GDT: Group A - May 8 - Sweden (3) vs USA (4)

[Kshahdoo]

What a stupid penalty

 

[Iceman]

I tuned in for the last 5 last minutes of the game... all of it on the kill, help.

 

[oooooooooohCanada]

Lol @ Carl Klingberg and William Karlsson being the 5th and 6th skaters coming out on the ice trying to tie it.. Nylander on the bench. Great coaching.

 

[Hennessy]

Was unaware boarding is relevant if a guy turns his back to the hit.

 

[PTmbp13]

Divelarkin.

 

[Spender]

In the end it was our inability to capitalize on all the chances that did us in. Having that much zone time and so many power plays without getting it done.

 

[joe89]

This looks like your average U18/U20 Sweden-USA game when Grönborg is the coach. Which means that USA will probably win by one, OT or SO.

It's like clockwork.

 

[scotian1]

So unlike Sweden to be so undisciplined. They basically wasted any chance they had in the last 5 minutes.

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Well, weird game to loose. We have a lot to work on.

 

[Eye of Ra]

swedish coaches are all bad. we need a foreign coach.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Grönborg just has to go. I have to agree, his La Cocaracha hockey doesn't make anyone happy when it comes to wins.

 

[fredligh]

Have Grönborg won anything in his coaching career? i truly dislike him, destroyed the u20 team and now the nt....

yeah. Swedes owned yankees but hey if you dont score on your chanses. Good win USA.

 

[LiveeviL]

Give me an ANA and WSH loss now, we need more forwards with some killer instinct.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Good win for USA. Speed and skill.

No. It screams loser all over him

 

[rickardr]

Larkin just got shot in the corner?

 

[SenzZen]

Gaudreau looks like a monster next to that award presenter!

LOL La cocaracha hahaha. I dont know about him but this game was meh. He doesnt suck. They outplayed Usa and vs Russia it was so close game it could been a W

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Btw, quite good goaltending from usa. I guess that's a part of all the missed chances.

 

[Spender]

I wish we'd go the route of US and Canada and assign a league coach for tournaments like these. Rönnberg or Hallam would be a big improvement over Grönborg.

 

[VictorLustig]

Want to see Klingberg on the 1st PP and stop making those ridiculously long drop passes.

Still a pretty good game I thought, probably should have won this one.

 

[Eye of Ra]

La cocaracha....

 

[Matte99]

Impressed with Omark for the first time in ... god knows how long... since his rookie season in Edmonton. Setting up 5 - 6 quality scoring chances and his reversed hit on Riemsdyk hahaha.

The swedish team looks like they are suffering from the heat. The passing game is all over the place and Söderberg + Edler looks like they should have gone golfing...

 

[FlareKnight]

That was really a bad way to lose a game. Though I don't know what the Swedish coach was thinking at times either.

Credit to the US. They battled back, took the lead, and while they took a lot of penalties they didn't take them in the last 3 minutes .
