GDT: Group A • Dec. 31 • Canada vs. Sweden • Part II

[Zaddy]

Really impressed by Gustav Forsling. He's going to be a good one.

 

[Snippit]

I'd rather watch the Patterson's than Team Canada this year...

 

[francis246]

Lowry needs to load up that top line Konecny - Barzal - Marner.

 

[MapleLeafs9]

Funny no one saying anything bad about strome, invisible this game

Was just thinking that. Strome has been no where at all. Jeez, nobody can just be clicking at once. If a skilled player is having a good game, another skilled player has to be struggling. Need all of our best players playing their best at the same time.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

I call Sweden the winner of this tournament

Nope

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

I feel like I'm seeing Scott Laughton and the 2013-14 team all over again. No skill, no grit, no anything...

 

[joe89]

So happy we traded away forsling. No need for quality players on the Canucks

The more I see him the more I like him. He's the fifth or sixth highest drafted D on Team Sweden but imo he's by far the best at everything except maybe the PK. He's great under pressure, one of the best attributes you can have today.

 

[Nordic*]

loving what Im seeing from Forlsing today. Especially in his own zone. TY Benning

Yeah, the rich (Chicago) gets richer.

 

[Albi34]

Why does it seem like no one on Canada has half decent shot from the slot?
Serious lack of finish

 

[Alberta Yote]

Funny no one saying anything bad about strome, invisible this game

I will even as a Coyote fan. Easily his worst game of the tournament so far.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

I came in with so much excitement to see marner and strome and other non whl guys(I see the whl guy always) and I can't believe how dissapointed I am.. this whole team has been an extreme bummer

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

What did Marner do? I was downstairs getting coffee and missed the replay?

 

[TLEH]

also, konecny has been Canada's best player I think.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

USA gunna win this thing boys

Canada will get thumped by landfins

 

[Snippit]

Had it not been for the dream team last year, imagine the state Canadian junior hockey would be in.

6 years without a gold, playing like crap this year and next year not looking much better.

 

[stewpac]

Truth is team Canada is a lot like Sweden was last year, super young and depending on one or two players to win the game/tournament. This year Sweden has something like 12 returning players, they're experienced at tournaments like this and its showing.

 

[ShameOnYouZidlicky]

The Swedes move the puck so well. Canada's forecheck has been a non-factor and they cannot sustain any pressure in the offensive zone.

 

[Chimpradamus]

I got scared when there were 2 pages of posters yelling "Marner!" and was sure Canada had scored.

Then I realized it was a hit. Puh!

 

[carlweezer*]

I can't even express further how A Nylander looks. So smart and crafty like his father. Also very explosive.

I wouldn't be surprised if he goes top 5 this year.

Mathews
Puljujarvi
Laine
Chuchryin
Nylander

I would also take A Nylander over Big brother William if the draft happened today.

 

[Classicnamesup]

Canada's inability to score continuing. LOL @ Perlini penalty, what a joke

 

[Zaddy]

The more I see him the more I like him. He's the fifth or sixth highest drafted D on Team Sweden but imo he's by far the best at everything except maybe the PK.

I'd go as far as to say he's probably been the best d-man in the tournament, or at least should be the clear 2nd guy behind Werenski.

 

[topshelf15]

So missing a guy like Macdavid ,our wingers could so use that great center to control the center of theice

 

[BWDude]

If the other team is getting pp like that... of course we'd be losing.

 

[MapleLeafs9]

What did Marner do? I was downstairs getting coffee and missed the replay?

Real huge open ice hit, popped off the Swede player's helmet.

 

[Alerion]

What did Marner do? I was downstairs getting coffee and missed the replay?

Laid a huge hit on Holmstrom (I think)
