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

[helax]

Zibby got 42% shooting, fluke? :p

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...

Swiss got absolutely nothing. Just odd man rushes and clog up the zone with flesh when they defend. Valid tactic for an inferior team, I give their coach that.

 

[End on a Hinote]

Could you image if Germany had won Olympic gold and the Swiss wins the WHC?

Even I think that would have been amazing and this is coming from someone who absolutely hates the fact that Canadians aren't dominating hockey so much anymore.

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

Sweden created tons of pressure, very good, this is how we (Sweden) have to play.

 

[jj cale]

wow..................great opportunity there for the swiss but Nillson met the challenge.

 

[JoeThorntonsRooster]

Great pass by Meier, too bad Andrighetto didn’t convert

Dear lord Nilsson is gonna cost us this

Switzerland had the better chances and that's all that counts. Sweden has the puck a lot but is unable to do anything with it. Pretty boring final so far. Swiss counter attacks are pretty much what's happening. Other than that not much happening...

 

[Pieck]

Diaz is dead. Don’t play him for the rest of the game lol

 

[chokei]

Roman Josi is so good. I am fascinated anew every time I watch him. What a pleasure to have him on team Switzerland.

 

[Natey]

Saving grace for Switzerland is a short change next period.

 

[mosare]

Swiss with clearly the better chances the last minutes

 

[jj cale]

Genoni!!

 

[21]

Damn! Who the hell is this Swiss goalie??? He is f***ing great.

 

[exeswiss]

swedes are diving much? they are somehow always on the ice...

 

[Hinterland]

Dear lord Nilsson is gonna cost us this

I said it from the start. If the Swiss wanna win they should shoot non-stop from everywhere. Nilsson is big but a bad goalie. A weak link for sure.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Holy shit this is way more entertaining than what I witnessed from NSH this spring.

 

[FVM]

I never knew Sweden - Switzerland could be this kind of badass hockey. Amazing.

 

[LiveeviL]

swedes are diving much?

No, Swiss playing a bit rough though.

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Not at all?

 

[Zybalto]

Really good game so far.

It all comes down to one period.......

 

[The Noot]

Saving grace for Switzerland is a short change next period.

Yeah, the long change was the MVP for the Swedish pressure phase.

Whatever Swiss line was out there for like 3 continuous minutes will be hot garbage for the rest of the game.

 

[Saekk]

Pretty sure Finns would have folded against this swedish team already, lol.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Intense game,

 

[PatrikBerglund]

Fiala with a clear tripping.
