I think Sweden was the better team in the third period. Very close game overall ...

The refs are not good unfortunately, sometimes they make a random call ...
 
I think Sweden played way better in the third.

Canada won 1 and 2, Sweden 3.

The calls haven't been very one sided, pretty bad calls, but not like 1 team is the only one getting them.

The Backström holding call was ********, he got stuck in the Canadian players glove becasue he was passing by Backström. So w/e

You can argue the trip was a weak call, but the embellishment was ridiculous and goes to the integrity of the game. It's not just one Canadian, it's too many in the NHL. I,don't care who wins, I'm neither Canadian n9r Swedish. I just dislike it when a game as beautiful as hockey is marred by the FIFA worthy diving.

Fair. Also easy to say it was a ridiculous embellishment when shown in super slow motion.

He saw a stick coming to his face. It was definitely not a penalty, but relax on the integrity of the game stuff.
 
Doesnt matter if can doesnt score on the pp, we cant create qualitychances except bäckström-nylander... no topend depth :(
 
Grönborg is awful. In the World Cup Karlsson had equal icetime in the semifinal as the #5 and #6 dmen.
Same **** here. 4 minutes to go, Canada ices the puck. Puts Joakim Nordström out there, Backstrom and Nylander on the bench. Just awful
 
We had to get relegated to get rid of Grönborg. don't care if we are in the final. We have by far the best team and a world class goalie.
 
lena sundqvist a swedish commentator just accused canada for diving...she said its part of the canadian hockey culture.

Please give it a rest...it's getting tired. You've watched Canada play hockey enough to know that is not our game.

Yes it was horrible, but we've been on the other end of things far more often than most other countries with respect to these kinds of embellishments.
 
Sweden don't even have home ice so coach Grönborg have like one job and that is circulate 5 guys on and off the ice with little regard to what Canada fields at each shift. ****ing loser.
 
I see people complain about a dive? We have had plenty of PP chances, i think we should focus more on that than a wrong ref decension.

Another 6 men penalty? How many penalties have we had now that is because of the coaches? is this Grönborg way of coaching? Then i rather prefer him to go back and not coach.

Maybe not in the culture. But we've seen more and more of it. Whatever it takes to win/get in the opponents head
 
This is an AWFUL game with a dead crowd. Can't tell what's worse between the embellishment leading to 1-1, our players, and the coaching.

I mean I want Sweden to win, but hockey has to be entertaining too. This is not.
