GDT: May 24 • Semifinal • Russia 3, Sweden 1

[Uncle Scrooge]

I'm glad it's guys other than Malkin and Ovechkin who are finding a way to score.

For sure but shouldnt it be concerning how year after year Ovie gets shut down for the most part in these games that matter the most.

 

[m4tt145]

What a save

 

[Fossy21]

Ah, that's a thing.

 

[Bjornee]

What a save

Yeah but he had his glove just there too.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

What. a. save. Bob is just outstanding.

 

[Fossy21]

Sweden don't need both the refereeing and goaltending to go against them, it's uneven enough on the paper.

Goaltending can't be against you, its part of the team.

Anyway, go Sweden!

 

[Jaan]

Couple of nice saves by Nilsson on that PP. Hope he's gotten into form.

Meanwhile, another penalty for Sweden.

 

[MMANumminen]

Anyone else in finland has problems with broadcast or is it just my digibox?

Please?

Game

 

[Killahpunk]

Russia starting to take this game over. 3-1 Rus.

 

[quartus]

KHL >>> SHL right now...

 

[Coldplay619]

**** you eakins

 

[Jussi]

What the hell was that save attempt?

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Game over.

 

[JacobBeans]

Game

Little early imo. Half the game is remaining.

 

[Fossy21]

Game, no way they score 4 on Bob, or score 3 and take it to a shootout

 

[SurMartin]

Swedens NHL-players suck. (Well not completely but I expected a lot more)

 

[m4tt145]

KHL >>> SHL right now...

And here I thought SHL was better than KHL, thanks for leading me into the light. I see it clearly now.

Did I just miss another goal that put the Russians 3 ahead?

 

[Bjornee]

So its us today and finns tomorrow. Sorry finns, silver this year..

 

[Fossy21]

Well, obviously. The thing is a goalie can be completely locked in or completely off, and if one is true for one team and the opposite for the other, you'll need an exponentially larger amount of scoring chances to have a chance to win. If Bob was slightly off and Nilsson played like in certain games of the group stage, it could've been 2-1 Sweden.

I didn't say KHL > SHL,

I said >>> which meant much better.

We don't even have that yet. Beating Czechs is far from a given, and there's still time on the clock here as well. I don't think anyone is going to beat Russia though, but anything can happen.

 

[Fossy21]

Did I just miss another goal that put the Russians 3 ahead?

No, but you apparently missed the fact that Sweden has already scored one, so tying the game up would require putting 3 (two more) behind Bob.
