GDT: May 1 • Czech Republic vs. Sweden

[joe89]

Sjögren was our best player though so the other's have some work to do. Möller-Ericsson-Lindström as expected will probably lead the way. OEL-Klefbom need to work on their chemistry, OEL was very good individually though.

pshh should have put Hertl in for the last shot, weak shot but still a great game and rally by the Czechs

 

[admire]

This kind of game is why I love this tourney.

absolutely! This is a great great tournament

Lander should get a different winger too

Agree...forsberg is so talented but there is no excuse for lack of effort....especially when you made the mistake leading to the chance

 

[maclean]

never mind, we pretty much stole that one point so I'm alright with the loss

agreed

 

[McCullogh]

Fantastic show. Wish every game in the tournament was like this.

 

[TommySalo]

Phew,win for Sweden.
I am pleased,but Marts and the team must improve.

 

[admire]

Another great win for hockey!

 

[MoonDragn]

How did Josefson look?

 

[aphyro]

that's so low man

Haha sorry

I'm so mad on my team... they loss a leading and almoste lost the game

 

[Rare Jewel]

Fantastic game.

Proves that 200x100 hockey is and can be exciting.

 

[Jablkon]

Great game. We played wtih heart which is a good sign. Some good work on offence, big room for improvement in D. Good start for Sweden, their offence will get better every game....

 

[PTmbp13]

What a game ! Gongrats to Sweden. OEL best on the ice tonight...

Oel is ALWAYS best

Real kool game. Paaarty in Sweden!!!

 

[zombie kopitar]

How did Josefson look?

The only guy who didn't beat Salak in the shootout....that's pretty bad

 

[GotTheMovesLikeJagr]

Faen og helvete!!! Painful way to end a game!

Well, at least better to get a point than none at all... And it was a exciting game.

 

[Tomas W]

What a game ! Gongrats to Sweden. OEL best on the ice tonight...

best skater perhaps but lost to many puckbattles in his own end. He looked like a tall Karlsson today.

 

[Aceonfire*]

Congrats Sweden.

How did Lander and Klefbom look?

 

[PTmbp13]

Fantastic game.

Big ice is better. mOe hockey. Less dump it and chase. Boring.

 

[MoonDragn]

The only guy who didn't beat Salak in the shootout....that's pretty bad

OUCH! LOL He did so well in the regular season in the shootout with the Devils I guess it was bound to happen. I see he got an assist though.

 

[Urbanskog]

What a terrific game!

 

[Hemsky001]

I don't mind the loss but you injured Jagr you b's and that I mind very much!!! Duck you Swedes!

 

[aphyro]

Fantastic game.

Proves that 200x100 hockey is and can be exciting.

Big ice is way better... more technical hockey

Big ice is better. mOe hockey. Less dump it and chase. Boring.

agree

 

[maclean]

Salak is awful, I don't think I've ever seen a goaltender get beaten below the blocker while standing up like that.

I really hope Pavelec starts next game.

he made some good stops when sweden was pushing back, but otherwise i'm inclined to agree, give OP a start against Latvia, based on that choose who goes in for canada

 

[jcbio11]

Great game and a great first day of the World Championship! Hope day 2 is going to be great as well.

 

[Tomas W]

Looked like a WJC game, poor D decisions, fast pace and entertaining.

 

[joe89]

Congrats Sweden.

How did Lander and Klefbom look?

Rough games. Klefbom's man scored two, even if it was broken plays. Lander's line has had 0 practices together so I expect them to be better later on.
