GDT: Europe vs. Sweden

[Nac Mac Feegle]

This is the worst I have ever seen the Sedins on the national team.

And let's be honest, Sweden hasn't looked great in a single game this tournament. We've won all but one game, but without being impressive at all in any of them.

The Swedish kids need to step up and take charge. They seem to be deferring too much to the Sedins. It's great to respect the elders and all, but the team needs those young legs doing more of the heavy lifting.

 

[SorryForMyEnglish*]

Haha, Europe scored. I told you that Sweden is just awful.

 

[mjlee]

Good maybe now there will be an actual game.

 

[Fossy21]

No snow slush there to help the King

Should get Rinne to teach him his ways

 

[tobu]

Europe has been the better team this period. It's still a meh game.

 

[Elias Pettersson]

Markstrom would have stopped that.

 

[Mauler]

We are not playing well i dont know what Grönborg is doing it seems as if we always have the Twins on the ice and they are just out of energy and the lines doesnt really connect

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

If Sweden makes it to the finals, Sedins will be utterly useless vs Canada. Too slow and no heart.

 

[Pure Laine]

Vanek with a Crosby-like effort.

 

[Sorey*]

Typical grönborg choke

 

[Prntscrn]

Yeah Grönborg is a clown. Sucks that we are stuck with him many years to come

 

[Sureves]

I don't understand why Stralman and Hjalmarsson/OEL are getting so much ice time. Not nearly enough Karlsson ice time.

There are no kids on sweden

 

[Willy Stylez]

Markstrom would have stopped that.

From the bench?

 

[niljano]

Sweden looks just awful. Canada will destroy them in the final like always.

Not coure about that. They play good against the best teams. But when they up against worse teams they play worse.
So every game sweden are a different team.

 

[General Zodd]

If Sweden falls behind the game will open up.

Go Europe!!

 

[Nordic*]

Half-assery all around...

Zero physicality and intensity.

 

[Willy Stylez]

Hehe such a boring game.

 

[Sorey*]

Grönborg with zero line coaching as usual

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Half-assery all around...

Zero physicality and intensity.

Indeed. Save a couple periods, to me this has been team Sweden all tourny long.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Yeah Grönborg is a clown. Sucks that we are stuck with him many years to come

Even more depressing that he's better than MÃ¥rts. I can only agree Sweden plays boring as hell. It's just how they play, they always adapt to their opponents. Period.

They want to kill team Europe and they almost did.

 

[VictorLustig]

We need more Karlsson, Eriksson, Landeskog & Bäckström and less Sedin & Forsberg in the 3rd.
I think nothing will happen.

 

[Nordic*]

Pathetic system not utilizing our best players elite strengths.

Pathetic effort.

Seriously.

Bench the red-heads and give Berglund & Silfverberg more icetime. They at least play like they care.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

We will win, calm down.

 

[BonAppleTea]

Look time of register and posts.

Yeah no credibility at all.

I hope Grönborg actually tries to coach to the teams strength this third period. He has been utterly useless so far, playing the Sedins more than Karlsson even though they are the most tired guys on the ice at all times
