GDT: May 19 • Italy 1, Sweden 5

[EK47]

Are you seriously asking that question?


If Lindström is out of the tournament then we are in trouble. The first line is not functional without him.

Agreed the Skellefteå chemistry with Backlund was money.

PP getting confidence is pretty much the best thing that could happen with this game.

 

[siegeofshanghai*]

klasen is sooo good.

funny how nashville shat on him.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Italy didn't kill a single penalty today. Elite division quality.

 

[joe89]

It's good that Klasen is following his dream to play in Lugano, so he can play in the World Champs every year.

well he tried hard to take a spot in NHL. But after being well over a PPG in AHL barry trotz gave him like 2 NHL games.

The guy is a better player than Jarnkrok, who ironically has a spot on nashville.

 

[Slimmy]

Hope MÃ¥rts stayes as coach for Tre Kronor for many years to come. I don't know if we've had a better coach in my lifetime. Listening to him makes me confident we have a fighting chance for gold every tourney.

mårts is the best ever to finish 2nd with his teams.

Huh? Gold last year. First time in ages that the host nation takes gold. That's an achievement in and of itself.

no it really isnt. MÃ¥rts has been to 6 big finals (WJC, WHC and olympics), and he managed to win only one. And that was against Switzerland. usually his finals except for switzerland has been a total meltdown for sweden also.

Klasen went home due to concussion?

 

[Eye of Ra]

Klasen went home due to concussion?

no, it was becuse of stenbeck.

 

[Dosing]

no, it was becuse of stenbeck.

Yea but before that i remember he couldn't get into the lineup because the concussion made him slow as hell, think there was an article about it posted on the predator forum.

I can remember one meltdown against Finland. Other than that, huh? The team we could field in the Olympic finals would have needed a minor miracle to beat team Canada. Some people you just can't please..

There is always detalis you can discuss about MÃ¥rts, but he is an upgrade from BÃ…G, I think we can all agree upon that, despite that BÃ…G IS an olympic champion and all (good for him). MÃ¥rts pretty good, he knows how to coach.
