GDT: Quarterfinal • Sweden vs. Slovakia

[Svinet]

3-0, sorry but this game is too easy for a QF

 

[aphyro]

Should have been a penaltyshoot

 

[Nordic*]

How important is Ollas-mattsson?

Our strongest defenceman, important on PK for instance.

 

[WilliamNylander]

What a great shift by Timashov.

Such elite patience

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

What a great shift by Timashov.

Such elite patience

not very effective tho

Sure, but he needs to give and go, not just hold onto the puck all the time.

 

[Macbanan]

What a great shift by Timashov.

Such elite patience

Nah he was trying to do something the hard way when there was an easy way. Fun player though.

 

[WilliamNylander]

I agree with you guys that he should opt for the simpler play sometimes but it seems like Sweden knows they'll win and are being a bit more fancy now. They are really dominating the puck possession game, impressive.

 

[aphyro]

the Slovake keeper is the player of the game.

 

[Pyromaniac]

It's amazing how well Sweden has adapted despite frequent injuries. IMO they are the favorite this year. I have to say I really underestimated how good this team is.

Yeah we have had bad luck about the injuries! but still i have USA as favorit for the gold.

 

[Prntscrn]

Refs for real?

edit: oh thought it was goalie interference they took him for

 

[Nordic*]

Penalty for....what?

 

[gretskidoo]

I really like Grundstrom.

 

[JFG]

Boring game. Way too loopsided.

 

[ulvvf]

That they said about Sedins, Forsberg, Nylander etc also.

Btw, I think him and Nylander has been pretty effective against the best team.

 

[Appleyard]

Boring game. Way too loopsided.

Seems like they already started resting players in the mid 2nd as well.

 

[Nordic*]

Our fourth line is the only one who's actually skating hard and aren't fiddling around like it's a practice session..

 

[VictorLustig]

Nylander and Timashov are playing too much on the perimeter. They really haven't created any good scoring chances but they have the puck a lot.

 

[Tomas W]

Getting very tired of these injuries. Oh well just lets hope he be ready for the Semis, if Sweden reach it of course.

 

[Jakk123]

In the exhibition game, we scored 3 goals in 45 seconds, watch out

You should never celebrate a win in advance, but I see absolutely zero possibility for Slovakia to win this game. They're barely getting out of their own zone.

 

[McCullogh]

No disrespect to Slovakia.
But this game is so boring and onesided that I wont watch the 3rd.

 

[ulvvf]

Bendelin should have got fired after last U18, so many weird decension. Btw, it is really sad that 3 out of 4 best 97 forwards are born i december, wouldnt mind Grundström, Asplund and Dahlen being born a couple of days later.

Bendelin was head coach of U17 NT last season. Jim Brithén did coach U18 team and he actually has been fired right after U18 Worlds.

Anyway, Slovak p-b-p said Sweden had won U18 Worlds last spring .
