[SurMartin]

This is gonna be brutal.

...Wanna see Burström pick a fight with Coburn or Myers.

 

[Systemfel]

Nygren demoted to 7th D as Gustafsson returns to the Sweden lineup.

 

[Snippit]

What kind of roster is Sweden playing with? Their C-team?

 

[m4tt145]

What kind of roster is Sweden playing with? Their C-team?

No we used that one at the Olympics

 

[Stats01]

Outside of a few I don't recognize anybody on Sweden's team. Who the heck is Dick Axelsson?

 

[Systemfel]

Outside of a few I don't recognize anybody on Sweden's team.

It's basically an SHL all-star team, with a few depth NHLers and fringe NHL goalies in there.

Who the heck is Dick Axelsson?

You don't wanna know...

 

[fredligh]

It's basically an SHL all-star team, with a few depth NHLers and fringe NHL goalies in there.You don't wanna know...

Exactly, to bad MÃ¥rts did not prior younger talents from the NHL/AHL. Would be nice to see our young guns in action...

 

[M4TR1X]

Let's go Turris!

 

[m4tt145]

PP Sweden!

 

[M4TR1X]

The PK for Canada looked weak but thankfully Scrivens made some good saves.

 

[M4TR1X]

Beauty plays by Ellis. Nice hit.

 

[MTLAzzurri]

Outside of a few I don't recognize anybody on Sweden's team. Who the heck is Dick Axelsson?

Sounds like a pornstar name.

 

[Cruor]

Dick Axelsson might be the most known name on that Swedish team. Mårts face when Andersén took that penalty

 

[m4tt145]

Nilsson looks good.

 

[EK47]

Fransson should be benched. He was good earlier in the tournament but now he just looks lost

 

[m4tt145]

Lindström!

 

[TheStinger]

Is this Lindstrom character linked to any NHL clubs?

 

[M4TR1X]

Ugh.. So far nothing special about Canada's special teams.

 

[DrunkElkCZ]

Great play by Lindstrom

 

[Merla]

Möller-Lindström are dominating every shift..

 

[M4TR1X]

Is this Lindstrom character linked to any NHL clubs?

He was drafted back in '02 by CBJ. Did some time with them PHX, and Avs but plays in Sweden now.

 

[m4tt145]

Penalty shot...

 

[vippe]

Lindström is a great player, too bad he didnt really make it in the NHL. He's money on big ice though..

Penalty shot incoming

 

[Cruor]
