Olympics: Gdt Canada vs Sweden

[AB13]

A greasy, lucky goal was the only option this game.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Sweden deserves to win this one...See if the Canadians have anything left.

 

[Czechboy]

Don Cherry's least fav type of goal.. off the D stick and top shelf. Bad break for Canada. Nice one for Swedes.

Canada has a history of late game heroics... could get good here

 

[HabSgt]

This is why the drop pass is never a good idea

Sweden's grind 1 Canada's grind 0

And This should end any Claude julien to the nhl speculation

 

[Boonk]

There's the end of the tourny boys

 

[karhukissa]

Heja Sverige

 

[BruinsBtn]

The 'ole drop pass just inside your own blueline. Brilliant.

Montreal Canadiens say "challenge accepted"

[Chimpradamus]

1-0, nice! And how many shots have hit the mask on the Canadian goalie? 5?

I gotta say that I think the hype train on Owen Power needs to be toned way down. I don’t think his skating has been that impressive tbh.

 

[centipede2233]

Well atleast this emphasizes how important it is to have nhlers there, this game was boring as HeLL

Yeah he looks painfully average against just European stars.

 

[expy]

Just woke up.

Not surprised this Canadian team is terrible.

The whole tournament has been much more competitive without NHLers though.

We watch the World Juniors every year and that hockey f***ing sucks.

 

[Czechboy]

Yeah he looks painfully average against just European stars.

He's already won a World Championships against Euro stars.

He looked WAY above his peer group at World Juniors IMO.

He'll be awesome.

The main problem in his game is overworking situations with the puck. He holds onto the puck for too long too often when teammates are avaliable. Slows down the pace of the game and ruins fastbreak opportunities.

He has undeniable talent but this is a significant flaw.

 

[hobgoblinvasya]

What a boring game this has been so far.

 

[Cloned]

Yeah he looks painfully average against just European stars.

I mean he’s still very young so I don’t expect him to dominate against veterans. But I was expecting his physical tools to stand out and they really haven’t as much as I thought they would.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Should have brought Bedard!

 

[Natey]

He's already won a World Championships against Euro stars.

He'll be awesome.

I'm not saying he's not going to be great. But it's clear he's got more development to do because he looks very pedestrian in this tournament.
