GDT: Sweden vs. Latvia, Feb 18th, 17:00 CET, 11:00 AM EST

[Art Vandelay]

Lunkan was cold... I guess...

I'm amazed he's still awake.

 

[Skroob*]

A cheap goal by Latvia. He shot it in virtually no space at all between Henke's pads. Henke had even crouched down. How the hell did that one get in? Henke doesn't look happy at all.

6-1.

you cant blame him, its not as if he was getting work at all. He hadn't seen a puck in so long, he forgot what to do!

 

[Garbs]

Who has scored for Sweden?

 

[Chimpradamus]

It is quite obvious that Forsberg will probably switch places with Jörgen Jönsson against USA tomorrow.

Zetterberg - Forsberg - Holmström

Påhlsson - Jönsson - Axelsson

 

[Vikke]

Who has scored for Sweden?

Alfie twice, Lidström, Zetterberg aaaaaand?

 

[GuloGulo]

Who has scored for Sweden?

Pahlsson, Lidstrom, Alfredsson, Axelsson, Zetterberg, Alfredsson (again)

 

[SopelFan*]

Alfie twice, Lidström, Zetterberg aaaaaand?

Pahlsson.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Who has scored for Sweden?

1-0 PÃ¥hlsson (Forsberg)
2-0 Lidström PP (Zetterberg)
3-0 Alfredsson PP (K. Jönsson)
4-0 Axelsson PP (Forsberg)
5-0 Zetterberg (Holmström)
6-0 Alfredsson (Sundin, Lidström)

 

[Garbs]

Nice, thanks.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Modin another penalty, in PP! What the heck does he think he's doing? He doesn't have one right in three games now! Scratch him and let Hannula play.

He has been invisible and when you have seen him, he is involved in something bad.

 

[Telecaster]

Alfie redeemed himself bigtime in this game.

 

[KRM]

It is quite obvious that Forsberg will probably switch places with Jörgen Jönsson against USA tomorrow.

Zetterberg - Forsberg - Holmström

Påhlsson - Jönsson - Axelsson

Why? We lose deepth and why have two player on the same line who like too hold the puck?

Keep the lines as they are.

 

[Leo Naphta]

Thats three goalscorers and no playmakers in the same line, poor coaching by BÃ…G.

But then again, what else is new.

I still want to see Foppa with Sudden.

Agree. Forsberg should play with Sundin and Modin, and Z. should center Alfie and Holmström.

 

[Chimpradamus]

I'll buy anything as long as we dump Jönsson to the defensive line. But I agree with you, Zetterberg and Forsberg on the same line is trouble.

 

[Seiza]

Agree. Forsberg should play with Sundin and Modin, and Z. should center Alfie and Holmström.

That sir, I like...

And please! Give us a proper PP unit, I do not want to see J.J play PP agian...

 

[Seiza]

I could also see Alfie together with Foppa. Forsberg needs a goalscorer on his line..

 

[C-J...*]

Modin - Zetterberg - Samuelsson

Holmström - Sundin - Forsberg

Alfredsson - Sedin - Sedin

Jönsson - Påhlsson - Axelsson




Three evenly stacked lines + one checkingline.

Whattcha think?

 

[Telecaster]

Modin - Zetterberg - Samuelsson

Holmström - Sundin - Forsberg

Alfredsson - Sedin - Sedin

Jönsson - Påhlsson - Axelsson




Three evenly stacked lines + one checkingline.

Whattcha think?

Switch Alfie with Samuelsson and im okay with that.

 

[Leo Naphta]

And please! Give us a proper PP unit, I do not want to see J.J play PP agian...

I agree. But BÃ…G is apparently set on playing our two top lines with our two top d-pairings on the Power Play. Bad idea, but that's the way it is going.

 

[MartinFr]

Take Modin off that first line, they really need a fast skater instead, both Sundin and Alfredsson can score goals so the only thing they need is a guy that can do the "hard-work", PÃ¥hlsson?

OR

Play the old succesfull Frölunda-line from 2004/05?

And,

Anyone who thinks Alex Steen should have been in this team?

 

[DayWalk3r]

I would like to see Forsberg & Alfie together with Holmstrom.

That line would be sick!

 

[larsmark]

I would like to see Forsberg & Alfie together with Holmstrom.

That line would be sick!

Yeah that would be nice. But I really liked what I saw today so I want them to keep Forsberg with PJ and PÃ¥hlsson in the next game too. PÃ¥hlsson has been our best forward so far together with Sundin. PÃ¥hlsson is freaking awesome, damn I love that guy!

Forsberg did look good out there today, really good. I just wish BÃ…G would have powerplay lineups instead of rolling around on the regular ones. But I guess that will change, hopefully.

 

[Chimpradamus]

That could probably turn out well. Heck, anyone playing with Forsberg will turn out well.

But who will take defensive responsbility?

And I agree. Samuel Påhlsson and Tomas Holmström, I love those two guys. Axelsson has also been great as usual, you know what you get when you play that guy.

 

[larsmark]

Yeah. What I am most amazed of is that I thought Forsberg would get like 12 minutes of playing time in this game. I think he played most minutes of any forward in the game though (maybe beaten by PÃ¥hlsson and PJ who worked in boxplay). His line did the longest shifts on the whole team. So this probably showed that his groin is fine...*prays to god*

 

[Telecaster]

His line did the longest shifts on the whole team. So this probably showed that his groin is fine...*prays to god*

´

Yep, i hope so. His line was on for 1min+ at most shifts through the game.
