GDT: Gold Medal Game - May 20 - Sweden vs Switzerland

[chokei]

Crazy pressure by Sweden. And the logical ensueing penalty against Switzerland. Crucial period in the game now.

 

[The Noot]

Easy to keep the puck going if the other team was essentially triple shifting.

Good thing they only got a PP out of it

 

[PatrikBerglund]

How is Switzerland up 2-1?

Edit. Nvm.

 

[ciderfylla]

The Swiss are getting severely outplayed right now. If this keeps up I can't imagine the period ending in Swiss favor.

 

[EK47]

Wicked shot by Zibanejad!

 

[FVM]

Ok that was inevitable.

 

[jj cale]

That was basically inevitable.

 

[Healthy DiPietro]

Zibby!

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Well deserved! This game is awesome!

 

[Jayan]

Zibbbbby

 

[The Noot]

Meh.

 

[chokei]

How is Switzerland up 2-1?

Because they were actually playing quite well and had their chances, apart from that most recent pressure period by Sweden.

 

[Sol]

Thank god

 

[Hinterland]

What a Swedish shift! Clearly c l e a r l y the most skilled team of the 2

Does it take skill to control the puck for minutes without a shot on goal? I don't think they had one let alone done creating anything dangerous. A good team would have scored there. Switzerland missed several glorious chances to exit the zone and it took a penalty for Sweden to take advantage of it. I wouldn't be proud if I were you. That was boring garbage stuff. I almost fell asleep...

And this was the breaking point, it is downhill from now on for the alp boys.

Weird how the only Swedes I can stand are the ones on NSH

Dislike Landy though. Such a pretend- captain in my eyes, takes dumb penalties and starts scraps when he can't score.

Landy is increadibly underrated and a very complete player (and leader), one of my personal favorites. It's debatable if he is a first line or an elite second line player though. If his scoring touch could improve little bit it would be great. :-D

 

[Name Nameless]

Don't drink too much. It's Monday tomorrow.

Luckily, holiday. Sadly, now the Swedes scored. Yeah, will seriously need to drink more here.

 

[Natey]

Switzerland is dead. It was a good effort but they needed Genoni to perfect and he's been amazing, but not perfect. I expect the 3rd to be similar up yesterday.

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Keep at it guys! Don't let them breathe

Crucial time here now for the swiss..........the Swedes have their mojo now.

 

[21]

Wow, Sweden played amazing there for a long stretch, beautiful watching, lovely, now 2-2. :-D

 

[Sher-Wood]

Yes 2-2! Sweden had a lucky high intense shift leading to a lucky penalty and the lucky goal.

 

[jj cale]

Swiss need to get out of this period tied and then find their legs again during the intermission.

Keep it 2-2....................you have to.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Yes 2-2! Sweden had a lucky high pressure shift leading to a lucky penalty and the lucky goal.

"Lucky pressure shift". That's one way explaining it.

 

[Hinterland]

Wow, Sweden played amazing there for a long stretch, beautiful watching, lovely, now 2-2. :-D

Beautiful? You're very easy to please...nothing happening for minutes except some shots going wide and Switzerland missing on clearing attempts.
