PGT: Game 14: Sweden 5 - United States 4 (OT)

[Dominance]

I thought Sweden was supposed to be relatively bad this year, geez. Their d-corps is insane, and that’s after they replaced 19 year old Liljegren with 17 year old Broberg!

 

[Rainmaker]

One of the worst D cores I've seen for the US in quite some time.

The least lethal offensive team I've seen in years too. That's a bad recipe.

 

[Canucks LB]

It’s a bad game guys relax, USA will play better as the tournament goes on.

Why do people overreact so much recently

 

[SabresSharks]

There's a line separating supreme confidence and reckless arrogance. Quinn crossed it on that 3rd goal.

Sweden is playing a superb team game. Almost mistake-free, short accurate passes, loads of puck support, keeping the slot clear, retrieving the puck, giving very little skating room. Hat tip to their play and preparation.

Sweden looks damn good

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

which resulted in nothing since the pass failed to connect. That shift was a dominant one by that Poehling-Wahlstrom line.

Are we even talking about the same play? Cause the forward got the shot off

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Was leaving Reilly Walsh off the team a mistake? I thought he would make the team for that shot of his alone. Not a fan of how he defends though.

There is no offensive creativity from almost all of their forwards and all their D's have been bad thus far, except for that easy game yesterday.

People overreact to this tournament way too much.

It’s an awesome, fun tournament that I look forward to every year, but projecting players careers solely based on it is utterly insane.

They could use someone better than Cockerill on the other wing though.

Sweden bursting up the ice with speed and the USA team dee has no answer so far

 

[deVolt]

The american kids is been taught hockey 101

i dont remember there being a shot. Anyways regardless it was a great cycle shift by that line and Hughes decided to waste it all by forcing a nothing play. Very disappointed. It was a nice tight game until then

 

[Mikeshane]

That yellow color is very appropriate as Sweden are absolutely swarming out there.

Could be her based on Instagram pics but I am not certain... looks different but maybe it's the hairstyle?

I'm going to put you out of your misery. Two for one deal.

The U.S. started the game with no juice, no swagger, zero urgency and they are getting worked. It's a freaken clinic out there. Is Hughes that big of an impact for the team? Stupid passes, stupid moves, half-ass effort. Sweden looks like a well oiled machine out there. They know the U.S.'s every move before they even do anything.

I thought the U.S. played really well for the first 5 minutes. After that, I agree.

They have 5, Sweden has 9.

definitely. I think loading up with Robertson would be a good idea for the USA.

I don't think the game was tight at all, Sweden dominated the game even before the 3-0 goal

Bahhh...
He's just one of those kind of players. You take a little bad with a whole lot of good. He will screw up trying to be too aggressive sometimes; but he brings so much and can generate so much you live with it.

 

[Zine]

Sweden's d-core is ridiculous......especially in terms of transitioning to offense. Could you imagine Dahlin and Liljegren on this team. Sweet 'effin Jesus'.

 

[Blender]

US has had no answer to the pressure from Sweden so far. Just relentless all over the ice with overlapping support.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Sweden looks damn good

Best team after Canada in my opinion. They play extremely well together

They looked like a senior team that second period. Very responsible in every situation.
