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

[aphyro]

You should be happy, defeating Hammarby today, being soooo lucky. ;-)

That was expected Hammarby has hard time against us

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Starte the OT ffs, up early tomorrow

 

[Dijay]

Ehm it works for them in a world championship gold final so why bash? why even this hate against Switzerland? i would have understand if it was Canada but common Switzerland is okay!

because he's raging.
Euro sickness, inspire from soccer
Just have to not notice him

 

[bsu]

Go Swiss!!

 

[Chimpradamus]

the ice is terrible...

Yup, it looks absolutely horrible. Any time a player tries to deke, it fails. It's seems beyond terrible, which is good for the Swiss.

lol you are from sundsvall. fake supporter. you should support gif sundsvall.

 

[that is unfortunate]

Is Switzerland missing any players or is this basically the best team they can put together? They have certainly taken huge steps lately.

Missing Hischier but other than that it's basically their best roster.

 

[PatrikBerglund]

32 shots with that kind of prolonged pressure is not good enough. Need to get more pucks to the net.

Agreed. Sweden is waiting for the perfect situation, being way too cute, instead of just shooting and crashing the net.

The Klingberg syndrome.

 

[FinPanda]

Fantastic game so far. It has went like expected.. what happened to all those saying that this will be a blowout for Sweden?

A few players off, most notably Hischier. But it's definitely the best Swiss NT in recent history.

I like creative hockey, Canada brings it, Sweden brings it, USA brings it. Swiss, not so much, at all. The high sticks raises the grade for the effort though.

swiss beating finland was expected.

 

[Dueling Banjos]

He's 30, has a family and is on the record that he has no intentions to move over to the NHL.

Makes sense.

 

[EK47]

Shots, 32-18 to Sweden.

Lots of perimeter play. Eerily enough it reminds me of the World junior final in Malmö where Sweden controlled the play but wasn't allowed to have the puck at all in the dangerous areas. Incredible team effort by Switzerland so far.

 

[Mestaruus]

Fantastic game so far. It has went like expected.. what happened to all those saying that this will be a blowout for Sweden?

Guilty as charged. I thought that Swiss would be too tired due to worse schedule and tighter game the previous day. This could still be the deciding factor on the OT.

Final like this certainly washed away any disappointment I had about Finland dropping out.

Buy a couple cheap monitors and run a multi monitor setup like I do. I can watch up to 4 games at the same time.

Canadians..

Yes, we are eating crows right now. ;-)

Yep, true.

 

[mosare]

U forgot baertschi! Maybe also weber and sbisa

 

[Eye of Ra]

Yep, true.

yes.

Well they playing good! and the Swiss supporters seems like nice people so no need to spew hate on them.

 

[PatrikBerglund]

Isn't Sbisa one of the worst players in the NHL?

 

[FinPanda]

Yes, we are eating crows right now. ;-)

Sweden will still take this, just fun to make fun of some people who were overconfident and arrogant before the game. It will be well deserved either way.
