GDT: May 14 • Quarterfinal • Sweden vs. Russia

[vippe]

Russia is the better team, refs Doesnt need to help them. Rather silly at this point

 

[LiveeviL]

Forsberg in the box? For what?

a handful rubles more?

 

[mattihp]

Stop the ref bashing and start winning the game!

 

[1Gold Standard]

IIHF officiating is so grossly incompetent.

 

[Healthy DiPietro]

At least Finland is down too, I can take this if they lose.

 

[LiveeviL]

I agree, esp. the part that the refs don't need to help our neighbour

 

[Salavat Yulaev]

For getting crosschecked in the back 5 times.

really? he is a martyr if to believe you

 

[Nordic*]

It's not fair that Panarin will play on the only great Chicago next season.

Spread the wealth, damnit!

 

[Arthur]

Forsberg in the box? For what?

For not stopping and charging into the goalie with his skates..?

 

[BlitzSnipe]

What's with the Swedish team today? They don't seem to be playing at their best at all.

 

[Eye of Ra]

lander is a troll.

 

[ulvvf]

I really don't want to play the blame/excuse game, but it's sad that the stars of Sweden always seem to find a way to escape the WC - or they aren't even invited, while the stars of Russia always ALWAYS come to represent their nation.

Sweden has no national pride left, Russia has it oozing out of its every pore...

I mean..

Excluding Washington, Calgary & Montreal who pretty recently got knocked out of the SC.

Nyqvist-Zetterberg-Forsberg

Steen-Sedin-Sedin

Eriksson-Zibanejad-Hornquist

Lander-Berglund-Landeskog


Kronwall-Karlsson

Brodin-OEL

Enstrom-Larsson

Pretty sure Edler and Karlsson would play togehter if all that could would have come.

Edler, Klingberg, Ekholm and Ericsson over Enström and Larsson.

Söderberg and Lindholm (maybe also sjögren consider how he have played in this tournament) over Lander and Berglund.

But yeah I got your point

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Motto of this game so far - offence is the best defence?

 

[stolpioni*]

What's with the Swedish team today? They don't seem to be playing at their best at all.

Maybe because they're playing with their junior team?

 

[aphyro]

Feels way more dangerous when the Russians atk

 

[BlitzSnipe]

there was a clear penalty there on the Russian defenceman, but I guess the refs don't want to interfere anymore.

 

[joe89]

Rask trying to do his part. If only others would.

 

[Eye of Ra]

möller hits again. he might be small, but what a warrior he is.

 

[Nordic*]

What's with the Swedish team today? They don't seem to be playing at their best at all.

Ever since the first period against Canada, Sweden has looked like garbage aside from OEL and Forsberg.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

the Swedes just started playing.

 

[aphyro]

there was a clear penalty there on the Russian defenceman, but I guess the refs don't want to interfere anymore.

Serriously stop this ref talk we all know the ref sucks harder than a pornstar... but they are equaly bad.

your team could do better - they only started playing 30 minutes into the game.

Edler is not at all as good on big ice. He needs to play with a safe partner. Karlsson shouldn't have to be stuck fixing his positioning.

 

[Salavat Yulaev]

I just saw that Malkin has thrown a puck right into sweden goalie. That's terrible! It is at least 5+20 to Malkin!
