Team Sweden 6 - Team Austria 2

 

[aphyro]

10-0 Sweden should be a pretty easy game.

 

[Tomas W]

7 - 1 Sweden

 

[fredligh]

With klingberg and Landeskog we defintely got what it takes to win it all, elite goalie, 2 elite lines and 2 elite pairings which will be on the ice for 80 % of the time.

 

[Pensionsraddare]

Probably not as much as 10-0, but yeah this should be a pretty onesided game. Maybe we let them score one goal or so like we did against Norway. Would just like to see both Klingberg and Landy running things from start here.

 

[Namejs]

I almost posted that I'm rooting for an upset, but that would almost look like a joke at this point.

 

[member 305909]

One of the games after which people start talking about again that there are too many countries in the tournament.

 

[Primo Victoria]

Lundqvist in the net?

I don't know about "two elite lines". Let's see how they do against good competition first.

On paper they are elite, and yeah of course we have to wait and see, or else i would've written that we are going to win it all

Our two highest scoring forwards from the NHL were the lowest scoring players on their lines this season. Nylander had a very underwhelming season and so did Wennberg. Pettersson had a good year but hasn't looked very sharp at the WC. If that's an elite top-6, then what does Russia or the USA have? Kucherov had way more points this season than our entire top line.

A generational top-9? Atleast the 4 best defensemen defensemen are elite. (OEL, Ekholm, Klingberg, Gus)

 

[theslatcher]

Landeskog - Lindholm - Pettersson line is a go. M.Kempe is 13th forward.

Lill-Nyllet-Wennberg-Bengan
Landeskog-Lindholm-EP
Loui-Lander-A.Kempe
Rasmussen-Krüger-Lindblom
M.Kempe

 

[fouba]

kind of feel like a massacre is coming. rip starkbaum

Lill-Nyllet-Wennberg-Bengan

Loui-Lander-A.Kempe
Rasmussen-Krüger-Lindblom

So that means two KHL players are playing over one NHLer.

 

[Star Ocean]

If bratt comes back i guess rasmussen sits.

 

[EK47]

So that means two KHL players are playing over one NHLer.

I’d easily take Lander and Rasmussen over Mario Kempe.

 

[SoundAndFury]

So that means two KHL players are playing over one NHLer.

Who played in the KHL more than he has in the NHL...

 

[BalticWarrior]

So that means two KHL players are playing over one NHLer.

Just playing in the NHL doesnt necessarily make you a better player than someone from Europe.

 

[Jayan]

Lets do this!

 

[Rangers79]

I just hope Lundqvist has a good game

 

[Star Ocean]

I’d easily take Lander and Rasmussen over Mario Kempe.

Kempe has looked better than Rasmussen imo. But it is not a big difference

 

[Jeppe950]

Already two goals. Hopefully it won't get too ugly.

 

[Lambo]

Looks like the same game like Russia vs Italy.
