Wrinkles are a hoax.

I'll try to remember that when I look in the mirror.

 

[Prntscrn]

Shut the hell up

Come on even if the Russian players feel wrong done the shifted focus is not to their advantage

 

[ViD]

If Russia doesn't find a way to get into overtime or win this they could be playing Canada in the QF.

That’s fine, we will beat them handily

 

[Garl]

didnt he play like a pig? and our player deleted? nice? fair? players like that pig must be disqualified.

Yes, Abramov should be disqualified

 

[snipes]

Yeah that’s a slew foot.

Dangerous play and a big no no in hockey.

Spearing, kicking, and slew footing are cardinal sins in hockey.

 

[Canucks LB]

Bobby Mac Says potentially a suspension, it was a Slewfoot.

Looks like me and Bobby are on the same page, Minus the suspension

 

[LOFIN]

I someone seriously calling this SLEWFOOT



a dive? Or are we talking about a different penalty here? Because someone who doesn't see that leg movement from the Russian, is blind.

That's a suspension.

 

[theslatcher]

Well, we don't have a head coach

Haven't stopped Sweden the last few years.

 

[dedutchhockey]

Costmar getting under the Russians skin.

McKenzie says he wouldn’t be surprised if Abramov gets suspended for slew foot

 

[Mitch nylander]

That is not a slew foot lmao. Stupid penalty, yes. Slew foot no.

 

[c9gunner]

I don't think Abramov will be suspended, but he is going to get shit from Larionov for sure

 

[Deen]

I thought Bobby Mac retired? TSN guys sound jealous.

 

[Atas2000]

Can't believe a gambling company would be allowed to sponsor a junior hockey team.

Hey, it's Europe, it's Skandinavia.

Most of eurpopean sports are now sponsored by actually shady gambling companies. I don't like it either, but it is what it is.

[dedutchhockey]

This is the worst defense I have seen from Sweden in a while.

Agreed. Very very underwhelming players.

 

[Fatass]

This Costmar kid is one pain in the arse kind of guy to play against, isn’t he? Love how plays. Not fancy, but damn he’s fun to watch for different reasons.

 

[fahad203]

I have not been impressed with Holtz

 

[NorCalhockey]

Well, we don't have a head coach

Serious question: is Swedish coach in Sweden right now? Who is coaching Sweden in this tournament?

 

[LOFIN]

That is not a slew foot lmao.

Kicking motion, and gets him off balance. 100% slewfoot by the rulebook:

RULE 160 – SLEW-FOOTING
DEFINITION: A player who recklessly kicks an opponent’s skate from behind or who recklessly pulls an opponent backwards while at the same time knocking or kicking his feet from under him.i. A player who slew-foots an opponent will be assessed a major and automatic game-misconduct penalty.ii. A player who recklessly endangers an opponent by slew-footing will be assessed a match penalty

 

[Startseva]

Swedes ''dominated'' by having 4 PPs which is breaking the game

 

[ORRFForever]

I don't gamble. I'm glad. Terrible/Sad habit.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Holtz talking some shit. Love it lol

 

[Canucks LB]

Talking about the play is fine, debating if it’s embellishment is completely fine, attacking other members and fanbases is not, knock it off.

 

[Fatass]

Gambling on NFL has been huge for decades.

 

[canswetoxic]

When a canadian tripped himself on his own skate it was a "clear penalty" but when a swede gets axe chopped in the face it's a dive. Logic

 

[Del Preston]

Haha who was that Swede TSN just interviewed?
