He likes to rip it when the smart play is to pass. But give it time and he’ll score.

I really think they were trying to get a him a goal tonight before the games mean anything.

Hell no. Soderblom was great at standing statically in front of the crease, and of course him standing there is a threat. But he sucked at moving into the line of different shooters. He didnt show much mobililty in front of the crease. Too passive. Definately a coachable issue though.

Sundsvik out of place? Him with great puck control in lots of traffic, leading up to Raymonds goal

Great puck control in lots of traffic again, feeding Holtz with backhand pass. But Holtz misses the open net.

Both plays from 3rd period, so your excused if blame the beer effect. Keep in mind Sundsvik hasnt centered these creative wingers before the game against Czechia. Those centers who did got virused-out.

First time I've ever heard Rancid being played in an arena... interesting.

Which song? Timebomb?

Sweden now has 52 straight wins in round Robin? (burning all energy here, only to then fall flat when it matters AGAIN)

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

A combined Germany-Austria team would actually make some noise this tournament.

Define noise. They’d probably be about Czech Republic level.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Raymond has a history of staying down long after hits. Hopefully he's fine.

Swedish Neymar?

It's important for hockey that the record is set on 69.

If such teams would still be a thing in sports the Czech Republic would also be part of the Greater Reich, i am just not sure if the slavic players would be allowed to play for them.

Define noise. They’d probably be about Czech Republic level.

In other words: the team that just beat Russia?

 

[Seiza]

Just watched a summary, get the feeling Sweden played well but a lot of sloppy shots or whiffs in clear scoring chances kept numbers down together with a hot Austrian goalie.

 

[MoDoJoel]

54 actually. 69 is coming closer and closer.

 

[BigBadBoar]

I was impressed by Wraneschitz's performance. With some average goalie, Austria would surely lose like 0-10, maybe even more. Wraneschitz was stellar and I have no doubt his performance has made some noise among scouts and managers.

 

[Preposterone]

Swedish Neymar?

Not really, he doesn't dive for penalties often (like on this play he sent himself into the boards). He just seems extremely cautious with his spine/face and stays down whenever he feels something in those areas.

Wow....I’m pleasantly surprised for sure. Great tune from a great band. Two of the best albums ever are ‘Out Come the Wolves’ and ‘Lets Go’

 

[Eye of Ra]

i think this is the most boring game i probaly ever watched.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

In other words: the team that just beat Russia?

The team that usually gets best easily by the big five teams.
