GDT: QF - SWE vs. FIN May 23, 2024

[mattihp]

Sweden does not really generate quality pressure. I thought they'd open much more comprehensive than this.

 

[Luolis]

Thats... soft.

 

[Shocker]

Haha, 2 joke penalties so far.

 

[Miro4Norris]

Wow .

 

[agent082]

Isn't that slashing?

 

[Miro4Norris]

IIHF getting tired of Finns dominating with nameless teams?

 

[king89]

Lol we won't get a single powerplay in this game

 

[Finnswiss]

I wish the Finns good luck but if they cannot create scoring chances and score they will lose latest in OT but I think earlier. Sweden will sooner or later score, and Larmi won't stop all shots on his goal.
It seems they are, as expected, under pressure from Sweden. Sweden shot 14 times on the Finnish goal while Finland only 5 times. So far it's like against Austria, Switzerland, and the Czechs. You can't win if you don't score.

By the way, is Björninen playing now in the position of Granlund?

Finland playing like this will focus offense in short stretches. It looks more like Finland like we know from earlier champs. Swedish is shooting pretty much as I've expected but the shots are of lesser quality.

 

[Zaar]

How this game is still 0:0 is baffling,

How this game is still 0:0 is baffling,

Why?

 

[mattihp]

Dahlin is so intelligent.

 

[Gsus]

Not wanting to say this but this game screams OT.

Sweden still no penalties, counted about 4 atm.

 

[agent082]

Diving

 

[theslatcher]

Isn't that slashing?

No, it's under interference in the rulebook.

Swedish goal incoming

 

[Zaar]

Why?

This looks like PP at even strength at times.

 

[Brunkmeister]

Well the game is just as predicted apart from the scoreboard…

 

[1specter]

Haven't been able to watch games this year but am curious about how Holmberg has looked, I see he's put up 6 assists in 7 games. Thoughts on his overall play from the more in tune Swedish fans?

 

[Finnswiss]

The PK works so far by the Finns. They have already played twice 5 on 4 and didn't get a goal.

 

[FinPanda]

This 2nd period is quite tricky for us to just keep defending..

 

[BobRossColton]

Would Larmi be an NHL backup?

Top 3 swedish forward in the tournament. Extremely strong on the puck.

 

[theslatcher]

We can all enjoy that Johansson hit, however this game goes.

He's been really good. Wins board battles, getting inside positions, sets up his shooters and goes to screen in front of the crease.
