GDT: Group A - May 16 - Sweden (4) vs. Slovakia (2)

[21]

It's very sad with the extremely poor ice during WC. :-(

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Kruger scoring more points in this tournament than in his entire career.

Of course it matters. Getting the Swedes frustrated is a free ticket into the game for the slovaks.

Sweden is qualified and the slovaks are pretty bad. If this was the final it would be a disaster.

I didn't say it doesn't matter, just that it doesn't matter much... There really is not a lot to play for in this game and even than Slovaks are really weak, Sweden seems to be playing their 50% at best and its still enough.

 

[hallonskal]

Nice goal from Everberg, he has done really well so far.

Could be the difference between facing Switzerland or facing the Czechs in the qf.

Not much of a difference TBH

Not much of a difference TBH

So you really think that NHL players like Voracek, Sobotka, Pastrnak, Mrazek or even Plekanec are not going to significantly evelate their play come play-off time and against very tough opponent like Sweden or USA?

 

[Macbanan]

Bäckström. Good patience, bad aim...

I hope they will, I'm not convinced though... We have been pretty inconsistent so far, we'll see how we do against the Swiss, that will tell a lot.

The refs are bribed to not get sweden get any PPs. Same as last 2 games. Ridiculous

I'm really starting to wonder. It's one thing that Sweden is getting a lot of questionable penalties, but the opponent not getting a single one? It's like the refs don't apply the same rules for both teams.

NHL reffing aka the refs are fixing the games

A slovak just hooked söderberg without a call

 

[bDtKarlsson]

The new slovak goalie is keeping them in the game

 

[Bloomfield*]

Still no calls for sweden. This is a scandal!!!!

 

[hallonskal]

Usually it will even out but it is like the refs are always doing strange stuff every single game so far, and it always goes against Sweden, never against our opponents. It is getting rather suspicious.

 

[Bloomfield*]

Nylander was held in the corner no call

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Haha they couldn't ignore that one

 

[Bloomfield*]

Wow a call. 3 morw slovak pp after this then.

 

[21]

Sweden playing ok, dominating out there but Slovaks defending pretty good.

Hopefully Sweden gets through in the third.

 

[Mauler]

The referee's are an absolute disgrace are they really that bad??

 

[bDtKarlsson]

The whole thing with the ice in this arena is a farce. They really placed "guards" on the ice to prevent sabotauge? Why can't they just admit that the temperature in the arena is to high?

 

[Jeppe950]

Oh god dont do that

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Best defence in the world strikes again
