GDT: ROC vs Sweden

[Ivo]

Czechs need a point vs Slovakia to advance, Sweden has the tie breaker.

What is the tie breaker then? More IKEAs? I thought it was head-to-head.

 

[Czechboy]

Sorry Sweden... I was pulling for you all tourney.

 

[PTmbp13]

NOw we hoping for Finland. Sweden little brother who learn them play pro hockey. Go Finland. Finns get crazy when heaing that but its a fact. Anyway it was close but no cigar, ROC has some heavy names that Swedens did not have.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Sweden could have won gold if they had made the quarters.

 

[weklof]

Oh, well, now at least I can watch the medel round without being nervous. This team Sweden wasn't better than this, didn't deserve a place in the QF

 

[Jayan]

I don’t blame the players who showed up, all the ones who refused to represent our country can eat shit

 

[NikoEhlers]

Hey slovaks, I heard the czech coach said your team is a bunch of goats.

 

[Gobben]

I never liked hockey anyway.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Have to give it to the team that they did play pretty well here in the final games. But if you lose against Denmark, Belarus, Czech Rep. and Russia you don’t deserve to move on.

I will cheer for Switzeden.

 

[Finnswiss]

If Sweden had won in OT, there would still be a little chance for quarterfinal, but now of course it's over. It's like I said, at least one of the top ice hockey nations will miss the quarterfinal. Canada is still in danger too despite the loss of Kazahkstan against Norway.

 

[Erikfromfin]

Why do they even bother playing the anthem if it isnt russias anyway

 

[canswetoxic]

Sweden never missed a playoffs since 1937. Garpenlöv and ishockeyförbundet makes us pround.

 

[AB13]

Hard to not be pissed about this but it’s one year and doesn’t really matter too much. Hopefully Garpenlöv gets sacked now.

That is true, but Canada seems to be gaining momentum and have played much better since arrival of Magiapane. Still, tough test against finns.

Yes, the 8 teams that make the quarters can win gold.

For the other 8 it's a no-no.

 

[Tmu84]

This really has been one of the most bizarre tournaments i have seen so far. Quite surprising results.

 

[OskarOskarius]

Hard to not be pissed about this but it’s one year and doesn’t really matter too much. Hopefully Garpenlöv gets sacked now.

I don’t see that happening, but one can hope he learns from this experience and is more prepared next time. The real prize is the Olympics afterall not the E-level WC.

 

[canswetoxic]

And Garpenlöv not even apologies in the interview, gosh.

 

[mattihp]

At least now Sweden won't be stuck with Garpenlöv heading into the olympics.

Who wants to show up when they didn't even get called ?

 

[flemo]

Agreed, it is very overated on these boards

That lillabror stuff has got so obsolete it just doesn't trigger any reactions any more. Sorry.

And damn, I wanted the traditional Sweden game in the QF/SF/GMG.

Looking at our play so far, we've got to seriously overachieve to beat Taiwan

(Yes we welcome the support! Grattis!)

Exactly... 1 seed in our pool is a curse. Who wants to face an in form Canada on a 4 game win streak? Not this guy. Really hoping for a Canada vs Russia quarter.

I'm still shocked that not one NHL dman... Given how many amazing ones Sweden has
