GDT: Gold Medal Game - May 21 - Canada vs Sweden

[21]

Wow, William, fantastic attempt, world class

Nylander is a god on the PP. I am not used to fearing him. I'm not sure how to feel right now lol

Nylander is freaking fun to watch, just made Parayko look silly.

I think this excellent Swedish roster is a bit too much for a WC version of Team Canada that is a above average, but just a notch too far from their top roster to compete against such Swedish representation.
The 2015 WC version of Team Canada would probably be a bit more appropriate against a close to best Swedish roster like that.
I see Sweden winning.

Great play by duchene.

If the pace stays the same the refs will have arse free chaps bye the second period

 

[FFHockey]

Is it just me, or does it seem like both Giroux and Duchesne are shadows of their former selves as players.

(now watch them both have great games...reverse jinx??)

They both have the skill to show flashes of brilliance but they don't dominate the game like they did a few years ago.

Joel loves physical games like this, Landeskog too

 

[Privet]

Were the fans just chanting "Russia" followed by boos?

 

[A1LeafNation]

Pace is like game 7

 

[jj cale]

What a game so far!!

Hardly a whistle.

 

[hallonskal]

Great game so far, I hope they keep it up all game.

 

[leaflover]

Need the commercial break just to catch my breath.

 

[21]

Simmonds, Giroux and O'Reilly on the same line, scary

 

[Canuckistani]

Sweden takes this 4-2

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Eriksson Ek has started the game promising. Hope he can get a goal out of that energy.

 

[ijuka]

Sweden should try using the Rask-Bäckström-Lundqvist line. It should work in theory.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Letting Nylander and Backstrom go on the PP is a good way for Canada to lose

 

[Edgelord]

incoming Nylander point/goal

 

[Urgi]

Fun game so far

 

[21]

We have to utilize our chances and score on this pp

 

[Canuckistani]

Canada's lack of discipline will be the difference

 

[PenDuhNotPittsburgh]

Rooting for canada. It always looks better if you lose against the champions
