That was not the strongest call... f*** off with that one. I'll accept the other 7.

 

[theslatcher]

Swedish commentators keep nagging on that the PP should just avoid a SHG.

Yeah, that was a bad call. Giving one back after that penalty shot perhaps?

Or missed tripping call haha.

 

[Czechboy]

That is 7 penalties in 2 periods.lol

It was a bad call but so was the Penalty shot. My issue isn't reffing. Sweden deserves the win. My issue is we keep taking stupid penalties.

Absolutely brutal officiating this game

Yes, shouldn’t have been a penalty shot

Should just stop doing that, then.

 

[Czechboy]

Should just stop doing that, then.

I was there 2 days ago.. even met Rulik. But they don't listen to me.

 

[Czechboy]

In good news.. David Jiricek has scored for Iowa. Been a real adventure for him this season.lol

Sweden, the kings of the round robin are at it again with a perfect record going into the money games.

 

[Killahpunk]

Congrats to Sweden. Competitive game.

 

[Czechboy]

Congrats Sweden. You were better. You deserved the win. I suspect your skill is why we couldn't keep up and kept taking penalties. Good luck with Latvia.

Only to lose against Latvia in the QF?

 

[Chainshot]

Well played Sweden.

 

[1989]

Sweden just setting themselves for their annual disappointment parade obviously

Good game, ice was bad, Czechs killed their own momentum with stupid penalties, could have been interesting in the third otherwise.

[Czechboy]

Well, we kept ASP of the sheet. Our PK got a lot of work. Hrabal was excellent (I don't blame him for one of those goals). We said before this game we need to stay out of the box. Instead we moved into the box and built a tiny home and lived in it. Congrats Sale for the record 19th point.

Other than one stupid penalty after another, I thought we played well.

This is a great time to lose. Gives us a nightmare quarter which sucks but we know what to work on. PP and take less penalties. I'd like minor line jigs. The guys in top spots like Husa and Masta were invisible. move them down the line. Move the drafted kids up the line.

 

[McMozesmadness]

The Czechs can hang with any team in this tournament. They lost today because they couldn’t stay out of the box. Clean it up and they’re every bit a gold medal contender as CAN/USA/SWE/FIN

Maybe.. I will say the loss didn't make me thing we don't belong. Made me thing we need to stop taking penalties.

Best time to lose.

 

[Predatore]

Willander and ASP have both been extremely consistent this tournament. Especially defensively.

But my pulse usually goes up when Hurtig and the other guys are on the ice.

Solid game by Sweden. Nice to see Thelin bounce back.

 

[theslatcher]

GGs.

Sweden's first perfect RR since 2017.

 

[BigBadBoar]

Sweden was really good tonight. Any opponent would have to deliver a very, very strong performance to beat them, and this was not the case of tonight's Czechia. Too many defensive mistakes, in particular Fibigr had a completely bad game. The 3rd and 4th goal in the quick succession were the game breaker. Add two bad penalties taken in the last 10 mins and that was it. There were some positive sequences too but many things remain to improve for the extremely difficult QF game.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Sweden was the better team. One more game to decide the matchups.
