GDT: Group B - May 21 - Sweden vs Russia

[JHB]

Grönborg has always been sour with the media. Maybe it is for the best that this is his last tournament.

Is that confirmed? Who will take over next year?

 

[Eye of Ra]

Is that confirmed? Who will take over next year?

Bengt-Åke.

 

[JHB]

Bengt-Åke.

You serious? I hope not.

 

[Spender]

Montén is the heir of the iron throne. He'll be like Grönborg, except even worse.

 

[ViD]

How the heck we win 7 out of 7 and end up playing Kane aNd Gaudreau?

 

[EK47]

Is that confirmed? Who will take over next year?

Garpenlöv. Popovic wasn't extended so we’ll see a new defensive coordinator aswell and someone will ofcourse take over Garpenlövs role.

 

[EK47]

Montén is the heir of the iron throne. He'll be like Grönborg, except even worse.

Garpenlöv. Montén would be hillarious was fired from the last two clubs he coached.

 

[JHB]

Did you guys know Grönborg is live streaming during the whole tournament? He's on now.

 

[JHB]

By the way just watched the post-game interview with Grönborg and don't see what he did wrong. The female reporter was extremely arrogant. Of course he got a little irritated. I would've reacted worse.

 

[ItWasJustified]

Larsson was the worst player on the ice for Sweden. Pettersson the best.
For some reason Larsson seems to be the guy pinching high this year and OEL is staying behind trying to clean up if things go south. That just isn’t right.

 

[EK47]

Well several players are in competition for that title honestly, but: What stood out was his mistimed pinches. His tendency to get caught trying something he wouldn’t even dream of trying in the NHL. He’s there to do what he’s good at, he’s not there to pretend that he’s Erik Karlsson.

 

[Eye of Ra]

f*** does 2006 do with 2019. you cant use 2006 to say we did it again. no proof of this happend today yet again.

 

[Darnell]

I wasn’t able to catch the game today. How was the play of Elias Pettersson? Im curious about how bad of a day it was for Markstrom as well.

 

[Svedu]

**** does 2006 do with 2019. you cant use 2006 to say we did it again. no proof of this happend today yet again.

That is true, i have no proof of that it would have happened again. I wrote it wouldn´t be the first time.

 

[canswetoxic]

Believe it was the olympics or something? When Forsberg and the greats were playing. This is a known fact, they admitted it afterwards.

blahblahyblah, ancient history.
After so many years the Finns still sour, meeeeeeh.

 

[ItWasJustified]

He was outmuscled most of the game. If he wants people to remember him having a good tournament he has to be a lot better in the quaterfinal and beyond.

 

[ranndino]

Wow, can't remember ever seeing Sweden crumble as they did in the 2nd period. I've said it before in another thread -- this is the best Russian worlds team in quite some time. Loaded with stars, plays as a team & very intense.

Having said all that, for all their good play & winning all of their games their reward is USA in the QF. A dangerous opponent.

 

[ranndino]

Sweden was cruising for much of the Latvia game, I think they will have energy. Still expecting a loss though.

How wrong did you turn out to be? They were cruising? Sometimes I wonder what games people are watching.

 

[RorschachWJK]

That was a surprising show from Sweden. With that powerhouse of a team, I expected much better from them.

Russia seems to be the clear favorite now.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Grönborg has always been sour with the media. Maybe it is for the best that this is his last tournament.

Who cares about the clown media and the mediocrity personified in the form of "journalists"? Grönborg could moon them for all I care. The more disrespect they get, the bigger the chance their huge egos might deflate a bit.

EP played well, smart passing, the view and all that trademark stuff. Markström was not at his top game, as has seen in the Canucks he have those days. In defense on must say that Russia has mustered quite a collection of skilled offensive forwards.

Why so offended?

If there are no surprises in the QFs Sweden and Russia meet again in the semis.

The format has been changed for the semis seeding. And it is hard to understand af. Just saying.
