GDT: Group B - May 12 - Italy vs Sweden

[Nithoniniel]

All these talk about nylander and pettersson at svt but what about the 2nd line who hasnt done anything?

Lindholm has had an amazing season. He should be driving offense for us, but has been very anonymous through four periods so far.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Tsn is saying nylander is “dancing tonight”

Yet, what I have seen was elias setting him up for like four or five scoring chances, and he keeps missing them.

We need the Nylander to start finishing the nice plays.

That being said he does look pretty good today

Nylander really, really needs to score a nice goal. He has such skills, but he needs to put his past debacle of a season behind him.

Yeesh, it's garbage. Kempe can't center that line. Landeskog and Wennberg will sort that out though.

Lindholm - Wennberg - Landeskog should be decent enough.

 

[Star Ocean]

Pettersson point!

 

[aphyro]

EP40 what a player

 

[PanniniClaus]

Why?

The King is not young...Enroth has played here before and played well. Italy will get no more than 15 shots. Seemed like an easy decision to me.

 

[Canucks LB]

What a pass by elias.
That being said, they really need him as the trigger man.
This team has a lot of play makers, let him be the sniper.

 

[EK47]

Loui is probably our worst forward today yet somehow he has two assists.

 

[Canucks LB]

I wanna see bratt play with ep40
I think they will complement eachother well.
Sweden is not going to go far with these lines, I’m sorry they just wont.

Landeskog looking like he will come

Literally every swede on here agrees with you no reason to apologize.

Sweden always has a couple of games like this in the group stage. How they look against Italy means nothing.

It has nothing about with how they look.
I just don’t like the formations.
Landeskog will fix it tho quite quickly

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Can we add Lucas Raymond & Alexander Holtz?

 

[aphyro]

2-0 against Italy and almost 40 min played... doesnt look good...

 

[Star Ocean]

Wtf hägg

 

[Rangers79]

2-0 against Italy and almost 40 min played... doesnt look good...

they're doing everything but scoring. Italy isn't even in this game.

 

[Canucks LB]

they're doing everything but scoring. Italy isn't even in this game.

I do feel like there along the perimeter way too much this game

 

[Lonny Bohonos]

23 to 2 in shots lol.

Sweden with zero finish

 

[aphyro]

they're doing everything but scoring. Italy isn't even in this game.

I know... but we saw how it went against Czech how will it looks against Russia? Or other good nations... if we can't score against Italy

 

[Nithoniniel]

The first line is creating chances every time they are out there. The rest... not so much.

 

[Macbanan]

The last level of intensity just isn't there. No one wants to get injured in a game like this.

 

[Mauler]

Can we add Lucas Raymond & Alexander Holtz?

The whole u18 team would do alot better than this team thats for sure

 

[Star Ocean]

Hägg is useless and a pylon

 

[Chimpradamus]

I can't be too hard on Sweden. They're still struggling with Grönborg's dice lines and it's tough to create something when you have a classic meatwall in front of you. It's kind of telling some of the best scoring chances happened when Italy had a PP. That Italy won't commit any penalties either, but just try to be in the way, doesn't help.

I would bet all-in with all my money if Italy woould get a breakaway this game. In football, they're playing something like 7-3-0. Italy is trying to kill the game and it's not easy scoring on such a team. It's a constant PP, the only thing changing is how many players Italy has on the ice.

This is what a 6 goalie system looks like. Can't blame them though, they can't win this game and want to keep the scoring down.

 

[Lampedampe]

Let Lindholm center the 2nd line please, Kempe just isn't capable.
