[RipsADrive]

No we dem boys?

Disappointing.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Love to see a hothead like Markstrom squirm after letting in his 6th goal, especially when him not holding the post is what caused it.

Such a shame that MÃ¥rts is resigning ...

Europe is more than just Sweden and WC is not that big ofc alot of people watching it... but its not like WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WC TAKE OF FROM THE JOB AND LETS WATCH IT!

Um, alright. I wasn't trying to be a dick.

Sweden is in Europe though, and I thought it was an important tournament over there. I don't think countries shut down to watch it or anything...

Just trying to figure out the mentality of players not going.

Yeah my interest is directly proportional to the strength of our team. This year I've not watched a full game. Fantenberg? Fransson? Gustafsson and Gustafsson? Laughable lineup from the start and not much better in the end. You just knew this team wouldn't win a single game against any decent country.

USA never plays Canada lightly because they have a chip on their shoulder in those games. It's little brother syndrome in full effect.

It doesn't matter, their roster is just too bad

Nice lil cam shot of the Swedish coach picking his nose there after the too many men call.

 

[Scotty B]

Gallagher ( after his assist ...took me five min to post this!!! )lobbying NOT to be stapled to the bench next game...

 

[Garl]

Great job guys, Sweden looks like a 2nd tier team.

 

[allroundfan]

Too many men, 6th or 7th time in the tournament. That has got to be some sort of record.

 

[Slimmy]

I just couldn't watch this anymore. Unbearable.

 

[Derrty]

Swedes coach was just knuckle deep in his bugle

 

[Scotty B]

Gallagher , after his assist, ( took me fifty tries to post this!!!)lobbying NOT to be stapled to the bench next game...

What good is mining nose gold if you can't share it with the townspeople?

That's a shame. Aren't the World Championships a big deal in Europe? You'd think the players would want to be a part of that.

Sorry if i made it sounds like you was a dick! but WHC isnt that big in Sweden sure its funny if they win and a little celebration but nothing more than that... but the swedish hockey player seems to completely thinkt this tournament is so bad they wont even play it.

Yeah my interest is directly proportional to the strength of our team. This year I've not watched a full game. Fantenberg? Fransson? Gustafsson and Gustafsson? You just knew this team wouldn't win a single game against any decent country.

Same here i dont think i have seen 1 full game with this team i turned of the stream when Canada scored 2-0! and have followed this thread instead

Gord Miller played that well.

 

[canswetoxic]

thats why I dont like being called Canadian

we are mocking our opponent players when we're winning.

we finding thousand of excuses when we're losing

 

[ChaoticOrange]

^ Klefbom wasn't invited because he's still getting over a staph infection. To my knowledge he's never turned down Sweden when healthy and invited.

 

[McDreamy]

Gord Miller played that well.

It was perfect timing. I hope that ends up on youtube.

jimmie the diver at it again

 

[Slimmy]

Mickey Mouse Tre Kronor in the World Cup won't get any love from me. That's for sure.
