GDT: Belarus vs Sweden (Mod warning in post #101)

[weklof]

Gaah, Lööv! Just register Sellgren, Lööv can't be allowed to play another shift in this tournament. Constantly getting lost in the defensive zone, throwing away loose shots into the blocking defender in the O zone

 

[Eye of Ra]

Why?

u where saying?

 

[Chimpradamus]

Imagine having Garpenlöv as your coach at the Olympics.

 

[weklof]

Olofsson is playing himself out of the Olympic team discussion. Not doing anything, at least Kempe and Rakell are involved in the play.

How often has Belarus beaten Sweden? Is this historic possibly? (I know about Salo)

Everything seems to be effed up for Sweden. They will struggle to get to the QFs.

Never lost to Belarus during World Championship.

 

[Czechboy]

Rakell are involved in the play.

I will never forget going to a WJHC game in Buffalo between Czechs and Swedes and masked Rakell just anhilated the Czechs... it was like 7-1 or something but he was awesome.

I definitely won't change the channel then!

Never lost to Denmark either, I think. I think I see a pattern here. Unfortunately Pakistan isn't in the group, perhaps we could get a win.

 

[Chimpradamus]

It's over. Tömmernäs is the blueline QB. It's another loss. I've seen drunken sheep with more hockey awareness than him.

 

[Czechboy]

wtf was Kempe thinking?

 

[Bruce Granville]

Are you sure? There are teams struggling against Kazakhstan…

 

[Czechboy]

Wow... I didn't care who won but I was screaming 'shoot the puck' at the Swedes with 10 seconds left.lol

Congrats Belarus.

 

[HaNotsri]

Ok, so now we have to win against a good team to avoid relegation? Pretty funny.

 

[Phil McKraken]

Well on a positive note, maybe this will speed up the firing of Garpenlöv.

it does not matter, becuse monten will take over

Hard to say... Pakistan has a nice population in Canada (about 200k).. they'd probably beat us and the Czechs with an all Canadian pakistani lineup.lol

No relegation this year due to covid, apparently.

I don't know. Has a national team coach ever been fired before?

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

I guess it's fair to say Sweden struggle on the larger international ice.

 

[Jeppe950]

Let me preface by saying that I only watched the end. The result was as expected almost. And as yesterday, it is not losing that bothers me, it is how they do it.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Just as expected. Garpenlöv woke up from his... whatever he does, dice rolling? He put on some pressure, but his touch to put out the best players is as good as me chopping wood holding my axe with my knee and elbow. He has terrible experience as a coach and it has been abundantly clear that is the case. He has set a new standard for being incompetent at your job.

Hopefully this forces the useless Swedish hockey federation to actually use meritocracy when it comes to coaching and management instead of old buddies drinking whiskey together.

 

[jj cale]

wow.

 

[member 305909]

Sweden are in dire trouble. Has Sweden ever been out of the top 8? Now it is even likely.
