GDT: Bronze Medal Game

[Caz]

Go SWE! The more medals stay "in the family" the better.

Will be curious to see how they set up the groups next year. Montreal is scheduled to have the medal games in 2017 and ticket sales were disappointing there compared to Toronto.

My guess is Canada will be assigned to play in Toronto and the US will be based in Montreal to help ticket sales.

No one wants to win.

USA will mail it in.

5-2 Sweden

 

[Summer Rose]

No one wants to win.

Well, I can imagine that no one wants to lose either.

 

[EK47]

my god this game is flat two bored teams "fighting" for a medal no one really wants.

1-0 USA, Bjork (Dvorak) 11:59

at least the winner not first loser

at least the loser didn't actually try

 

[Rossiya*]

Its embarrassing for Sweden to take a beating like this so close to home.

 

[romelson]

2-0 USA. Thank you, Jacob Larsson

 

[saintflannel]

Nice deflection by Tkachuk.

I don't remember exactly where I read it but someone polled Olympic medalists and found out that bronze medalists were typically happier with their achievement than silver medalists.

Seems a bit stale game.

I'm assuming this is in team sports, or sports with bracket systems in place? Not most sports I'd think.

2-0 USA, Tkachuk (Werenski, Schmaltz) 15:32

A rout?

They certainly look a lot happier in photos, so it's not hard to believe.

 

[dmacgreg37]

The happiest people in the arena right now are the TSN crew who are already wetting themselves over NYE 2017 for Canada vs. USA.

 

[GigaChad]

I don't understand why you wouldn't want to win the bronze..
I'd be playing seriously even in that game to get the medal

You win it, not lose it like the silver one

Nothing is worse than finishing 4th

 

[EK47]

No don't score I want grönborg to be humiliated

 

[Canuckistani]

Swedes on the board, 2-1

 

[Rossiya*]

Team USA choking now

 

[Plural]

Sweden not lying down and dying.

Do we have 3 Nylanders in this WJC?

Thought they looked extremely similar when he sat on the bench before. Maybe Anders helmet is too small
