GDT: Quarterfinal - February 21 - Sweden (3) vs Germany (4) OT

[ZEBROA]

Let Dahlin play he can make unexpected things and set up players. Not much more to loose now, let him have some ice time.

Being calm while completely helpless?

I don't know. Since the first 6 minutes, Swedes haven't created that much. They could use any dynamic they can find. Why not look at him? Preaching to the choir, I know.

Noticed they had 4 SOG in the 2nd period. Germany must be playing one heck of a game (im not watching).

Perhaps the lesson he needs to learn is that coaches sometimes act irrationally.

 

[Eisen]

Forsberg seem like he wants to throw the mic, head down to the locker room and lace them up.. haha

Please don't. Angry Foppa is scary.

 

[Pavels Dog]

I didn’t expect Dahlin to be a savior in this tournament against top teams, but not playing him at all and getting shutout by Germany will go down as one of the worst coaching failures of swedish national team history.

 

[nilssont]

Will he coach an NHL team one day, I wonder. It looks like he's pretty good coach.

Nope no chance. Although maybe in Buffalo

This is what we need, we need more players hating to loose thus giving it all out there. If all players give 100% (without stupid penalties...) and stop listening to the coach (because he is awful) then we may be able to turn this around.

 

[PatrikBerglund]

Sweden selects old farts instead of young guns who bring passion, speed and enthusiasm.

I'm honestly cheering for Germany. Losing will benefit Sweden in the ling run. Step one: get the Pejorative Slur coaches far away from the national team. Bring in a Canadian, Finn or whatever - just stop with the morons who love the average age to be 45.

Swe must have had 10-15 shots outside/over

Defense tightened up in the 2nd, for sure. It helps that Sweden has started to seem pretty panic-y, and their shot placement has been dreadful.

 

[bathdog]

Auf Wiedersehen Schweden.

Offense against poor teams, while being under pressure, tend to not go well for them.

 

[nilssont]

Any signs of Dahlin on the ice?

 

[Abraham de Lacy]

What the hell .. Rasmus Dahlin is on the ice ..

 

[IceBjoern]

Gronborg messed up.. Dahlin accidentally got 25 sec of ice time..

 

[VictorLustig]

Not fair to just throw in Dahlin now. Should have happened way earlier in the tournament.

 

[DDRhockey]

I knew I was right about pettersson. Where is jas 39 gripen?

 

[Lampedampe]

Oh No, grönborg will blame the loss on Dahlin now!

 

[PenDuhNotPittsburgh]

Considering MacTavish made it to the NHL anything is possible for Sturm

 

[IceBjoern]

Dahlin

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Dahlin making things happen

2-1

 

[rickardr]

Dahlin with an assist in his 2nd shift

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Dahlin with the assist on Landers goal..

 

[Lampedampe]

Haha Grönborg looks like the biggest fool ever

 

[Eisen]

KAHUUUUUUUUN!

 

[serp]

Kahun YAY !
