GDT: Europe vs. Sweden

[EK47]

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...

This time when you said it OEL actually had a great shift so keep saying it

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

OEL injured???

 

[Snipez*]

Can't wait for the tournament to finish. Basically 2 teams fighting it out to get murdered by Canada lol..

Unfortunately european games tend to be slower, less physical, more tactical and more defensive minded.

It's exactly the same if you compare the leagues, for example comparing SHL with NHL, completely different styles of hockey.

Sweden playing North American teams is much more entertaining, almost like watching a different sport.

To neutral fans, are Canada games this boring?

 

[Divine]

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

Yeah, like countries with NHL teams.

Canada vs a gimmick team @ 1pm wouldn't really excite me that much either as a swede.

 

[JayGould]

Is this Swedish team better or worse than in 2006?

Worse. Forwards can't even compare.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

wow awful refs!!

 

[EK47]

Lol refs

 

[BonAppleTea]

Tatar with an epic stick break

Yes, every time two European teams face eachother, it's just much more tactical and positional. But when a European team face a NA team, they adapt.

I agree, it's more entertaining when an european team faces a NA team.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

OEL injured???

Lucky not to mess up his knee with that twisty fall.

 

[bDtKarlsson]

NHL refs are so overrated

 

[Esse]

What the ****?

 

[Willy Stylez]

How can the refs miss that by Tatar? Haha.

 

[Pandaman11]

This may have been the worst coach's challenge in the (young) history of this rule. Terribly thrown away timeout by Krueger.

 

[Nordic*]

It should've been a penalty on TATAR.

 

[EMeduza]

Zuccarello sounds like some type of food.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Great PK.

 

[Ivo]

Team Europe powerplays don't even seem like an advantage.

 

[EK47]

That was a too many men on the ice call pp Sweden

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Sweden loves defending the 1 goal lead.

 

[Natt]

Is this Swedish team better or worse than in 2006?

We had Peter Forsberg, Mats Sundin, Henrik Zetterberg in his prime, Sedins, Alfredsson. D and the rest of our forwards were **** though, except for Lidström.

 

[Pure Laine]

Go Europe

 

[aufheben]

NHL refs are so overrated

By who?
