GDT: Europe vs. Sweden

[21]

Yes, we definitely look slow sometimes.

I'm waiting for the twins to deliver.

Sweden's powerplay is really bad this tournament they are too slow

 

[EK47]

I meant international games... and those games at 1 PM aren't always sold out. And what does the exhibition game have to do with this? Of course it was sold out, the home team was playing.

Aha I thought you meant that Sweden could not sell it out

So who is Canada cheering for today? Who would we rather match up with in the finals?

Does it matter? Canada will steamroll whoever. It will be over in 2 games with a goal differential in double digits.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Backy!!

You are really underrating Lundqvist here. He will keep the score respectable imo if Sweden does go to the finals.

People complaining about the game not selling out. Look at the traffic on the GDT.

They're going head to head against a Blue Jays-Yankees game (in Toronto, 1PM start time, 40K seats, across the street). The Blue Jays are in a playoff race... with like 10 games left in the season. At least in Toronto, the tickets are sold out (with high gate prices), people just don't go.

If the World Cup tried to do what it did in Toronto (with the prices, and you having to buy tickets to every single game), I doubt that 70% of the tickets are sold. At least this way, the NHL makes it's money.

maybe they should try hosting it in a real hockey country next time

 

[21]

Great!!!! We have to score on chances like this and we did.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Oh no, no goal??

 

[WesMcCauley]

Thats goalie interference. Should be called off

 

[EK47]

Oh crap that might be overruled

EDIT: Yes!! Nickback!

 

[Macbanan]

weak man, weak.

If Sweden can sell out an exhibition game with the best players they can sell out a game in the actual tournament.

I can't even... Sweden would not sell out a game between Canada-Czech Republic (for example) being played at 1 PM.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Good goal!!

 

[Super Cake]

Glad it was a good goal.

 

[WesMcCauley]

Thats so dumb. They have to be consistent on thoose calls. Sometimes overruled and sometimes not... dumb as hell

Please read my edited post

 

[EK47]

Berglund is crap

 

[Novak Djokovic]

To neutral fans, are Canada games this boring?

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Hjalmarsson stupid penalty

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Is this Swedish team better or worse than in 2006?

 

[Phil McKraken]

What's the point of Hjalmarsson's, Hagelin's and Kronwall's visors?

 

[Nordic*]

Even if we go through to the finals we will get murdered if we float around like this. Where are all the hits and hard battles. Too lacadasical.

And once again, why is OEL so bad on the national team?

Dominant in the NHL, but plays nothing like that with team Sweden...

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Is this Swedish team better or worse than in 2006?

Better D, worse up front. Same goalie.

 

[Rocket of Russia]

Josi with great speed to breakup the chance from Kruger and awareness to make a play against Hedman. Kopitar of course back defensively to hinder Hedman as well...
