GDT: Group B - May 18 - Sweden vs Switzerland *Mod Warning Post 55*

[PatrikBerglund]

It's weird seeing #92 in Sweden, but not on Nylander's jersey.

 

[aphyro]

did you know there's always an opponent on the ice?

Regardless it's true what he is saying.

 

[theslatcher]

like the 2:1 for sweden where nylander slew footed hischier prior to the goal? sure mate...

Maybe you should learn what a slew foot is.

 

[McCoy]

Nylander is a special player when he's at his best

Nyllet is better than the father play ice hockey father Nyllet was at least 10 years by Swedish rinks.

 

[deVolt]

Sure

 

[Chimpradamus]

Larsson was never a defensive defenseman. Didnt he outscore Hedman and Dahlin? He got ruined by the Devils and the Oilers didnt exactly help him.

Yes, he has always been a two-way defenseman. In the NHL he "became" a defensive defenseman. No Swedish top defenseman has a specific role, they want to play hockey.

This is a good match by two good teams but the outcome of this match doesn't matter.

The game number 8 is which decides whether your tournament has been good or a disappointment.

 

[exeswiss]

Regardless it's true what he is saying.

if the remaing games from the swiss will be overwhelming defeats i will agree with you, if they are as close as this one, i don't.

 

[aphyro]

Jossi what a player

 

[deVolt]

This is not so far from being the best team sweden can have, so consider that, i think overall it is a pretty ****ty preformance. The only one i think plays really good is Nylander. He has played like a true superstar in the tournament so far. Hard to belivie that he has had a really bad season in NHL.

not true

 

[aphyro]

Well as I excpected Sweden win this game.

 

[swisdan]

Damned... we cannot again Sweden

the Devils used Larsson as a defensive dman and he was easily our best defender in his last year with us... and he got us Hall with his performance.... it's not the Devils fault that the Oilers threw him into a no system team... when the Oilers turn it around, Larsson will stand out and the trade wont look so bad

 

[Chimpradamus]

What a game. I loved every minute of it. Switzerland truly deserves to be called an A team, we can ignore rankings. If you're an A team you're an A-team. And again, I have such a soft spot for Swiss hockey, that tries to replicate Swedish hockey how you win a game. It's always so cool playing Switzerland, we have much more than hockey in common as countries.

 

[canswetoxic]

I have a feeling that Sweden VS Swiss in final rematch.

 

[Hybbe]

These iihf player of the game selections are often headscratchers, how's Josi not potg?

 

[jj cale]

Pleasant game to watch, good hockey!!

Overall,very little bitching about the reffing too, so refreshing. Of course I know when that will change.

 

[aphyro]

I don't know Russia got a great team.

Russia wants a word.

This could have easily been a tie, and then all bets would be off in OT. Offensive wise, great game by the team: serious chances were created. The defensive aspect: pretty brutal. The good point is that we can improve that. GG to Sweden.

 

[NinjaKick]

very entertaining game, especially after the snooze fest between Canada and Germany... gonna have to watch the games from both teams now

It was a couple of years ago but I seem to recall that the Devils benched him when he made mistakes. That's no way to develop a young defender with offensive skills. Correct me if Im wrong.

Bäckström
Forsberg
Arvidsson
William Karlsson
Erik Karlsson
Lehner
Zibanejad
Backlund
Hedman
Rakell

That’s ten players four of them centers you don’t think it is seriously crippling for the offense when you’re missing your three best centers?

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

When is next game?
