GDT: Quarterfinal • Jan. 2 • Sweden vs. Finland • Part II

[Joe MacMillan]

Your PP looked awfully dangerous. I'm amazed by the fact that the Finns didn't even score once, that's just bad luck.

Are you serious?

 

[Humppaknight]

Completely opposite.

It's really doesn't matter whos win,
most important thing is that sweden lose, always. Always.

 

[trick9]

Maybe he is talking about the single one where they hit the post and had it cleared off the line once.

Otherwise it was hopeless.

Thats a pretty sad attitude to have.

 

[Mara]

Congrats to Sweden. Killer PP. A nice tourney for Finland, good tough games, some kids showing promise, entertaining as always. Until next time!

Yeah, think he must have seen that one aswell. They looked dangerous on that one, skill was obviously there. Lacking something else.

A lot focus on Nylander, but this swedish team have tons of talent beside Nylander. The 96 generation is perhaps the best ever from sweden. For a example Lindblom and Kempe are top talents. Hope that not more than Nylander plays in NHL next year.

Finlands played good and it was a even game, but they had the same problem in this game like they have had in this whole tournament, it do not matter if you play good if you do not score.

But they have some interesting players like Rantanen and Honka and also that Puljujärvi.

No. This Should be attitube all of the Finns

Structure, movement, shots on net, proper screens...maybe something else too?

Everything seems dangerous when it's against your own team.

You had one PP tho when the game was still 3-2 that was really good, hitting the post and applying pressure.

 

[aphyro]

Hmm i wounder how god the Swedish team would be without players from the north part of this countery!

 

[Scrobble]

Pathetic.

 

[behemolari]

No it's not. I hate sweden (as a country/monark) too and wish they fail pretty much everything they do, and I feel absolutely joy when that happens. However all swedes I've met have been really nice people, nothing to against them..

it's not for everyone.. just for the ones who understand big picture

We swedes on the other hand are only happy to see East Sweden succeed once in a while.

Nah. Sweden > Russia usually.

 

[Ville231]

Nah. Sweden > Russia usually.

Yep.

Sweden > Russia
Russia > USA
USA > Sweden

 

[Czech Yourself Pal]

When you go 0-22 on PP and don't respond accordingly it's all on the coach.

They made absolutely no adjustments. I don't know if Jortikka is the right coach for this particular tournament. 0-22 on the Powerplay is just unacceptable.

Finland PP=Beyond S***

Sweden PP= Pretty much Automatic. Finland should take some notes.

Maybe that's it. Felt like Honka, Puljujärvi or Rantanen could rip one home any second, their skill is obvious.

 

[ulvvf]

Kemp falls under the PP category though since he is pretty much invisible outside of it. It's a one line team and special teams that has to do it for success.

Kempe is dominating in 5v5, so I can not say that I agree with you.

However to next game I want to see Grönborg give Olofsson much more ice-time, he is creating chances almost every shift, but hardly get any ice-time.

 

[Tomas W]

Finland was better 5 v5. Good thing there is a lot of calls in this tournament.

No, it is pathetic to have irrational hatred for a nation without reason. Wishing Sweden to fail in hockey is one thing, but hating the country just because is definitely pathetic.

 

[Slimmy]

Yep.

Sweden > Russia
Russia > USA
USA > Sweden

True. Like a game of "sten, sax, påse"

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Was Sweden missing any skaters when they played Canada before the tournament? Because I was not impressed with that team, but they look so good now.

 

[Kharkov]

Thanks. And good luck to North Syria too.

Thats funny.

Yep.

Sweden > Russia
Russia > USA
USA > Sweden

Both Sweden and USA > Russia for me.

Canada - Sweden final is best possible final. Or Denmark - Sweden would be something too... Going to cheer for Sweden in semis.
