GDT: Quarterfinal - May 23 - Finland vs Sweden

[jonlin]

2 NHL players vs 15 NHL players. This is truly an embarrassing loss for sweden. I hope this team wins the championship to stick it to every NHL player who refused to come.

Correction - 2 AHL players. Finland had 0 full-time NHLers on that team.

Czechs-Finns final, let's go!

[Husqvarna]

Way to go Liiga ... eh, Finland!

 

[Norman Moscow]

No Hank against USA, please.

 

[aphyro]

Sweden played very awfully. Was shocked by how bad they were. I mean, Finland was playing like trash but they still dominated. Deserved win. Deserved loss for Sweden. And guys should be embarrassed.

They should be embarassed I've seen boys playing better than this team of NHL players.

 

[Erikfromfin]

Haha bunch of liiga grunts just beat Sweden olympic team just wait till we get our next generation NHLers into these tourneys Finland is the new dominator

 

[mrJT]

Take that blind NHL fans! The difference between the NHL and the top European leagues is really pretty small Finland has proven it clearly. The same goes with Switzerland and Germany. NHL is MASSIVELY overrated. The best league for sure, but not a yuuge difference still with the top European leagues class.

No, just no.

 

[BusQuets]

I would be pissed as a swedish fan. Those names and absolutely brutal team hockey.

Props to Finland though. Great game.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Loui Eriksson in 3 on 3 hahahahaha

I know. Inexcusable. It's a f***ing joke. I guess Grönborg did like the responsible clowns for Game of Thrones and wanted an early ending.

lol

Jukka Jalonen made Grönborg look like a fool. He is a genious, mastermind. He deserves a statue in front of Vierumäki.

He is but Grönborg is the complete opposite. So it wasn't his most difficult match. Cat and mouse

 

[Retroglyphs]

Hahaha, priceless to listen to a finnish OT goal on finnish TV! What a game by Manninen, and what a laser beam to de-throne the world champion! Kakko-show incoming in the semis now?

 

[king89]

Finland has no chance! NONE.

Everybody in this thread before the game.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Liiga allstars > Sweden allstars

Manninen isn't from Liiga, as far as I remeber.

 

[Sol]

Lundqvist is absolute garbage.

 

[tobu]

This result is great for the bars in Bratislava.

 

[WinTheRightGames]

Liiga > NHL

 

[JoVel]

No Hank against USA, please.

What? Sweden and USA are done, they won't play anymore.

 

[Stubu]

Considering the roster, this is the worst Tre Kronor show I've seen

So the Swedish national team represents 100% of the NHL?

 

[Prntscrn]

Will we get more "I don't know what we could've done" when TV start asking Grönborg question about why they played so poorly and couldn't keep the puck in the team for more than 2 passes?

 

[chauron]

Perfect example how names on paper mean nothing

 

[Stubu]

The turtling at the end of 3rd got just ridiculous. Karma and so on

 

[Jussi]

If only we had Olkinuora in goal...

 

[Lays]

Lundqvist is absolute garbage.

Sweden’s defense was absolute garbage***

Clear the crease and be aware of who’s in it! Would’ve led to 3 goals not happening. Sweden losing wasn’t Hank’s fault
