GDT: Group B • Dec. 29 • Sweden vs. Russia

[c9gunner]

good game so far

 

[JoeyBeans]

why?

New to hockey?

 

[Leafidelity]

why?

Hit him in the head and the Swedish kid didn't even touch the puck before. Seemed like the Russian kid was hoping he would.

The TSN replay looked ugly

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Did they miss it or did they rule it as accidental contact? It didn't look accidental to me.

 

[spacemanatee]

That was a collision.

yeah. an intentional collision by the russian player

 

[cska78]

That was a collision.

exactly

 

[matzz]

nice hockey in first period....im very impressed of Nylander, there is a coming star.

 

[spacemanatee]

missed it.

 

[cska78]

New to hockey?

yup, about 30 year new, you?

 

[Auzzie19]

Nylander's first 3 steps outclass everyone else in this tournament. MacKinnon like acceleration. So explosive!

 

[Farnham4top6]

Why are people screaming about the collision, the russian is just defending himself from crazy swede who is skating straight into him. Hopefully he learned to keep his head up.

Yes, very nice skating !

 

[JoeyBeans]

Well, when I watched the Swedes on the opening sequence of the game, I cringed, but they got it together and played well. So did Russia, the latter part of the period.

It's always exciting when they play - didn't last year's SF match end in a brawl.

 

[IAGTTAYM]

He went for the hit because he thought Bristedt was getting the puck. He didnt get the puck, so it's interference, and there was blood. 2+2 min imo.

Can't give 2+2 for interference.

 

[cska78]

and 1 year of North American hockey?

yes you right, 20

 

[zeke]

sweden is good.

 

[yarre]

Aho = amazing. Really smart player with the puck, makes really good decisions. Is he really undrafted?

Hägg = dangerous in his own zone way too much when he has the puck. Don't like him.

Yeah, it did. And Gronborg went beserk. Water bottles were flying.

 

[ViD]

I hate Sweden, it looks like every time we play them, they win by one goal with us not scoring a bunch of 100% chances

 

[Jonsson]

We really need to stop giving the puck away in our own zone.

Yeah like the final 2012 where we outshot you 50-12 or something like that.

it did. i dunno why, but russia & sweden (at both senior & junior level) seems to hate each other
