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

[The Blue Baron]

Heinola player of the game. Deserved one.

Jet draft pick or not, he really was critical to the Finn result.

 

[c9gunner]

Finnish staff seemed very angry.

they were expecting beautiful custom wallets, not some ugly Tissot watches

 

[AvatarAang]

This PA announcer has had better days.

#4...er #3

Screw it imma just say all 3 names without letting anyone applaud

Oh shit i should probably wait a second before naming the second player


Is the announcer working from home or something, how can you be that bad at your job

 

[Lambo]

This was since middle of 2nd to the end a "forced march" by the finns.

 

[Fatass]

and the coach let him played! knows he gonna cost us!

Can’t argue with that. I think the other Swedish goalie was better too.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

The better team won, Finland played as a team, Sweden seemed to play more like a collection of talented players. The Finns had the edge in coaching.

 

[Rydan]

fire everyone exept the video guy

 

[TorontoMedia]

Sweden should be embarrassed with how they played this year. That’s all I have to say.

Holtz and Raymond were also the 2 most disappointing prospects in the tournament. Tough look, they deserved to lose

 

[Ola]

Congrats to the Finns, they deserved this one. This Swedish team just didnt have the personnel to play to their strength after they lost their top two centers who are very puck smart and could enable to team to play more of a possession game. A few disappointing showings on D for Sweden, overall they just couldn’t handle the onslaught.

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

Got to ask the question,will Tobias Bjornfot be heading to LA now?

No. He has decided to become a soccer player.

Raymond was good, not sure what you are talking about.

May I introduce you to Cole Caufield?

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

WHAT?!

Costmar, Bjornfot and Soderstrom the tournament's best players for Team Sweden?!

There were literally 5 forwards better than Costmar (Raymond, Gunler, Holmstrom, Soderblom, Niederbach) and after the first 2 games Bjornfot and Soderstrom's play dropped off considerably.

Raymond was likely playing hurt, but i was expecting a lot more from Holtz, he was very disappointing.

 

[Del Preston]

It's common for teams coming off a 54-game heater to lose their next three or four games.

 

[romelson]

Bright spot for me this tourney was Frölunda players Söderblom and Raymond delivering. Rest of them can fock the right off.

Well spoken like a true Gothenburg homie.

 

[ponder]

Raymond was disappointing, Lundell has been much better.

I was talking about Sweden-specific awards for the game and tourney, so not sure how Lundell is relevant.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Sweden had 12 shots on goal in the first period, before Finland's tying goal, Sweden had 19 shots on goal...
Sweden had only 7 (6 in the 2nd) shots on goal for most of the 2nd & 3rd period...

 

[BigBadBoar]

After the first period, I was 90 % sure Sweden is going to win this. But as the game went on, their skating was getting worse and worse. Like if they run out of gas at certain point in the 2nd. The Finns dominated the 2nd and 3rd, and the result is fully deserved for them.

 

[Civetty]

It befalls me the Sweden isn’t more successful in this tournament!

I mean they produce top notch talent year in year out! I don’t get it.

They need better coaching.

Elmer. Love that hockey player name. Classic!

Because we are Swedes, we have never had much of a winning culture within sports in my opinion, I'm starting to believe we do better in senior because the NHL teaches our guys some winning mentality.

 

[canswetoxic]

fire everyone exept the video guy

Well, his is the Edmonton Video Coach!

 

[Auston Marlander]

The team that wanted it more won. Well done

can’t blame individuals, this was clearly a coaching issue in my eyes. I would’ve kept the captain on the bench until he decided to act like one! Or simply embarrass him and strip him of the C.

the coaching did not work, they had no control.
But we also played a determined team Finland and they sure played like a team.

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

Viro was so good, defensively he'll have his errors but when you can fly like he can he'll do damage wherever he plays.

 

[SUX2BU]

Wow, way to go Finland
