Doesn't Sweden have 6 healthy D-men? Why dress Broberg if he is this dinged up?

Me too, I love when the Russians and Czechs especially host. European traditions are awesome all the whistling, jumping, dancing and songs mid game are different than what we’re used to in NA hockey games.

The Czechs are awesome hosts, especially at the senior level. The 2015 Men’s WHC in the Spring was unreal there when Canada sent a near Olympic level team. The year Crosby, Giroux, and company went 10-0 for Gold.

Those early start times are great, hockey early in the day when it’s in Europe for Canadian audiences. When we host in NA it’s late at night/super early for them.

Ah yes, as a viewer of the English Premier League I’m familiar with the early start time for North America. Then, I’m free to go about my day thereafter.

Man Holtz can't buy one right now.

 

[Fatass]

Ferraro echoing what some of you are posting: “Broberg’s really having a tough night.”.

 

[MapleLeafs9]

What is Podkolzin doing on this PK yikes

 

[Deen]

Left wing is wide open for Sweden down low.

 

[snipes]

That PP looked deadly even though they didn’t score

 

[ORRFForever]

Go get a stick. You are just getting in the way of your own teammates without being a help.

 

[Sean Garrity]

Holtz has to bury that.

 

[ORRFForever]

Sweden up in shots.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

What a siege

 

[tictactoe]

this was 2min shift on pk.

 

[Civetty]

Holy shit, that was intense.

 

[CanadaIsIrrelevant]

Need GUNLER!
Didn’t get much time in that PP.

 

[snipes]

Edge of your seat game right now

 

[c9gunner]

Ok. Askarov time

 

[Realgud]

That was intense, holy.

 

[Sear91]

How can those kids stand after that shift? Wow

Completely agree.

I'd like to see Germany get a tournament. Their hockey program has come a long way and their infrastucture is top-notch. Would be a great reward for their efforts. A Swiss-hosted tournament would also be cool. Their track record with the Spengler Cup is great

 

[LMFAO]

Is it just me or Russia's team looks so much bigger and stronger than Sweden ?

Did they got some russian protein shakes if you know what I mean ?

 

[vippe]

Yeah the PP was pretty great, keep at it.

But does Holz have some sort of allergy against taking one timers? Not sure I've seen him do it once so far.

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

Man Holtz can't buy one right now.

He has been terrible.

 

[ViD]

That was a crazy sequence.

 

[Auto Pilot]

Swedish PP is such a weird set up. And Soderstrom needs to get off the first unit, my god does he screw up passes left and right

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

ping by Holtz shoulda had that.

 

[ORRFForever]

Off the post so close damn

It's Sweden, NOT Scotland, ya know.

Why do you want Sweden to win?
