GDT: Quarter Final | Finland Vs Sweden | 1/2 @ 1:30PM | TSN/NHLN

[theslatcher]

I'm more worried about our forwards. They scored 0 goals last game. You can't ask for Hugo to save every single shot. To win, you just need to score more goals than the opponent. It's just as bad to miss a really good scoring chance (like an open net) as it is to let in a soft goal.

Eh, a soft goal in a tight game is much worse than missing a HD chance. The offense can always generate a new HD chance and try to score anew as long as the game permits it, but a goalie can never scrub off that GA no matter how many shots are saved afterwards.

With that said, the forwards need to play to their ability. A big part of awakening it though is most likely lineup changes, which, good luck with that. Otherwise you're looking mostly at the defensemen to make up for it, like Sandin in the knockout rounds last year. Time for Söderström to start taking over games.

Sweden has no coach, so thats mean Finland wins ?

I'm not sure Finland has a coach either. The way Pennanen keeps glancing nervously about and trying to disappear inside his collar, he looks like a disguised space alien who is worried that his cover is about to be blown.

 

[McClelland]

Will be a 50-50 game, Sweden the better team but very impressed by Lundell, a coming 2-3 C in the Nhl.

I hadnt started Alnefeldt but the guy was best goalie last year, and been good in Shl this season. He has also a lot of confident.

He had 8 shots against him vs Austria, think he was rusty and got a bad start against Usa!

3-2 Sweden in OT!

 

[Prntscrn]

Niederbach in the first line atleast, but by the sound of it Niederbach and Sundsvik switching lines sounds like the only change

Praise be!

If Sweden really wants to win they'll play Soderblom more.

 

[Skolman]

Idk if this is a good thing as an Oiler fan, his injury seems to be getting worse every game

 

[lanky]

Can a mod please add the time zone to the thread titles?

 

[Auto Pilot]

Swedens coach is a special kind of shit Eh? Going back to the goalie that lost you the last game a minute into it?

 

[ORRFForever]

Hope Sweden to win. Expect Finland to win.

Borderline suicidal. He cannot skate at all with whatever injury he has...

 

[canswetoxic]

Oucch Anelfelt in net.
Broberg which couldnt even move due to the injury is playing.

What to you think? It's just suicidal.

 

[swedehollow]

Praise be!

Still would have liked Raymond and Holtz separated. But, maybe I'll eat crow about it. I would eat it happily.

Yes please.

And maybe JAN 2nd too. I am tired and was confused by the title

 

[pigpen65]

What's up with the game times in these titles?

Still amazes me they put Bjorselius ahead of Olausson , Sweden's lines don't appear to be fully firing yet even the top line, we'll see if they can get it going

 

[The Blue Baron]

So according to many of you both these teams aren’t coached so that cancels itself out

My feeling is Sweden has been trending downwards to 2 games in a row. Finns in a close!

should be loads of passion in this one!

Most of the world have figured it out, but not easy for folks still using yards, Fahrenheit, and football fields referring to a sport where you mostly use your hands.

On topic: Alnefelt needs to step up big if there's to be a chance.

(to be fair: Canada is almost sane, mostly using standards such as C and km/h)

Lambert will explode this game

[romelson]

WTF, is this game broadcasted only through Viaplay (for Sweden) ?
And they dont have pay-per-game?

Alnefelt gets the start.

Excellent news. But for whom?

 

[king89]
